PROTOCOL SETUP
Set up lighting protocol information intended for the Node 1x6. All settings changed in this page are only applied
after selecting the SET button at the bottom right of the screen.
PROTOCOL SELECT
—
Choose between Art-Net, sACN or Art-Net+sACN. Protocols are changed with a
dropdown menu, which applies to all ports of the node.
EASY PRIORITY
—
Activating Easy Priority is useful for sharing a rig between multiple consoles. When two or
more of the same Art-Net/ sACN universes from different sources try to send DMX to a Node 1x6 output port, the
source with the higher channel 512 value for that universe will assume control over it. Using simple submasters
with channel 512 recorded to full, one console can take over control of a universe from another without any form
of complex HTP/LTP merging in the system. EASY PRIORITY is enabled with a dropdown menu.
ACTION ON SOURCE LOSS
—
Determines what will happen if the Node 1x6 loses its source of Art-Net or
sACN. Action is selected with a dropdown menu, and any timing is specified with the entry field.
HOLD OUTPUT: holds the last DMX values the Node 1x6 received
BLACKOUT AFTER: takes all DMX channels to 0% after a set amount of time
DISABLE OUTPUT AFTER: disables the DMX output altogether after a set amount of time
DMX OUT REFRESH RATE
—
Changes the DMX out refresh rate between 20Hz, 30Hz, 40Hz, and Adaptive.
Adaptive mode (High Speed Video Adaptive Mode), is best used when a media server or lighting console is
sending DMX over Ethernet at a higher rate than typical, for the purposes of having DMX Fixtures (LEDs) behave
like low-resolution video. Note: Some devices may not work with this setting.
