[QLab] LanBox vs Kiss-box

[Joshua Coleman]

Let's clarify the LanBox and the Kiss-Box products, as they are two  
very different beasts.

The LanBox is essentially a full featured light board without any  
knobs or faders. It can store scenes and run complex fades,  
sequences, and moves (motorized luminaries). It has it's very own  
software for programming light cues with fade times, setting up chase  
sequences, and a variety of other fancy light board type functions.  
It can run as a standalone DMX controller once a show has been  
programmed.

The Kiss-box is an interface only. It has no memory or execution  
facilities (that I know of) on board. It requires a computer running  
third party software to actually operate any DMX, MIDI, RS232 etc..  
controlled devices.

Using only QLab and a LanBox, you could easily control  an entire  
show (with the unfortunate exception of the actors), whereas the Kiss- 
Box would require QLab, the Kiss-Box, and another computer or light  
board to store and execute the lighting.

I'm not particular to either one of these devices, just pointing out  
they are two totally different things.
