Hi Eric, this is what I have done in a couple of permanent installations. I use a motu ultralite and a mini pc (or mac). This is fine for an installation that will never be touched. However even using linux or a mac there are problems with this setup for permanent installations if the staff want to turn the system on and off each day - even doing my best to secure all usb and power cables even in a few short months I have had to go up a couple of times just to reconnect cables that have been jogged etc Plus power cuts can cause problems with software on any system. I want to simplify the system - one dedicated box with an on/off switch and a play button that staff can easily operate and has the minimum amount of variables that can go wrong. I think this program might do it :
