Why DMX Infrastructure is Still Stuck in the 90s

Every lighting manufacturer ships PDFs. Every lighting software rebuilds fixture profiles manually. Every technician copies channel mappings again and again. And somehow this is still normal. So I started building an AI-powered OpenDMX skill for XvX Systems. The idea: • Upload fixture manuals • OCR + parse DMX tables • Extract channel mappings automatically • Store fixture knowledge centrally • Build an open ecosystem for lighting infrastructure The goal is not another closed lighting software.
