In another thread a comment was made that UPB, like other technologies has a "popcorn effect". I was wondering if you use links or send individual commands to switches? A link signal lasts less then a second and response by any device takes place instantly. You can even dim a whole house...

Off topic, but at my church there are various light loads that are not part of the DMX "stage" lighting system. I am interested in finding a way to send DMX signals from the light board that will control UPB devices. Has anyone tried this??? Thanks Dave
