RDM in a lighting desk

Rob,

There aren't any really out there yet, but I think we will start to see them within the next couple years. I've always said that seeing a full implementation in the major consoles will happen last.

There's a couple reasons for this:

1. Console development is driven by user requests. They typically have feature request lists that are a mile long. It takes a while for something like RDM to get enough visibility to bubble up the list high enough.

2. Controllers aren't going to implement until there are enough responders out there that have implemented RDM. We are getting to that tipping point I believe here.

3. Controller implementations are by far the most difficult and involved, especially to do it well. There is much more that has to be taken into account and coded for than the typical responder or even test device.
