DMX port as input 
 

When a port is set up as a DMX input it can operate in the following modes; 

 

Disabled 

 the DMX input does nothing 

 

Normal 

 any valid DMX is sent onto the network (and internal use) using 

the selected universe (Art-Net) 

o

 

LED indicator setting: 

fixed color / universe color / DMX RGB 

o

 

Universe: 

 

 

Art-Net / sACN / ShowNet 

 

Backup 

 the DMX input will not send data if the selected universe is 

present on the network. If the selected universe is not present on the network for 
several seconds and the input has valid DMX, then it will send DMX data. 
If another sender starts sending the same universe, the input will go back into 
backup mode.

DMX port as output 
 

When a port is set up as a DMX output it can operate in the following modes;

 

 

Disabled 

 the DMX output is disabled   

 

Out Zero 

 the DMX sends out a DMX test signal with all channels at 0%   

 

Single   

 the output sends out the DMX values of the selected (primary) 

Art-Net universe. The DMX output is enabled the first time it detects the DMX 
universe on the network (or internal DMX inputs). If the universe on the network 
fails, the DMX output will go into DMX hold.   

 

HTP   

 highest takes precedence   

 

Priority   

 as long as the primary universe is active, it will be on the output 

 

otherwise the secondary universe is sent on the output 

 

Flexpatch 

 setting used when programmed via dmXLAN software 

 
The primary, secondary and tertiary universes can be set to either Art-Net, sACN or 
ShowNet. 
The Resend option can be used to send the merged signal onto the network again as a 
new universe. This is helpful when 

 for example 

 3 universes need to be merged 

together.
