Pixel mapping with multiple ArtNet Multi PixxControl
For systems with a pixel count of above the maximum from one
ArtNet Multi
PixxControl
it is necessary to use two or more
ArtNet Multi PixxControl
and divide
the pixels to the single
ArtNet Multi PixxControl
. In this case the Ethernet signal
must be distribute over Ethernet switches.

For a unique pixel mapping, it is necessary to configure each
ArtNet Multi PixxControl.
Based on this configuration on the one hand is the ArtNet specification
(Net / Subnet / port) and the other, the network specification (IP / Netmask).
A ArtNet Multi PixxControl has 16 ports capable of driving each 170 pixels. The ports
are assigned to the connected pixels as described above.
Each port gets a port number from 0 to 15.
If the port numbers 0 to 15 are assigned, the Subnet number must be increased. The
Subnet number again used the range of values 0 to 15.
After the Subnet number the Net number is incremented. For Net is a range of values
from 0 to 127 are available.
Furthermore, the network settings for the IP and the netmask must be made. ArtNet
provides that an IP range to be used 2.xxx or 10.xxx. In this case the netmask is
255.0.0.0 .
