Introduction
============

this is a basic overview of the protocol controling the Compulite
Vector Playback Wing. The wing is just a stupid display device
without any complex logic. It just sends UDP-packets containing all
the currently pressed buttons. In return it gets a message containing
all leds to turn on.

There is also a keepalive protocol which I didn't analyzed so far.

UDP Ports
=========
source port on control desk: any
source port on wing: 3027
destination port on control desk: 3028
destination port on wing: 3027
