WESTLAKE, TX – The PLASA Control Protocols Plugfest, the event where manufacturers and developers can test their products for interoperability with other manufacturer’s products, is scheduled to take place Aug. 2-5 at the DFW Marriott Solana in Westlake, TX. A few implementations are expected of the draft standard for RDMnet, BSR E1.33, as the task group continues its work on the latest protocol being developed by the Controls Protocol Working Group of the PLASA Technical Standards Program. Everyone is welcome to attend.
More details from PLASA Plugfest (http://www.rdmprotocol.org/)
The Plugfest was created originally to support the Remote Device Management protocol (ANSI E1.20) but it has expanded to cover all CPWG protocols, including the popular ANSI E1.31 Streaming DMX over ACN protocol, and now draft versions of RDMnet (BSR E1.33). Plugfest attendees from all over the world bring controllers, lights, analyzers and various other tools and devices, and connect them all through a network to look for and resolve problems. As the scope has grown, so has attendance, and consequently, the space. Complimentary coffee, bagels and scones are served.
The scheduled hours are 4-11 p.m. on Friday, 9 a.m.-11 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, and 9 a.m. to noon on Monday. The event is attended by members of the E1.20 (RDM), E1.31 (sACN), and E1.33 (RDMnet) task groups, who wrote the standards, are there and are happy to provide their expertise.
