Digital-to-Analog Converter

What is a Digital-to-Analog Converter?

A Digital-to-Analog Converter (= DAC) is a hardware device that is able to convert computer generated laser images (serial signal) into ILDA laser control signals (parallel signal).
Typically USB and Ethernet controllers are used as Digital-to-Analog Converters.
For every individually controlled show laser display you'll need another Digital-to-Analog Converter.

What is better - USB or Ethernet?

Most modern laser show software uses LAN transmission of the ILDA control signal due to very long transmission distances.
