suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.
Honestly, I would just stick with the Etherdream. It's pretty affordable and ethernet connected. I haven't used mine much (My first network DAC was the RIYA MultiBus) but I see it as current?
With regards to signage stuff, I have experience with LED scrollers and some of the free software like Xibo and soon whatever the thing was that I found. But the easier the better and now I'm finding out wifi not so much at this venue.
Not sure if this should get it's own thread or not, but does the disco room want my now 3 meter wide x 1 meter high LED screen to hang center front? Or do you all prefer to keep it unlit at all times up front? If so -- let me know ASAP so I can pick up a laptop and VJ software and pile in a ton of clips.
I believe I'm going to bring the video rig for the disco room for live streaming, and should have a h265/h264 encoder widget by event (or will borrow a h264 from MAGFest) that can feed twitch/youtube/rtsp/etc)
Here is my hardware list -- this is what I've got sitting around. Make requests:

Oh, I've spoken to buffo and Brad about this, but I'll be bringing 25 of these uplights to sell for $20 each:
I bought them for our wedding last year, and don't need them anymore. All tested and working. Many different modes and DMX capable. Yes, they are cheap chinese units, but they wanted to charge us $1200 to RENT uplights for 6 hours. I just bought them for half that amount.
I like it!
At FLEM part II this year, we had an "abstract jam". With the participants following a few VERY basic "zone" guidelines, it turned out very cool!
Frank and I did a variant on this idea at the end of the night where we (very organically) traded back and forth between beams and abstracts to the entire Daft Punk "Alive" album.
I could definitely see something like this working in both the theater AND club.
Yeah that was awesome. We had the Z5s making some cool shit side by side. Then the daft punk at the end of the night was really fun.
I have also been tossing around the idea of making LSX abstracts to live thumpy thumpy music but wasn't sure about a screen. I do not own one big enough.

I have access to two 8' x 6' fastfold screens. They're older and da-lite sticky. Would be best not to put holes in them :-)
