ETC Cobalt Family v7.0.0 - Manual (Page 164)

sACN (streaming ACN) - Enables the industry-standard DMX-over-Ethernet protocol, also known as
ANSI E1.31. Enable this protocol if you are using devices, nodes or DMX Gateways receiving
Streaming ACN (E1.31)
• sACN Priority - The sACN priority of this Cobalt system.
An sACN source can have a priority of 200-1, with 200 being the highest and 1 being the
lowest priority. The priority is used by devices to determine the final output if there are
multiple sACN sources on the network (for example Cobalt and Unison Paradigm). Sources
with the same priority share on an HTP basis. If there are different priorities, the highest
priority source will "win". Default is 100
sACN Version - Most sACN equipment is compatible with the Released version.
The Draft version is included for older network equipment that can only communicate using
the early Draft version of sACN.
Default is Release version
.
Net2 - EDMX - Activate if you are using any ETCNet2 nodes. The system name that is exposed on
Net2 is “Cobalt “ + the system name.
• Priority - The EDMX priority of this Cobalt system. An ETCNet2 source can have a priority
of 1-20 with 1 as the highest and 20 as the lowest. The priority is used by devices to
determine the final output if there are multiple EDMX sources on the network (for example
Cobalt and Unison). Sources with the same priority share on an HTP basis. If there are
different priorities, the highest priority will "win".
See ETCNet2 documentation. Default is 10.
Server/Backup Use Same Priority
This setting inhibits the Cobalt Backup unit from activating at a higher priority than the
server. Normally, the backup will activate at a higher priority to ensure that the system is
being controlled by only one server. In some systems, however, control is shared by the
Cobalt server and other consoles or architectural lighting control in such a way that having
the backup jump a priority can cause unexpected behavior of the system. In those systems, it
may be desired to force the backup to activate at the same priority as the server.
Art-Net - This enables Art-Net output data from this desk. Enable this protocol if you are using
devices or nodes receiving Art-Net.
ArtNet Broadcast Type
• Directed Broadcast - Broadcast packets are directed to the console subnet based on the IP
address and subnet mask of the sender. Eg the console default IP 10.101.84.101, subnet
255.255.0.0 would give a Directed Broadcast address of 10.101.255.255.
• Limited Broadcast - The limited broadcast address is 255.255.255.255
Routers will never forward limited broadcast datagrams, so these are confined to the
particular network segment on which they originate.
• Primary Art-Net - 2.255.255.255 (As per the Art-Net protocol specification)
• Secondary Art-Net - 10.255.255.255 (As per the Art-Net protocol specification)
