MODE DEFINITION
The LumiCore series offer 7 different modes for each process engine:
FORWARD
In forward mode one input source is send to up to 3 outputs. You can output to a physical port on the
converter, forward to another Art-Net, sACN or KiNET universe, or any combination of the three.
Patch, Master/Limit and startup buffer options are available for this mode.
LTP MERGE
Latest Takes Precedence merging policy is commonly used to merge fixture channels. Up to 4 inputs (Art-
Net, sACN, KiNET, RTTrPL, Internal, Play or combination of) can be merged.
The output can be Art-Net, sACN, KiNET or any combination of the three.
Patch, Master/Limit and startup buffer options are available for this mode.
HTP MERGE
Highest Takes Precedence merging policy is commonly used to merge dimmer channels. Up to 4 inputs
(Art-Net, sACN, KiNET, RTTrPL, Internal, Play or combination of) can be merged.
The output can be Art-Net, sACN, KiNET or any combination of the three.
Patch, Master/Limit and startup buffer options are available for this mode.
BACKUP
In Backup mode, two inputs will be used which can be Art-Net, sACN, KiNET, RTTrPL, Internal or Play
where the first input has precedence over the second input. The output can be Art-Net, sACN, KiNET or any
combination of the three.
When input 1 fails the node will switch to input 2, automatically. Auto-recover is enabled by default.
Auto Recover:
When auto recovery is enabled the LumiCore will switch back to input one as soon as this is back
available in the network. In this case the warning for the missing backup control source can be ignored.
When auto recovery is disabled, you can configure which protocol is used to trigger the recovery, which
universe and which channel. This can be narrowed down to a specific IP address which will be the only
device able to control the backup recovery.
The red warning triangle is a warning that the process engine cannot be configured without a backup
control source. This is to indicate that the control source has not been configured yet for remote recovery.
As soon as the control source has been configured this triangle will disappear.
When the backup control option is used, the LumiCore will not restore to input one when this becomes
available in the network. To recover, a value between 8-15 (0-255) needs to be send on the control channel
to trigger the recovery.
Patch, Master/Limit and startup buffer options are available for this mode.
