• DMX configuration
Every DMX outlet can be configured separately as input or output. These
inputs and outputs get a DMX line address on ArtNet. It is possible to
distribute 256 different DMX lines over ArtNet.
The Ethernet – DMX8 / WiFi runs 2 ArtNet Nodes with outlet 1 to 4 on
Node 1 and outlet 5 to 8 on Node 2. Some settings of the DMX outlets are
dependent on the Node setting.
The DMX line address (Universe) on ArtNet is a combination of the outlet's
Subnet and Subswitch. The Subnet divides the possible range of 256
addresses in groups of 16 addresses. Every outlet has one Subnet setting
(from 0x0 – 0xF, 0- 15). And every outlet has a separate Subswitch (from
0x0 – 0xF, 0 – 15). Combined this gives the following result.
The Subnet is the high nibble of the complete address and the Subswitch
is the low nibble of the address.
Outlet 1:
Subnet: 0x2
Outlet 1-> Subswitch: 0xC
Result address: 0x2C
In decimal this would be:
Result = (Subnet x 16) + Subswitch
Result address = (2 x 16 ) + 12 = 44
Happily, if you're not used to work on hexadecimal values, the node allows
you to set you outlet DMX line in decimal value. The corresponding
hexadecimal value will be displayed in brackets.
