Protocols
Kling-Net is a network protocol that uses TCP/IP to send DMX over a network and into the
Neutrik® etherCON® connection ports of the Nexus™ 4x1 panels. Kling-Net works
seamlessly with ArKaos MediaMaster™ for configuring and mapping display devices. For
more information, see
Kling-Net .
Kling-Net requires a gigabit (1000 Mbps) Ethernet card and network router.
Art-Net™ is an Ethernet protocol that uses TCP/IP to send DMX signals over a network and
into the etherCON® connection ports of the Nexus™ 4x1 panels. Art-Net™ requires
configuration through the control panel. For more information, see
Art-Net™ .
For more information about Art-Net™, see the Art-Net™ protocol document available on the
Chauvet website at
www.chauvetlighting.com .
Nexus™ 4x1 panels do not work with Art-Net™ controllers sending in Broadcast mode. For
information about the controller’s mode, see the controller’s User Manual
The Nexus™ 4x1 automatically senses whether control is coming from a DMX source, or a
Network source. When there is an etherCON® cable plug into it, the Nexus™ 4x1 expects a
TCP/IP protocol, such as Art-Net™ or Kling-Net, depending on the setting in the control panel.
If there is a DMX cable plugged into it, the Nexus™ 4x1 expects a DMX controller or
Master/Slave control, depending on the settings in the control panel.
The Nexus™ 4x1 can receive control from only one set of ports, either the DMX ports or the
etherCON® ports. The Nexus™ 4x1 senses which ports are used on power-up, so the panel
cannot be changed from DMX to TCP/IP, or from TCP/IP to DMX while it is turned on.
To switch from one set of ports to another (one control type to another), unplug the Nexus™
4x1 panel, switch the cables, and then plug the panel in again.
A DMX personality must be set for all modes, DMX, Art-Net™, or Kling-Net. For more
information, see
DMX Channel .
Kling-Net has no settings to configure, but it must be selected through the control panel. For
more information, see
Kling-Net .
Art-Net™ has a number of settings that must be configured through the control panel. For
more information, see
Art-Net™ .
