The MIDI lighting output from Proclaim is nice, if you have a lightboard that works with it. We didn't. But, I do know my way around Arduinos, so I tried to build a little gizmo that would listen to MIDI commands and output DMX to our light system (only a few different fixtures).
It works very well! We've been running the Sunday services on this system for a few months now - partly on the prototype, but more recently on the production version, which is a tiny little device - an Arduino Pro Micro, a MAX485 differential driver chip, and an XLR connector hanging off the end to plug our lights into.
The build is fairly simple - anyone with a bit of soldering skill should be able to put one together, though modifying the software is a bit more complex if you've not done any programming before. Right now, it probably would require someone who has done some Arduino development to make major changes, but simple fixture changes aren't too difficult.

Let me know if you have any questions on the capabilities!
