WEBPAGE INTERFACE

After all connections and setup on the computer are completed, open your favorite web browser (we

recommend Firefox) and enter the IP address you want to reach in the URL field: Http://2.x.x.x or the address

set by the DHCP server. The IP-address is indicated on the Display of the node.

The homepage of the BT-NODE24 Mk2 opens. This page has a complete overview of the DMX port settings.

Note1: press the small question mark buttons to get more information about a parameter.

Note2: the web page can be opened simultaneously on 1 or up to 2 different PCs.

The TOP of the screen contains 4 parts:

1. NAME (label) Tab: easy to identify a node when several devices are in the same installation. See point

(K) to know how to change the name / label of the nodes.

2. DMX PORTS Tab: used to configure all port settings.

A. Visual representation of the 4 I/O ports.

B. Port direction: Input, output or off.

•Input: Port used to inject DMX-in the port (male/male XLR-adapter needed)

•Output: port sends DMX-signals to the connected devices.

•Off: port not used

C. Protocol: Art-Net or sACN.

D. Port mode:

PORT DIRECTION = OUTPUT: the following modes are available:

•SINGLE: the DMX-signal is sent to the DMX Port from the selected Art-Net or sACN universe

in “Universe Number”.

•HTP: The DMX-signal is sent to the DMX Port from the IP merging of the selected Art-Net

universe in “Universe Number”. The BT-NODE24 Mk2 compares the values on the inputs and

sends the highest value to the DMX Port for each DMX channel.

ENGLISH USER MANUAL

BRITEQ®7/10 BT-NODE24 Mk2

•LTP: The DMX-signal is sent to the DMX Port from the merging of the selected Art-Net universe

in “Universe Number”. The BT-NODE24 Mk2 compares the values on the inputs and sends the

last changed value to the DMX Port for each DMX channel.

•ZERO: The BT-NODE24 Mk2 sends “0” to all channels.

PORT DIRECTION = INPUT: the following modes are available:

•NORMAL: the DMX Port receives the DMX-signal and sends it to the selected Art-Net or sACN

universe in the “Universe Number” section.

E. Frame Rate: When the port direction is set to output you can define the number of DMX frames sent

per second. The default setting is: 40 frames/second. But you can also select: 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 or

35 frames/second.

F. Universe Number: The used universe. Note. on some consoles like MA the universe 0 on this device

correspondents to the universe 1 on the MA.

G. RDM filter: turn RDM on or off.

H. No DMX behavior: when no new DMX-signal is available for 4s, the output can be set to Freeze or

Blackout.

Note: Use Blackout if effects like flamethrowers are connected.

3. PRESETS Tab:used to load, create presets

I. STANDARD Presets: to make life easier, 6 standard presets that are often used.

These are the most common factory standard presets in the node:

1. Art-Net to DMX universe 1-4: convert universe 1-4 from Art-Net to DMX.

2. Art-Net to DMX universe 5-8: convert universe 5-8 from Art-Net to DMX.

3. DMX to Art-Net universe 1-4: convert universe 1-4 from DMX to Art-Net.

4. DMX to Art-Net universe 5-8: convert universe 5-8 from DMX to Art-Net.

5. DMX splitter: Use port 1 as a DMX input and ports 2 to 4 as DMX output.

6. Art-Net clone: Convert 2 DMX inputs (port 1 and 2) into 2 separated Art-Net

outputs and duplicate them on ports 3 and 4.

J. CUSTOM Presets: the user can make and store up to 4 additional presets.

Loading presets: select / highlight the desired preset and press the “LOAD” button on the bottom.

Create a preset:

•First make the desired settings for all ports in the “DMX ports” Tab.

•When ready: Press the “CREATE” button and give the preset a name: the preset will be saved

and loaded, ready to be used.

4. SYSTEM Tab:used to adjust the general settings and perform firmware updates.

K. Name / Label: used to give the node a unique name so you can easily identify it on a network.

L. Network settings:

•DHCP:

•ON: the node receives its IP-setting from the DHCP-server on the network.

•OFF: the node uses a fixed address that can be set by the user. Make sure to choose a

unique IP-address to avoid problems.

•DHCP Search Time: used to determine how long the node should wait for a DHCP-server to

attribute an IP-address. When no DHCP-server is found, the node uses a static IP-address. The

standard waiting time is 30s.

•IP / Mask / Gateway: used to setup the static IP-address.

•Network Speeds: standard the node uses 1Gbit speed. You can Force the connection to

100Mbit if some devices on the network don’t support gigabit ethernet or you encounter

connection problems.

M. Front Panel: used to adjust the behavior of the display and LED-indicators:

•Blackout:

•ON: both the display and the LED-indicators are switched off to make sure that the node is

not visible in the truss on a stage. The display lights up when the ▲/▼-buttons are used

but goes dark again after a short time.

•OFF: the display and all indicators light up. The display goes dark while not used for a

while.

•Locate: to determine the physical location of the node in the installation, you can activate the

Locate function. The node's screen starts flashing so you can see where it is located.
