Left node configuration
In this example (left node of Illustration 2), the selected mode is “ Merge ”.
The second outlet will automatically be set as a merged input. You will not
be able to configure a universe address for the second outlet, as the
merged result will end at the universe address of the first outlet (primary
input). Instead of universe you will be able to set the starting DMX
channel address (1-512). This indicates from which channel address the
second input has to be merged in. This offset is only available when using
HTP or LTP policies. Those rules will be applied on all channel of the
whole universe.
If you choose “
Backup ”, a small blue icon will appears on the left side of
“Outlet 2” label; then click on it, a pop up frame appears :
This menu lets you choose the backup time (from 400 to 9999ms). This
time represents the delay from which the node will automatically switch to
the backup outlet when invalid or no DMX is received anymore on the
primary outlet.
Tick the box if you want the node to auto-recover as soon as valid data is
available again on primary connector.
If you tick off the box, you will have to enable the trigger universe and
select a recover channel (page 27).
If you choose “
Custom ” policy, a small blue icon will also appear on the
left side of “Outlet 2” label; then click on it, a new pop up frame appears :
