Nomad as backup

Art-Net is quite hard to configure properly.
Try running the ETCnomad as Server and load your show to see how it is set up - Art-Net might be disabled or set to to wrong broadcast address for your system.

Additionally, the Backup will only backup the number of Outputs permitted by its dongle.

I would guess that your ETCnomad was showing "Output Limit Reached" in the header.
That indicator means that there is more patched in the showfile than console or ETCnomad is licenced for.

In that situation only the first N outputs can be output when it takes over.
If your first few were not Art-Net or sACN, then it'd be trying to use a Gadget to output them instead.

Thanks richard. I have the full dongle, I seem to remember that it's limited to 4 universes. Currently there's very little on U5 and nothing on u6 so that's no issue. I found the problem, it was the art net config in nomad. It works smoothly now, all that's left is to get u1 and 2 on IP!

Great to hear!
