2.1 | 1 | Zum wired can be deployed in App (Zum) Mode or CNET Mode. App mode will perform lighting control logic within the Zum JBOX hardware while CNET mode pushes all logic back to the Control System. ShowRunnerCLC™ supports both modes and can be used to enhance app mode or allow complete control over the hardware to perform functionality. All hardware does not need to be in app mode on a project. You can mix and match as needed. This is not an exhaustive list but serves as a guide for when Zum is required to be in CNET mode to achieve the desired functionality. |
