Important:
All session members have to have the same streaming version of the software.
To use network protocols such as sACN and / or Art-Net, a session has to be started first. Furthermore, all
protocols are sent by the session Master.
Important:
Two stations in Master with the same session ID will always cause a session collision. For more
information see Session Collision.
The session status is displayed in the message center. For more information see Status and Messages.
The session system allows greater flexibility with regards to backup and redundancy.
Press Setup and then the Sessions button. This opens the Network Setup view. This view is separated into
two parts. The top part shows if your console or onPC is currently in a network session or not.
If the button on the right side displays Start a new or join an existing session , then press it to see the 4 different
sessions. If there are devices using one of the sessions, then the session button will have the session name and
will display Join Session . If there is no session running, then choose one of the sessions and begin a new
session. Now you can add more devices to your session.
If the button in the top part displays Stop/Leave session , then the console is already connected to a session
and you can add more devices to your session.
The lower part of the Network Setup view shows the devices in your session. They are separated into each type of
device. If you have devices in your network and they are in your session, then they have a green background
color. The device you are currently looking at will have a brighter green background color. If you are missing a
device that previously has been in your session, then it gets a red background color. You can see the
IPv6 address, name and version number of the connected devices.
A device with a red text in the version number is a device that does not have the same version as you do.
You can tap the Add button to see all the unconnected devices in your network. Here you can select the device
you want to add to your session. When you choose one, then it will be connected to your session and it will get
the show file that the session is running. If there are no devices in the Select a Station view, then the console
cannot see the device in the network. However, if you expect to see a device, then check your network cables and
power first.
If you have connected a console with an onPC, then you have full control of 4096 DMX channels. The onPC
functions as a backup for your console. So if your console stops working for some reason (could be if the power
disappears), then your onPC will take over and you can still control 4096 DMX channels. The DMX output of the
console does not work if the console does not work. So you can add dot2 Node4 (1K)s to your network. This
