Disabling Art-Net before configuring it ensures Christie Griffyn Series does not accidentally
respond to DMX messages destined for other devices on the network.
3. To specify which subnet the projector belongs to, in the Art-Net Subnet field adjust the value
between 0 and 15.
The subnet provides expandability beyond the universe level.
4. To confirm your selection, select Enter.
5. To specify which universe the projector belongs to, so it can filter out all other data packets, in
the Art-Net Universe field, adjust the value between 0 and 15.
For Art-Net, data is broadcast over an Ethernet network, so every device receives every packet
of data, whether the device belongs to that universe or not.
6. To confirm your selection, select Enter.
7. To determine the starting channel for this projector, in the Base Channel field, adjust the value
between 1 and 488.
If multiple projectors are used on the same universe and are to be controlled independently,
this value must be changed. For example, if both projectors are using the Shutter (20
channels), projector 1 should start at base channel 1 and projector 2 should start at base
channel 21.
8. To confirm your selection, select Enter.
9. Select Enable Art-Net.
10. To enable the Art-Net functionality, select Enter.
Art-Net channel listing
There are 512 channels per universe. Christie Griffyn Series specifies 24 channels.
Christie Griffyn Series has multiple methods of being controlled in addition to Art-Net. If a setting is
changed through another interface, the DMX controller can re-assert control by changing the value on
the appropriate DMX channel.
