The PunchLight DLi-LAN is a network MIDI device that connects PunchLight lighting units and studio displays via a local area network (LAN). This device controls the studio warning lights from your host audio application (DAW) and displays information such as timecode, bars/beats, time, etc., on PunchLight Studio Displays.
