For those using Lightjockey is there some sort of 3d view program (I just browsed thru Magic 3d EasyView and of course they need THEIR dongle) that would come with Light jockey or is that built in?
Thanks again for all your help...i'm getting there:)

A universe is 512 dmx channels. You can have an unlimited number of dmx receivers on that universe, but there's two caveats:
1. Obviously, you're still limited to 512 channels, so if you need more channels than that, you need more universes.
2. You should only have 32 dmx receivers on a branch of data line. Any more than that and you should have splitter/amplifiers to boost and stabilize the signal. It MAY work to put more receivers on a single branch of data. But as with anything dmx related, it will always work, until it doesn't. And you have no control over when that will be.
LJ uses an offline visualizer that's built-in. It's ok, but you won't be able to make things like musicians, staging, etc., appear. That, however, may change based on the updates they're working on, via something called One Key. I'm not familiar with all the details, but upgrades to the visualizer may be included. Their better visualizer is called Martin Show Designer. I believe it accepts info from any controller.
BTW, you can download the latest version of LJ and Hog for free. It's just that to make them work, you need hardware.
