White-PIX
Connecting to a Network
KlingNet settings
01)
Install any KlingNet-based software on your PC (Windows or Mac), for example
Master.
02)
Connect the power supply to the White-PIX.
03)
Make sure that your PC has a
fixed IP Address
. The White-PIX requires no further network setting
adjustments.
04)
Connect the White-PIX with a CAT-5/CAT-6 cable (see page 12) to your computer.
Once you have connected the fixtures, they will automatically be recognized by the software.
05)
Map the devices, using the “drag-and-drop” method, by placing the fixtures in “on-screen”
interface in the right position. It only requires a few minutes and, once it is done, the system is
completely set up.
06)
When creating large setups, it is recommended to use a 16-bit, high speed ethernet switch to
distribute the KlingNet data signal.
ArtNet settings
01)
Install any ArtNet-based software on your PC (Windows or Mac).
02)
Connect the power supply to the White-PIX.
03)
Connect the device’s Ethernet connector to your software/light controller’s Ethernet connector,
using a CAT-5/CAT-6 cable.
04)
Set the IP address of your software/light controller to
2.x.x.x
or
10.x.x.x
, depending on the ArtNet
settings.
05)
Set the subnet mask to
255.0.0.0
. on both – the White-PIX and your software/light controller. Make
sure that all the fixtures in the network have a
unique IP address
.
06)
If you want to connect more than one fixture, follow the example below.
Example: The White-PIX, 25-channel mode.
01)
Make sure that each connected White-PIX 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 White-PIX to
1
.
04)
Set the first PIX device’s DMX address to
001
.
05)
Due to the fact, that the White-PIX has 25 DMX channels, set the DMX starting address of the second
White-PIX to
26
, third –
51
, etc.
06)
Once you have reached the limit of 512 DMX addresses, set the universe of the next White-PIX to
2
. In
this way, you again have 512 DMX channels to work with and you are able to connect many more
devices.
07)
When connecting multiple PIX devices, you can repeat steps 3-6 up to 15 times, each time inserting
ascending universe numbers (as there are 15 universes available).
08)
If you want to connect even more devices, set the net value of the next PIX device to
2
.
09)
Repeat steps 3-7 until you reach the net limit (each separate net is equipped with 15 universes. There
are 15 nets in total. The number of nets depends on the software which you use).
10)
Using your software (for example
- Arkaos Media Master Express), map all the connected
devices, using the settings described above.
11)
The PIX devices are now ready for use.
12)
When creating large setups, it is recommended to use a 16-bit, high speed ethernet switch to
distribute the ArtNet data signal.
