● DMX Routing
To better understand the use of all features, let's define each category of
this menu:
Direction : Set the direction you need to the outlet, either Input or
Output. Depending your selection, some features won't be available in the
other categories.
Protocol : Determines the network protocol used for the outlet (Art-Net™
or streaming over ACN (sACN E1.31))
Universe :
ArtNet: Select one of 256 possible universes available in the Art-Net™
protocol. This is used for addressing DMX lines on Art-Net™. The
hexadecimal value of the universe is in between brackets. The first digit
equals to the Art-Net™ subnet and the second to the Art-Net™ universe
within that subnet.
sACN : Select the sACN universe to use for addressing DMX lines on sACN.
You can enter a numeric value between 1 and 63999. In case of an input,
the priority of the universe can be set by adding a colon and the priority
value. The priority level can go from 0 to 200. A higher level has a higher
priority. (ex: 678:100 means universe 678 at priority level 100)
Mode : According to the direction you set on the outlet, this menu offers
several mode :
Input : Disabled : Outlet is disabled, better for node performance.
Normal : Outlet set as normal input
Merge : Allow to merge 2 DMX streams.
When outlet 1 is configured as a merged input, the next outlet (2) will be
automatically set as input as well.
Output : Disabled : Outlet is disabled, better for node performance.
Zero : Send all channels with a zero value (for maintenance
only)
Normal: Normal output.
IP Merging : This special feature allows you to merge up to 4 different
Art-Net™ or sACN streams through the network. The merging policy will
be mainly applied on the Output, except for IP backup.
Legend : Set a legend to the outlet, useful to remind yourself what's
connected to that outlet.
Unicast : Art-Net™ is a broadcast protocol, which means that each packet
sent from a single source will be received by all actives equipment on the
network. Unicast allows you to cast you data to a selected IP address,
resulting in a better use of network bandwidth.
