5. PORTS, MERGING, PRIORITY AND DMX INPUT
DMX512 PORT A AND MERGING
eDMX Products are capable of several advanced merging and stream selection functions. Support for both HTP (Highest Takes
Precedence) and LTP (Latest Takes Precedence) merging of 2 sources producing a single DMX512/pixel universe output thus
permitting 2 controllers to co-exist for 1 lighting rig. To achieve DMX stream merging simply send 2 Art-Net or sACN streams with
the same Universe ID and configure the applicable merge scheme HTP or LTP. If the number of sources exceeds 2 only the first 2
will be processed and all others are dropped. Possible merging sources are:

Notes
Art-Net I, II, 3 or 4
Priority 100 is assigned to permit Art-Net + sACN merge/priority functionality.
sACN / E1.31
Only sACN sources of the same Priority will be HTP or LTP merged.
PIXEL PORTS AND MERGING
LeDMX MAX supports HTP merging of 2 sources producing a single pixel universe output thus permitting 2 controllers to co-exist
for 1 lighting rig. To achieve DMX stream merging simply send 2 Art-Net or sACN streams with the same Universe ID. If the number
of sources exceeds 2 only the first 2 will be processed and all others are dropped. Possible merging sources are:

Notes
Art-Net I, II, 3 or 4
Priority 100 is assigned to permit Art-Net + sACN merge/priority functionality.
sACN / E1.31
Only sACN sources of the same Priority will be HTP or LTP merged.
DMX-IN Art-Net
Configure DMX-IN port universe to match a DMX-OUT port universe. Priority is locked to 100
since Art-Net does not have a Priority value.
DMX-IN sACN
Configure DMX-IN port universe to match a DMX-OUT port universe. Priority is defined by
the port configuration sACN Priority.
