ETCNet2
Emphasis is an ETCNet2 native product. ETCNet2 protocols are used to transfer data from
the Emphasis Server to the Facepanel, as well as to any DMX Nodes and/or Video Nodes
within your system.
In an ETCNet2 system, ownership of EDMX values is determined by a hierarchy of priority
values. The rules for this hierarchy are listed below and are relevant to multiple-console
systems, and systems integrated with ETCNet2 Nodes and Unison Architectural Control.
If you are upgrading your system from a previous version of software, you may see an
advisory indicating that you have multiple versions of ETCNet2 on your network. Though
you can run your system this way, you should upgrade your ETCNet2 devices and
Facepanel as soon as possible. To update your Facepanel, simply load the Emphasis
v1.4.0 Facepanel software (see Installing Facepanel Software, page 11 ).
EDMX Basics (ETCNet2 v4.0.0 and above)
The following points describe the way things are, or the way things need to be to have a
valid network setup.
t
• There are 22 discreet priority settings within EDMX. The lowest number will always be
the highest priority.
• Unison with a zone’s Input Mode set to Replace is equal to priority zero (0).
• DMX Node input ports and Emphasis have a modifiable priority of 1 through 20.
• Unison with a zone’s Input Mode set to Pass-thru-if-Active is equal to priority 21.
• All devices (ETCNet2 nodes, Emphasis components and so on) must have unique IP
addresses on the network.
• Emphasis and Obsession II systems must have unique System IDs on the network.
This only applies if you have multiple control systems on the same network.
• ETCNet2 nodes don’t have System IDs, they are considered to have an ID of zero (0).
• Zero is lower than one.
Arbitration. Who has control?
The following points describe “who wins”.
• The lowest priority value has the highest priority. (1 has a higher priority than 2)
• If multiple devices have the same priority, control is determined by Highest-Takes-
Precedence at the channel level.
