Pixel Controller
Connecting to a Network
Art-Net Settings
01)
Connect the device’s RJ45 connector to the RJ45 connector of the light controller/computer, using
a CAT-5/CAT-6 cable.
02) Set the IP address of your computer/light controller to 2.x.x.x or 10.x.x.x, depending on the Art-Net
settings.
03) Set the Net Mask to 255.0.0.0. on all devices.
04) Make sure that all fixtures in the network have a unique IP address.
05) If you want to connect more fixtures, follow the example below.
Note: When creating large setups, it is recommended to use a 16-bit, high speed Ethernet switch to
distribute the Art-Net data signal.
Example settings:
If you want to connect multiple Pixel Controllers using Art-Net protocol, proceed as follows:
01)
Set the DMX starting address of the 1
st
Pixel Controller to 1 and its universe to 0.
02) For example, if you want to operate the Pixel Controller in 8-channel DMX mode, set the DMX starting
address of the 2
nd
Pixel Controller to 9, of the 3
rd
to 17, etc. See DMX Addressing on page 16 for more
information.
03) Once you have reached the limit of 512 DMX addresses, set the universe on the next Pixel Controller
to 1. There are again 512 DMX channels available and you can connect more devices.
04) As the Pixel Controller supports 255 universes, you can repeat steps 2–3 up to 255 times, each time
selecting a new universe in the ascending order.
Note: There are 512 channels in per universe. Counting begins at 0.
Art-Net is a protocol that uses TCP/IP to transfer large amount of DMX-512 data over an Ethernet network.
Art-Net 4 can support up to 32768 universes. Art-Net™ Designed by and Copyright Artistic Licence

Kling-Net Settings
01)
Install any Kling-Net-based software on your PC (Windows or Mac), for example 50180 – Arkaos LED
Master.
02) Make sure that your PC has a fixed IP address (IP:10.x.x.x. and subnet:255.0.0.0.). The Pixel Controller
does not require any further network setting adjustments.
03) Connect the Pixel Controller by means of a CAT-5/CAT-6 cable (see Fig. 07, page 12) to your
computer. Once you have connected the devices, they will automatically be recognized by the
software.
04) In the software, map the devices, using the “drag-and-drop” method, by placing the fixtures in “on-
screen” interface in the right position. It only requires a few minutes and, once it is done, the system
is completely set up.
05) When creating large setups, it is recommended to use a 16-bit, high speed ethernet switch to
distribute the Kling-Net data signal.
