Glossary
ACN: Advanced Control Network.
Art-Net: Artistic License network protocol. This is the Artistic License
DMX over Ethernet protocol.
Dimmer: One discretely controlled device or parameter of a device out of
512 possible in the DMX512 protocol. Sometimes also referred
to as “Address”, “DMX Channel” or “Output Channel”
DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.
ESP: Enttec Show Protocol. This is the Enttec DMX over Ethernet
protocol.
HTP: Highest Takes Precedence.
IP: Internet Protocol.
LTP: Latest or Lowest Takes Precedence (Context usually informs
which one is applicable.)
PC: Personal Computer.
RDM: Remote Device Management.
Stream: A DMX512 over Ethernet Universe coming into or leaving the
ODE
Universe: 512 addresses or slots of control information as conveyed
by DMX512 protocol. As a lighting system may have more than
512 discrete things to control, multiple universes may be
required. When this is the case, the Universe number will be
expressed in 0-255 form for ESP or 0-15 subnet and 0-15
universe # for Art-Net.
