ArtNet
Control Device - Use ArtNet Device as controller
An ArtNet Control Device allows sending or receiving DMX messages over the network via the Art-Net protocol (DMX over Ethernet).
When using fixtures, adding a ‘unicast’ output will increase your performance over broadcasting on all networks.
For a Panasonic VP, you need to use unicast without partial packet.
Variables:
- Identifier: Identifies the Art-Net device
- Receive: Activate Art-Net packet reception
- Local Input: Local network address of the socket device identifier reception
- Reuse Local Port: Allows local reception port reusing to let multiple software’s listening to it
- Send: Activates Art-Net packet emission
- Remote Output: Remote network address of the socket device identifier emission
- Broadcast: Toggles emission broadcast mode (needs special broadcast IP like 255.255.255.255 or subnet broadcast like 10.255.255.255)
- Filter: Filter the input messages according to subnet and universe range to avoid flooding
- Min Ip: Min client IPv4 address of the universe filter
- Max Ip: Max client IPv4 address of the universe filter
- Min Port: Min client UDP Port of the universe filter
- Max Port: Max client UDP Port of the universe filter
- Min Universe: Minimum universe value to accept
- Max Universe: Maximum universe value to accept
- Local Start: Custom Offset applied on the Art-Net channels
- Half Frame Rate: divise by 2, based on the frame rate of SMODE, the packet that are sent out of the device
- Send Sync Packed: Synchronizes the display of the previous DMX message through the different devices. May create latency with old materials.
- Allow Partial DMXPacket: Allows partial DMX packets
- Unicast Outputs: Allows you to send DMX message through specific Network/Universe/channels. Overwrite the filter
