The primary and secondary universes can be set to either Art-Net of sACN (streaming ACN, both
Draft R2 and Release R3 are supported)
Select the primary or secondary and press the encoder to change it. The universe edit screen
appears
Here you can change the universe type (Art-Net, sACN or disabled)
for Art-Net you can set the Subnet and Id
for sACN you can set the universe and the range.
the range is to easily go to higher number of universes in steps of 100 up to 65000
The Resend option can be used to send the merged signal onto the network again as a new
universe. This will help if you need to make a merge of 3 universes for example.
The Rate option can be used to set it to either
Sync, the DMX output is synchronized to the universe data on the network. This is the
fastest (lowest latency) setting. Note some equipment might not work with it nicely.
Fixed rate (40fps/33fps/25fps), use this setting if the sync mode doesn't work
Safe mode, this mode has a long break and mab. To be used it none of the above
settings work
The Hold option, by default to DMX port will send it's last value for always when it doesn't get
new data from the network. This setting can be changed to timeout.
DMX port as input
When a port is set up as a DMX input, it can be operation in the following modes.
•disabled the DMX input does nothing
•normal any valid DMX is sent onto the network (and internal use) using the selected
universe (ArtNet)
•backup the DMX input will not send data if the selected universe is present on the
network. If the selected universe is not present on the network for several seconds and
the input has valid DMX, then it will send DMX data. If another sender starts sending the
same universe, the input will go back input backup mode.
Set ID
And ID can be assigned to the unit, if using it with dmXLAN software. The ID can be use full when
doing a preprogramming of the network.
Use the encoder in “Select” and “Edit” mode to change the 3 digits of the ID The digits are in
hexadecimal (16 possibilities 0-9, A-F). This means you can have up to 4095 different ID’s in the
system (ID 000 means that the ID is not used ---).
