DMX Output A is an HTP merger of 
interface DMX data and the DMX 
data coming in on input line B 
 

The DMX Output is connected 
to the interface input 
 

DMX-B Must be turned into

In the software’s standalone window, select: 

“DMX 1 OUT / DMX 2 IN”

 

and confirm the merge option

 

 

NODE SETTING AND CONFIGURATION 

 
The interface can be used as a NODE.  It will be detected on the Art-Net network and DMX universes can be assigned to its 
DMX outputs. 
When the interface is in Stand Alone mode, the F3 function allows access to the NODE mode. 
Once in NODE mode, the interface displays (No) and it is now visible on the Art-Net network. 
 

NODE configuration from software 

 
It is possible to configure the NODE from the software. 
Go to the "Tools" and "Options" menu and select the "Device" tab. 
In the "Ethernet" tab, in addition to the Network Configuration, the Node section allows you to configure your node. 
  

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

DMX MERGE CONFIGURATION 

 
One DMX port must be turned into an input to capture the DMX signal provided by another DMX source. 
The interface will merge the incoming signal with its own output signal by comparing the DMX levels with an HTP filter 
(priority on the highest levels of the signals). Merging is a solution to keep manual control of channels when using a DMX 
board, 

for example. It’s also a 

method to create a multi-zone system by merging several interfaces on one final DMX line. In 

this last case, each interface can play a scene dedicated to the fixtures at the same time and on the same DMX line.
