E1.31 supports two styles of priority. The first is a per-universe priority that defines a single
priority for all of the slots within the universe. The second style, per-channel priority, allows a
separate priority be assigned to each individual channels within that universe. Not all E1.31
receivers support per-channel priority. On those receivers that support per-channel priority,
the per-universe priority will be ignored when per-slot priority is enabled.
Priority : : double-click on the sACN universe priority cell to prioritize the E1.31 data
being sent for that universe of data. Valid settings range from 0 to 200, with higher
numbers representing higher priority.
Per Channel Priority : : double-click on the Per Channel cell and use the pop-up menu
to configure the per-slot priority values for individual slots within that universe. Valid
settings range from 0 to 200. Higher numbers represent higher priority. A slot priority of
0 indicates that the slot should be ignored.
–/ + : click these keys to expand or reduce the number of E1.31 configurations for a
specific DMX universe.
When E1.31 is configured and fixtures are patched, the Net Data LED on the DMX Processor
8000 will illuminate to indicate E1.31 Output.
