Great topic guys. THanks for all the tips. Hopefully I won't be chiming in with too many (I'm lost) questions.

Here's a bunch of multi-universe Artnet LED strips controllers: http://nutcracker123.com/nutcracker/rgb_controllers/. These will allow you to send video to over 5000 RGB LEDs for around $200.

There are alternatives to Artnet, like Pixelpusher and Fadecandy. They're usually cheaper. Since these all use their own different protocol, they would require some way of Syphoning/Spouting your way out of Resolume and translating the video to the protocol that's needed. For instance, the PixelPusher comes with a Processing sketch that can take a Syphon input and sends data to the controller. The same goes for if you want to hack your own solution using an Arduino or a Teensy.
Hey Joris,
Please can you help me by providing some instruction on establishing DMX.
I'm trying to get it right but the led lights are not working properly as I wanted.
Please reply soon. Thanks

Why don't you give us the details of your setup/process to control your LED lights with Resolume so that we can understand what you may be doing wrong?

I'm wondering if you ever used the Alphapix 16 controller??
I'm about to order some to use with resolume artnet also.
