7 7  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.

11 +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.

13 13  Pharos projects are created using the free [[Pharos Designer 2 software>>https://www.pharoscontrols.com/support/designer/software-downloads/]] from Pharos Controls. When creating a project for use with ShowRunner™, ensure that API version 5.0 is selected for the project. Individual loads control from ShowRunner™ is achieved with group-level commands using the Pharos Controller API, so each Fixture Group defined in the Pharos Project should correspond to a single load in ShowRunner™. In addition to group-level commands, ShowRunner™ also supports mapping ShowRunner™ Scenes to Pharos Timelines.
