So Working on the show this year, and my director just gave me some new lighting requests that will .. basically double my # of U from 52 to ~108 to drive all the LED sets we're looking at deploying. So I have some questions...
  1. What's the largest # of Universes that you have actually run in production from QLC natively? My concerns:
    • Network Traffic Loads
    • Resource needs ( CPU/memory )
    • JS Matrix effect tools running on larger matrixes 256*30
  2. What's the largest # of Universes you've ever heard being pushed across ArtNET/SCN? I am running ethernet for most of the fixture management devices ( Raspi + OLAd + Fadecandy ) .. so not worried too much about bandwidth or latency ..
I know i can move to commercial solutions that push larger configs and control from QLC via DMX, OSC or other tooling .. but wanna try to keep complexity to a single tool .. AND of course, push the envelope. I will probably do some initial testing in the next few weeks .. but f anyone has any knowledge of large(er) configs they've run .. i'd love to hear about it. Any help is appreciated ;)
