CONFIGURING THE PIXEL DRIVER 400
Please see “Pixel Driver 400 main menu” on page 17 for general details about using the
rotary dial control.
TO CONFIGURE THE UNIT
1 Press and release the dial to enter the menu. The Art-Net Setting page will be shown first.
Note: The following steps can be carried out in any order.
2 Press and release the dial to unlock the

a Use the Net, Sub-Net and Universe options to align the eight ports of the Pixel Driver
400 with the required consecutive universes being output by the controlling Art-Net
device.
•
Net
a value between 0 and 127
•
Sub-Net
a value between 0 and 15
•
Universe
a value between 0 and 15
Using these three addresses in combination it is possible to choose from 32,768
separate universes. The address that you chose here will define the first of eight
consecutive universes being output by the controlling device. When valid universes are
detected, they will be applied in sequence to the eight SPI output ports. The standby
screen (see page 9) will indicate which universes are being successfully received
and passed through - an ‘
x
’ signifies that a universe is not being applied to an SPI
output.
b If necessary, change the Poll option.
The correct setting of the Poll option relates to the use of controlling devices such as
the Pharos system. If the Pharos system is outputting 32 universes or fewer, the Pixel
Driver 400 Poll option should be set to
Yes
. If the Pharos system is outputting more
than 32 universes, the Pixel Driver 400 Poll option should be set to
No
.
