Helpful links to Use LOR equipment with DLA

  • DMX-DOC.pdf; Light-O-Rama document showing firmware versions required for DMX operation
  • LOR controllers need to be updated to firmware v4.20 or higher to work in a DMX environment.
  • The only supported way to update the firmware in the LOR controllers is to use the LOR utility. This requires a valid licensed copy of of the Light-O-Rama sequencing software.
