Polar 300 Hybrid IP65 Moving Head
Connecting to a Network
Art-Net Settings
01)
Install any Art-Net-based software on your PC (Windows or Mac) or use a light controller which
supports Art-Net.
02)
Connect the power supply to the Polar.
03)
Connect the device’s RJ45 connector to the RJ45 connector of the lighting controller/network
switch, using a CAT-5/CAT-6 cable.
04)
Set the IP address of your computer/light controller to 2.x.x.x or 10.x.x.x, depending on the Art-Net
settings. See 4.3. Network on page 28 for more information.
05)
Set the Subnet mask to 255.0.0.0. on all devices.
06)
Make sure that all fixtures in the network have a unique IP address.
07)
If you want to connect more fixtures, follow the example below.
Example:
01)
Make sure that each connected Polar has a unique IP address.
02)
Make sure that the subnet mask on each device is set to 255.0.0.0.
03)
Set the universe of the first Polar to 1.
04)
Set the first Polar’s DMX address to 001.
05)
Please note, that you can connect only 18 devices (18 x 28 channels = 504 channels needed). Due
to the channel limit of 512, you cannot connect the 19
th
device to the same data line, as it would
result in limited functionality of this device.
06)
In order to solve this problem, set the universe of the 19
th
Polar to 2 and its DMX address to 001.
07)
When connecting multiple devices, you can repeat steps 5 and 6 up to 255 times, each time
inserting ascending universe numbers (as there are 255 universes available).
08)
Map all connected devices.
09)
The connected Polars are now ready for use.
10)
When creating large setups, it is recommended to use a 16-bit, high speed Ethernet switch to
distribute the Art-Net data signal.
Art-Net is a protocol that uses TCP/IP to transfer large amount of DMX-512 data over an Ethernet network.
Art-Net 4 can support up to 32768 universes. Art-Net™ Designed by and Copyright Artistic Licence
Holdings Ltd.
sACN Settings
01)
Connect the device’s RJ45 connector to a network switch, using a CAT-5/CAT-6 cable.
02)
Set the IP address of your computer/lighting controller. sACN networks have no restrictions on the IP
address.
03)
Set the Subnet mask on all devices.
04)
Make sure that all fixtures in the network have a unique IP address.
sACN (streaming Architecture for Control Networks), also known as ANSI E1.31, is a protocol for sending
DMX-512 data over IP networks developed by ESTA (Entertainment Services and Technology Association).
It supports up to 63999 universes and uses multicasting.
