'Art-Net -> DMX 1' shows which Art-Net universe is assigned to the first
XLR port for output (DMX 1).
'Art-Net -> DMX 2' shows which Art-Net universe is assigned to the
second XLR port for output (DMX 2).
'DMX 1 -> Art-Net' shows which Art-Net universe is assigned to the first
XLR port for input (DMX 1).
'DMX 2 -> Art-Net' shows which Art-Net universe is assigned to the
second XLR port for input (DMX 2).
Please change the Universe according to your requirements or
deactivate the option by choosing 'Off'.
'Art-Net -> DMX 1' and 'Art-Net -> DMX 2' specify if incoming Art-Net
data is routed to the corresponding XLR port (DMX 1 or DMX 2) and
which Art-Net universe should function as source for each port. These
settings should be activated if you want to connect your MADRIX PC to
your PLEXUS device using network cables. In Live Mode, you would then
send data over the network to the PLEXUS and the PLEXUS outputs the
data to each XLR port, where your LED fixtures, LED controllers, or LED
drivers would be connected.
'DMX 1 -> Art-Net' and 'DMX 2 -> Art-Net' specify if the corresponding
XLR port is used for DMX-IN and if those incoming values should be
broadcasted to the Art-Net network and to which Art-Net universe it
should be sent. You can use this option to control the MADRIX software
remotely, for example. You would connect an external unit to the
PLEXUS to an XLR port (using DMX-IN) and send the incoming data over
network to the MADRIX PC (Art-Net Remote). The MADRIX PC could
receive these Art-Net Remote commands and the software can be
controlled remotely. For example, you could use a lighting console to
control individual faders of the software.
