DMX Routing
To better understand the use of all features, let's define each category of
this menu:
Direction
: Set the direction you need to the outlet, either Input or
Output. Depending your selection, some features won't be available in the
other categories.
Universe
: Select the universe number. The left column number
represents the decimal value, the right column number the Hexadecimal
one. Setting the universe number through Web interface avoids the user
to set Subnet and subswitch settings separately.
Mode
: According to the direction you set on the outlet, this menu offers
several mode :
Input :
Disabled : Outlet is disabled, better for node performance.
Normal : Outlet set as normal input
Merge : Allow to merge 2 DMX streams.
When an odd outlet is configured as a merged input (1,3,5,7), the
corresponding outlet (2,4,6,8) will be automatically set as input as well.
Output :
Disabled : Outlet is disabled, better for node performance.
Zero : Send all channels with a zero value (for maintenance
only)
Single: Normal output.
IP Merging
: This special feature allows you to merge 2 different DMX or
Artnet streams through the network. The merging policy will be mainly
applied on the DMX Output, except for IP backup.
Legend
: Set a legend to the outlet, useful to remind yourself what's
connected to that outlet.
Unicast
: Artnet is a broadcast protocol, which means that each packet
sent from a single source will be received by all actives equipment on the
network. Unicast provides you to cast you data to a selected IP address,
resulting in a lower use of bandwidth.
All setting that are not applicable for the actual setting will be grayed out
or marked as N/A (Not Applicable).
