ArtNET and Shownet Output Setup
ArtNet Basics
What is ArtNet
ArtNet is a protocol for transmitting the lighting control protocol DMX512 over Ethernet. It uses UDP for data
transmission. The protocol was developed by Artistic Licence Engineering (UK) Ltd and is open for implementation
without charge. It is typically implemented in ArtNet to DMX converters, often called "nodes", and being driven
from a lighting desk or similar software operating as a transmitter.
ArtNet compatible products are made available by dozens of companies, however not all ArtNet to DMX converter
units are built complying with the ArtNet specification.
IP Addresses
According to the specification units outputting and accepting ArtNet should be in a class A-Subnet (Subnet Mask
255.0.0.0) and using IP-Addresses in the range 2.xxx.xxx.xxx or 10.xxx.xxx.xxx, hence the consoles default IP-
Address of 10.0.0.1.
However, you may change the IP Address to your liking. The console will continue to output ArtNet, even if the IP is
dramatically different from what the ArtNet specification dictates.
Different Ways of Numbering Universes
The ArtNet Standard is very comprehensive, but unfortunately leaves one thing open: The way different ArtNet
Nodes represent their Universes. Table 4, “Numbering Universes - Values & Descriptions,” on page 133 shows
common values and descriptions.
