• Hold Last Look: The output will continue to send the last look even if no updates are received.
A bullet point is shown next to the currently active setting. Use the encoder wheel to select the desired setting and
push [OK] to apply the setting.
Art-Net RDM
Under Art-Net RDM, RDM may be enabled or disabled for the output. RDM only works if the output port is running in
Art-Net mode. XND-8 discovers a maximum of 250 devices per output port.
Universe
To adjust the universe of output port X, navigate to Home > Menu > Outputs > Output X >
Universe. This screen can also be reached by pressing the corresponding output port button
(button [1] – button [8], see page 6).
This screen provides essential information about the DMX output and allows for changing its Art-Net or sACN
universe.
Use the encoder wheel for changing the universe of the given output port. Once the desired universe appears on the
screen, push OK to use this universe or press cancel to revert to the previously configured universe.
The screen looks slightly different whether the output port is in Art-Net or in sACN mode.
If no user input occurs while this screen is active for 20 seconds, the screen closes itself.
Art-Net Mode (Independent Universes Disabled)
This section describes the screen for editing the universe of an output port running in Art-Net mode when the
independent universes feature is disabled. See Independent Universes on page 10 for details about the independent
universes feature.
Please note that while the universe (large number on the right-hand side of the display) is being edited but has not
yet been stored, its background lights up and the number is displayed in its inverted colour about once every second.
If that is the case and you just want to see the configured universe number, simply press [Cancel].
On the left-hand side of the screen, the following information is displayed on four lines:
• The first line displays the output port status, which can be No DMX, Off, Hold or DMX OK:
o No DMX means that the port is enabled, but no DMX is being sent.
o Off means that the port is currently disabled.
o Hold means that the port is currently sending a look which has been received before, but no updates
have been received for at least 6 seconds.
o DMX OK is to let you know, that the port is sending DMX data and recent updates have been
received.
• The other lines display the Art-Net net, the Art-Net sub-net and the Art-Net sub-uni of the port.
The Art-Net sub-uni is computed from the sub-net and the universe of a port as 16 x sub-net + universe.
Some controllers address the Art-Net universe as a single number in the range of 0 to 255. Sub-uni
corresponds to that number.
Art-Net Mode (Independent Universes Enabled)
When independent universes are enabled, ports that are running in Art-Net mode display
only the output port status and the Art-Net port address (a number between 0 and 32767).
The output port status has the same meaning as when the independent universes feature is
disabled.
