Refresh Rate
The rate at which ODE will output the Data from DMX port
(40 Frames per second is default). It will repeat the last
received LAN frame to comply with DMX standard. How-
ever, if you do not want to repeat the last frame use
“fol-
low source”
as the refresh rate. This option will match the
rate at which the source sends at.
Merging Support
Merging option is only available when port is set to Out-
put. Any incoming DMX on the same universe, but from
different IP addresses is treated as a separate DMX
source.
Available Merging options:
•
Disabled: only one source should be sending to
the DMX output. Using multiple sources will
cause a conflict and the output might have unex-
pected data.
•
HTP Merge (by default): Highest Takes Prece-
dence. Channels are compared one to one and
the highest value is set on the output. Merging is
limited to two sources, any additional sources
will be ignored by ODE. If either one of the 2
sources of DMX stop, the failed source is held in
the merge buffer for 4 seconds. If, during the 4
second timeout, the failed source returns, Merg-
ing continues.
•
LTP Merge: Latest Takes Precedence. The latest
source is used as the output. The source that
hasn’t been received
for 4 seconds or more, will
be discarded.
•
Merging conflict: if more than two sources are
sending data to ODE on the same universe, ODE
will indicate a conflict. A warning will be dis-
played on the home-page, and i
t’s also indicated
by the status led blinking faster than normal.
NOTE:
•
2 or more sources sent from the same IP will
lead to flicker
•
Supports merging from 2 separate sources
only
Unicast option
Send DMX to a single IP address rather than broadcast.
Unicast is only available when port is set to Input. Any
valid IP address can be used to Unicast DMX.
