5 5  ShowRunner™ can control DMX fixtures through several different methods, including Pharos DMX controllers. The most common Pharos controllers sold through Crestron are the Pharos LPC-1 (DIN-DMX-1UNIVERSE) and the Pharos LPC-2 (DIN-DMX-2UNIVERSE). These LPC controllers appear physically identical, but the LPC-1 shares a single universe across both DMX outputs while the LPC-2 has a separate universe for each output. ShowRunner™ uses the Pharos Controller API to send commands over Ethernet to the Pharos Controller, which then sends DMX commands to the fixtures.

9 9  ShowRunner™ integrates with Pharos LPC DMX controllers using the Pharos API. The ShowRunner™ configuration and the Pharos project loaded to the Pharos LPC need to be in coordination with each other in order for ShowRunner™ to control the DMX loads as expected. It is therefore sometimes necessary to either create or edit a Pharos project in order to determine how the DMX loads need to be defined in the ShowRunner™ configuration.
