sACNView version 1.1.0 is available from the Sourceforge download link on the right.

It is important to note that sACNView is not designed to control lighting under show critical conditions. The software is designed for test use only.

sACN, or Streaming ACN, is an informal name for the E1.31 Streaming Protocol released by ESTA, the Entertainment Services Technology Association.

The sACN protocol is based upon a simplified usage of the full ACN standard, and is designed to provide a bridge from proprietary DMX-like TCP/IP protocols currently in use to the full ACN standard, which is backwards compatible with older lighting equipment with lower processing power

At the time of writing the E1.31 standard is still in draft; sACNView will be revised and updated as necesary when the standard is complete. However, the program is useful as of now as many manufacturers including ETC, Wybron and Pathway already support sACN to the current draft in their equipment.

sACNView is a Windows utility for viewing and controlling Streaming ACN levels on a network. Streaming ACN is a lighting control protocol specified by the Entertainment Technologies Services Association (ESTA). sACN is a simple DMX-like control protocol. See the Streaming ACN page in the Wiki for more information on sACN

sACNView runs under Windows 2000, XP or Vista, and is written using Borland Delphi. It allows Streaming ACN data to be viewed in real time in a variety of ways, including whole universe views, individual channel displays, and oscilloscope and logging views.
