RDM and lighting designers - E1.20 RDM (Remote Device Management) Protocol Forums

I know this is an RDM forum, but why has ACN taken so long to take off then? And why has there suddenly been a push for RDM and not ACN. Is it just because of individuals pushing it like yourself and Mr. Howell? Does ACN work over DMX or is it only transferable over Ethernet networks? I guess manufacturers are happier taking small steps rather than larger leaps which might alienate and confuse their customers. I know ROBE fixtures have an ethernet port, does this support Ethernet neyworks or is it just for fix. uppdates?

Wow thats a whole lot of question marks, looks like i actually know nothing at all !
