Has anyone tried or had any success with using Live Control mode with Light designer and a Paradigm processor?
Jeff,
This is not a supported interface for LightDesigner. It is untested and I would expect you to encounter several issues preventing you from getting this to work properly, reliably, or at all.. Wireless networks are prone to issues including packet loss, which in Live Control will men the system does not work. There is a solution if you need to connect to the Paradigm system using a wireless connection from a laptop, but it will require a second computer. You can connect a computer to the wired network, and use remote desktop to connect wireless to that computer to control and program the Paradigm system. This is a setup that is currently implemented on multiple Unison Paradigm sites and works very well.

Hi
We have recently had paradigm installed in two venues and have wireless network hubs attached and it all seems to work though the lag is noticable.

I was at a site this afternoon and utilized the AV guys wireless setup - worked ok - but lag was noticeable as indicated previously.

What flavor were you using? I have had some pretty decent success using a wireless N router that I keep in my bag and haven't noticed any great deal of lag.
Just curious....
We have enough youth. How about a fountain of "Smart"?
Ditto!
In fact it convinced me to get a wireless router/AP for my kit. On site I work in Live Control almost all the time.

I wouldn't suggest it to an end-user, but I have found it to be a usefull tool for commisioning systems. I have found it to be as reliable as the quality of my wireless connection and I wouldn't use it unless I had the time to fix any problems that came up.
I've been using a TrendNet 453APB WAP quite successfully for the last year. Every once in a while it's connection will drop, but it's not a problem with Light Designer.
Now what I really need is sACN view for Droid/iTouch or similar way to control the Sensor racks before the control console/RFR is online ;).
