INPUT
A process engine supports the following inputs:
DMX:
A DMX source, such as a lighting control desk, can be connected
to any of the DMX port(s) of the LumiNode. You will need to use a
male to male adapter to connect the console to the DMX port of
the LumiNode. In the input configuration you click on the port you
wish to use as an input port, to enable the DMX input.
A greyed-out port with a diagonal bar in it means this port is al-
ready used.
ArtNet:
Any ArtNet controller can be used as an input for the process en-
gine. The LumiNode supports all ArtNet revisions, including ArtNet
IV. Tick the box to select ArtNet as an input protocol.
Here you can add the universe number you wish to use, and you
can specify the IP address of the source. If you leave the source IP
field 0.0.0.0 any source in the network outputting this universe will
be used. The LumiNode process engine will bound this input to
the first source using this universe number.
For a better identification of the source you can add a text to your
ArtNet input.
Advanced settings:
Next to the Source IP field you find a cog wheel for
advanced settings:
Accept Own Data. In some cases, it is required to ignore the
ArtNet data generated by the LumiNode itself. When disabled
the LumiNode will now only listen to other sources in the
network.
By default, the “Accept Own Data” is enabled.
sACN:
Any sACN controller can be used as an input for the process en-
gine. Tick the box to select sACN as an input protocol.
Here you can add the universe number you wish to use, and you
can specify the IP address of the source.
If you leave the source IP field 0.0.0.0 any source in the network
outputting this universe will be used. The LumiNode process en-
gine will bound this input to the first source using this universe
number.
For a better identification of the source you can add a text to your
sACN input.
Advanced sACN settings:
Next to the Source IP field you find a cog wheel for
advanced settings:
Per-channel Priority Mode. To better handle multiple source
control scenarios, the OxDD sACN start code has been intro-
duced to allow setting a source priority for each channel of a
universe. The following rules apply:
- If all sources have the same priority HTP will be applied.
- If for a source the OxDD packet is not available, the standard
universe priority is being used.
- The number of sources is unlimited.
Accept Own Data. In some cases, it is required to ignore
the sACN data generated by the LumiNode itself. When dis-
abled the LumiNode will now only listen to other sources in
the network. By default, the “Accept Own Data” is enabled.
RTTrPL:
The LumiNode process engine supports Real Time Tracking Proto-
col for Light, by Cast Software. As an example, the LumiNode can
be used to transition between a lighting console and a BlackTraX
tracking system, seamlessly. Tick the box to select RTTrPL as an in-
put protocol. Here you can add the universe number you wish to
use, and you can specify the IP address of the source.
If you leave the source IP field 0.0.0.0 any source in the network
outputting this universe will be used. The LumiNode process en-
gine will bound this input to the first source using this universe
number.
