The following example shows an LX console where Universe A is connected to Artnet, DMX
Output 1 and DMX Output 3. Universe B is connected to DMX Output 2.
11.13 ARTNET OUTPUTS
ArtNet is a streaming protocol to transport multiple DMX universes over a single cat 5 Ethernet
cable/network. Selecting ArtNet (above) will take you to a configuration dialog specific for that
connection type. ArtNet supports 256 DMX universes. These are arranged in 16 sub-nets each
containing 16 universes
Select the required ArtNet Subnet and ArtNet Universe for this output then click OK.
Note: The current setup is that ArtNet is only sent via one Ethernet port at a time. This is due
to issues where ArtNet floods a network and makes using other devices (e.g. TouchOSC remote
control) very slow and unresponsive. Ethernet 1 has highest priority, so if there is anything
connected to Ethernet 1, ArtNet gets sent via this port. If nothing is connected to Ethernet 1
then Art-Net will be sent to whatever is connected to Ethernet 2. This provides an automatic
failsafe. If you connect both ports to your network and Ethernet 1 fails, the system will
automatically start transmitting on Ethernet 2.
11.14 SACN OUTPUTS
Streaming ACN (sACN) is an informal name for the E1.31 streaming protocol to transport
multiple DMX universes over a single cat 5 Ethernet cable/network. Selecting sACN (above) will
take you to a configuration dialog specific for that connection type.
sACN supports a priority setting that is designed for backup solutions. Valid priority settings
range from 0 to 200 with higher numbers representing higher priority. The default setting is
100. Data will always be received from the device with the highest priority.
