Is there a .Net Library for DMX, specifically sACN (streaming ACN)?

Question

I've ordered a streaming DMX (1.31) compliant controller, and I'd like to write a application to control my Christmas Lights.

Answer 1

As far as I know there's no .NET library but the protocol is extremely simple to implement, especially to transmit. For the full protocol description you would need the (non-free) E1.31 standard from PLASA/ESTA, however it is supported by Wireshark and sACNView (written in Delphi, an app I develop), and you could figure it out from the source of those two I think.

Answer 2

There are now several libraries that implement the sACN protocol.

Kadmium-sACN is a fairly simple one that gets the job done, that I personally use.

Answer 3

This library is legit too:

It does sACN over the network well.

Answer 4

This looks promising: Architecture for Control Networks (ACN) on CodePlex
