The Timeline Personality allows you to control any Timeline using DMX.
In the Timeline Component in Zookeeper you need to set the ID for each timeline as this will be referenced by DMX channel 1.
DMX channel 2 triggers an action on the Timeline referenced on DMX Channel 1.
Please Note: A command will only be triggered if a DMX value changes. For example, timeline 1->Play (DMX values 1, 10) will trigger a play command the first time it is sent. If the timeline runs into a stop command and you wish to trigger play again sending 1->Play won't do anything as the DMX values have not changed. You need to insert a "Do nothing" cue in between (values 1, 0) before issued 1_Play again (1,10).
Interestingly, you can trigger timelines using DMX and at the same time use DMX to control other pins. As long as the timeline and DMX do not reference the same pin at the same time it will be fine.
