sACN
Control Device - Use sACN Device as a controller
sACN is a protocol for sending DMX messages. Unlike ArtNet , it uses multicast logic, sending each data packet directly to the destination device.
Unlike the ArtNet protocol, sACN does not rely on sub-network logic and allows for the creation of up to 64,000 universes.
When outputting data you need at the creation of the device to set the first Universe and Last universe, this will define the range of universes that are sent, other universe will be discarded by SMODE.
Variables:
- Identifier: Identifies the sAcn 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 sACN 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: Synchronise the display of the previous DMX messages among the different devices. May create latency with old materials.
- Allow Partial DMXPacket: Allow partial DMX packets
- Unicast Outputs: Lets you send DMX messages through specific Network/Universe/channels. Overwrites the filter.
