MADRIX STELLA User Manual
MADRIX STELLA automatically switches to input when receiving data [DMX-IN]. Since this happens
automatically, there is no need and no option to manually switch from output to input.

Output
This section shows the network settings when using the DMX ports for output [DMX 1
and DMX 2].
Confirm with Set
Assigned Network Universe - Defines the universe on which data is sent.
§
By default, universe 1 and 2 assigned to DMX 1 and DMX 2.
§
If you are broadcasting data for a large number of Universes [using Broadcast
Mode instead of using Unicast Mode] with MADRIX 5 or a 3rd-party controller for
example, you can assign different DMX universes to each STELLA device with
these settings. Each MADRIX STELLA will then only receive data from the specific
Art-Net universe and send it to its specified output port.
Example: You can set up that STELLA #1 only listens to Art-Net universe 1 and 2,
while STELLA #2 listens to Art-Net universe 3 and 4, and STELLA #3 listens to
Art-Net universe 5 and 6, and so on.
§
Universes are shown in hexadecimal notation and Art-Net Net switch / sub-net
switch notation in the Network Universe tooltips.
