Live Design International (LDI) 2024

Setting up and testing a lighting control system used to be relatively simple, but it’s becoming increasingly complex, and networking plays an integral part. If you want to advance your career in this industry, then it’s a good idea to know how to set up, test, and troubleshoot lighting networks, including DMX, Ethernet, and Ethernet-based protocols like Art-Net and sACN, and how to use RDM to quickly configure and remotely monitor your equipment. This course covers all of those bases with an emphasis in hands-on activities and learning.

Bring a laptop if you have one, or a smart phone or tablet if you don’t have a laptop for networking exercises.
