Daisy-Chain Support
STELLA features 2 separate Ethernet network ports. Either one is fully
functionally for IN and OUT and can be used for the data connection without
using a separate network switch or router. We recommend to connect a
maximum of 40 units after one another in a row, when using Art-Net in Unicast
Mode or Streaming ACN Multicast at a max. data rate of 50 FPS / 20 ms
without any additional devices in the network. In the MADRIX
®
Software, we
highly recommend to activate ArtSync for excellent image quality (see
page 13).
Remote Device Management (RDM)
In order to use it, call up the built-in web configuration (see above) and go to
‘DMX Output Settings’
à
‘Enable RDM’ for ports ‘DMX 1’ and/or ‘DMX 2’.
Make sure to disable RDM on the specific port, when using STELLA for DMX-IN.
How To Update The Firmware
It is highly recommended to update the firmware should a new firmware version
become available. You can update the device in different ways, for example:
Step 1) Connect MADRIX
®
STELLA to your computer over USB.
Step 2) Start the MADRIX
®
Software.
Step 3) In MADRIX
®
, go to ‘Tools...’
à
‘MADRIX Device Configuration...’.
A new window will open. Click on the search button (loupe icon) and
the software will search for connected devices. Select your device in
the list, click on the ‘Firmware’ button, and follow any instructions.
