channels at a given xDMX source address, a universe is automatically created
for those channels, saving a great deal of time.
What about merging and prioritizing?
Pathport universes can be created using a priority system that allows up to 8
xDMX channels to be patched to a single DMX output channel. Each xDMX
channel patched to an output channel has a priority level associated with it that
tells the Pathport how to handle each channel. If two or more channels have an
equal priority, they will be HTP merged. If the priorities are not equal, the active
xDMX channel with highest priority will be processed and sent as DMX.
Configuration?
Pathport Manager is aware of all Pathport nodes and Pathport Alliance devices
on the system. Pathport Manager knows all there is to know about Pathports,
and allows you to change a vast number of configuration options. Changing
these parameters has all been grouped in the Pathport Properties box.
Everything from advanced IP parameters to DMX output port speed can be
configured from there.
