Overview
This project is to create a framework that handles all the hard work of creating an efficient and robust lighting application. It leaves the developers of the applications free to concentrate on the user interaction without worrying about the underlying code.
If you are looking for a ready built lighting application for OSX then you should take a look at Chameleon, it's built using LightsOn.
LightsOn currently supports the USBDMX.COM Interface, and the EnttecPro Interface.
