    Hello!
    have been trying to see if I could connect QLC to Capture Polar (student edition)...
    QLC connects with Artnet thru OLA.
    Wondering if anyone else has had any luck/tips/tricks (or has even tried for that matter)

    Just FYI:
    Have a fully working Chamsys MagicQ>Artnet>Polar setup working.
    Also have a Quartz Composer>Artnet>Capture Polar setup working.
    Have QLC>OLA>Artnet setup working.

    When I run my usual QLC>Artnet (working) the external universe does not show up in Capture Polar : (
    Have tried launching Capture before launching Ola/after/before QLC/After QLC etc.... no love.

    I imagine this has something to do with the wedging into Artnet thru OLA and is probably a no-go.

    Ideas?

    thanks!!

    Hello Lars!

    Ola info can be found here...
    http://www.opendmx.net/index.php/OLA
    Some Mac DMX software uses it to implement Artnet connectivity (among many other protocols like Shownet)
    I think it makes available 6 possible artnet universes.... Works dandy with my Enttec ODE but was quite confusing for me to setup, but bulletproof once working. Am a semi-techy artist type, but network configs baffle me. Mac/Linux

    The software I am using with OLA is called QLC. a neat little package that allows "roll your own" control interfaces...
    I use it for small dance shows with lotsa LED pars and such, but will control movers great. Linux/Mac/PC very stable on Mac.

    cheers!
