The Gio, the Hippotizer, and Pixel Mapping

Hello, I'm using looking to use the Pixel Mapper on the Hippotizer alongside a Gio console to drive a handful of LEDs. I've gotten the Gio to control the Hippo in various ways using the HMAP2 and DMX2 components on the Hippo, which works flawlessly. My question:

Is there a way to tell the Gio to act as a passthrough for the DMX data from the Hippo? Or...

Do I have to send data directly from the Hippotizer to the DMX gateways/nodes controlling the LEDs?

 

We have NIC-1 on the Gio sending eDMX to our lighting system, while NIC-2 on the Gio is communicating with the Hippotizer via the ArtNet protocol.

I can't imagine the model of lights would matter much for this, but just in case... the LEDs are of the Chauvet Tour 2 variety running in Arc+d personality mode, which I believe is the equivalent of the Hippotizer's generic RGBI fixture type.

Oh, and the Hippotizer software is running on the Rackoon.

  • You will need to send the data directly from the Hippotizer to the nodes outputing to the LEDs. There is no way to bridge the network connections.

    The Hippotizer outputs artnet and when dealing with large number of art net universe it is best to keep it separate from your other network. It can use a lot of bandwidth.
