Signal Merging
The Net-X is capable of merging two signals of the same protocol into one, using HTP
(Highest Takes Precedence) or LTP (Latest Takes Precedence) logic.
In HTP logic, only the highest value of any function or channel will be included in the merged
signal. If signal A has a value of 100 on channel 2, but signal B has a value of 200 on
channel 2, the merged signal will have a value of 200 on channel 2.
In LTP logic, only the most recently changed value of any function or channel will be included
in the merged signal. If signal A has had a value of 255 on channel 1, and signal B changes
to a value of 075 on channel 1, the merged signal will reflect the change. Whichever value is
the latest change will always be in the merged signal.
To configure signal merging, follow the instructions below:
1. Press
<MENU>
repeatedly until
Net Mode
(for ethernet signal merging) or
DMX Mode
(for
DMX signal merging) shows on the display.
2. Press
<ENTER>
.
3. Use
<UP>
or
<DOWN>
to select
HTP
(Highest Takes Precedence),
LTP
(Lowest Takes
Precedence), or
OFF
(to disable signal merging).
4. Press
<ENTER>
.
•
The Net-X can only merge signals from up to two controllers at a time.
•
The Net-X cannot merge two signals of different protocols.
•
Ethernet signals must be in the same universe in order to merge.
•
sACN signals must be the same priority in order to merge.
Indicators
The three LED indicator lights on the front of the Net-X, next to the menu display, indicate
when there is power, DMX, or ethernet. The table below shows the behavior of the lights and
what it means.
Indicator
Behavior
Meaning
POWER
Solid red
Power is getting to the Net-X
Off
Power is not getting to the Net-X
SIGNAL
Blinks rapidly in red
Ethernet signal is getting to the Net-X
Blinks slowly
Ethernet signal is not getting to the Net-X
DMX
Blinks rapidly in red
DMX signal is getting to the Net-X
Blinks slowly
DMX signal is not getting to the Net-X
While Net-X is powered on, the Signal and DMX indicator lights will blink slowly when
nothing is plugged into their ports. These indicator lights will blink rapidly after cable
connections are made and the ethernet and DMX signals are being received by Net-X.
