Hey, What would be the cheapest option for connecting onyx with my fixtures?

If I were talking to a dmx node and a media sever from a lighting desk with arntet would my switch need to be managed and also setup with an IP Address? Thanks

Hey, Do i need a fixture that supports Art-Net or sACN or can I convert it from the node into dmx to then to my fixture.

Hey There, I'm planning on doing a concert at the end of the year at my school and we will be using backing tracks and my original plan was to buy the Enttec DMXIS and automate all the lighting, however I checked my schools lighting desk and its running an ethernet cable out the back of it so I'm puzzled as to how I can do this now. Any tips? Thanks.

So if you were to have a router in the mix, in what specific part of the signal flow would you plug that into? Im wondering because you touched on it briefly here in the video. Also this may be a dumb question, but I was looking at some DMX output nodes, specifically Enttec Storm 8 and I was wondering if the output is an Ethernet cable how are we going to come into a fixture that doesn't have a network port and only a DMX In/Out?? Thanks for your help!

I’ve been having trouble getting my Adj MyDMX program to communicate with my octo. I can connect to and run the device in direct mode. EMU detects the octo, but Mydmx does not. Are you familiar with any way to test artnet connectivity inside a console?

What ports need to be open on a managed switch for either sACN or Art-Net?

[thibaudkillin]

Can you have artnet come right out of your computer with a network cable ? I'm working with resolume and I want to send video to some artnet devices (led bars with 190ch each), can I pull the network cables right out of the computer ? or do you need some kind of artnet node/device ?

Hi, how do you hook up art net to a Mac that doesn’t have an Ethernet port? I want to start using Light key but I’m not sure what art net interface to buy.

Why are all the art_net devices 5 pin ? Do I simply need a 5 pin to 3 pin dmx cable to run to my lighting fixtures?

[davidraksin]

This may be overthinking it but how do my devices know which artnet universes correspond with the designated IP?

I have an enode with 4 dmx ports, so essentially 4 universes can be outputted. I set my IP then in my software all I have is "artnet universe 0, 1, 2, 3..." How would my ports know which universe is what? I also have chauvet epix drive, and if I add that into the mix, how does that get treated separately from my enode 4?
