sACNView is a tool for viewing, monitoring and testing the ANSI/ESTA E1.17 protcol, informally known as "Streaming ACN".
For general information on the project, visit the web site
This protcol is used in lighting systems (typically theatre, television, live entertainment and other systems where a high performance stream of data is required).
This is sACNView mark 2. The original program was written in Borland Delphi, but this new version supplants it. It is written in C++, using the Qt library and sACN reception code from Electronic Theatre Controls.
If you are interested in simply using the program, visit the product web site to download installers for your platform (Mac or Windows OS).
If you are interested in building the application you will need the following:
- Qt Library and Creator - https://www.qt.io/ide/
- Note : Due to this bug in Qt you need to use Qt version 5.9.0 or higher to build sACNView.
- To build the windows installer - NSIS - http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ and the SimpleFW NSIS Plugin
- If NSIS is included in your $PATH the installer will be built automatically
To build, open the .PRO file in the root directory and build with Qt Creator
