ArtNet control of Panasonic projector

Assuming I have the right one, the projector manual says that Channel 7 has to be in the range "128-255" for any functions to be available to Art-Net.

It also appears to be effectively Reset.

You may have already seen this, but there's also this fine print on the panasonic website

Similar question/goal here. I want to use Artnet to load the lens memory for my Panasonic pt rz12k.  At the moment it seems like the projector isn’t seeing the artnet from my Ion.  I’m a little unclear on how the artnet settings of net, subnet, and universe translate to settings in EoS.  Any advice would be appreciated.  In shell I’ve tired to select the option that was met 0, subnet 1. Then in patch I used the fixture profile of a Rz970 (all the control channels Match up to what I was expecting) and set it on universe 2 address 1.

I think you should just set it to Start 0 in the network settings.   That's certainly how I have it set and then I have things on universe 10 and it works fine.

I have though come across some artnet things that seem to be off by one.   ie you set the device to universe 2 and then EOS needs to have the device patched at 3/ or 1/   (cant remember which way round now),  So worth just trying the universes one up and one down from what you think it should be set to, in case its that issue.

I'm assuming that the network interface is enabled (and if on Nomads make sure its the only one when you start Nomads, at least until you've got things working ok as there appear to be different experiences of whether Nomads supports more than one network interface)

The first Art-Net universe is 0/0, while all other protocols start counting universes at 1.

So assuming everything in Eos is at defaults and Art-Net is enabled:

• Art-Net Universe 0/0 is Eos Universe 1
• Art-Net Universe 0/1 is Eos Universe 2

and so on.

Sadly, the Panasonic DMX control scheme is very hard to use and very poorly documented.

There is a parameter to enable/disable Art-Net control.
IIRC, you have to pulse it to "Enable" and then back to "Disable" for each command. I don't quite remember whether you set the values you want before or after raising to "Enable" though, and the manual doesn't say.

Agree that the count of universes should work like that but just saying that not all manufacturers have read the rules,  I have two bit of equipment that need to be set with different universes even though they are in the same universe at the EOS end.   One of them got the numbering off by one,  and probably started at 1 instead of 0.  It messed me up for quite a while until almost out of desperation I tried changing the universe and it sprung into life.

There is an artnet status screen in the projector setup which might also give you some clues if its not working.  Im assuming you've assigned it an IP adress in the same range as the desk

the universe numbering is indeed off by one.  in Eos I've set it to Universe two but I've had to tell the projector to listen on Universe 3.  i used Wireshark to monitor the packets my Ion was sending and saw that the DMX universe was coming across on 3.  I was able to park the enable/disable channel so that its always enabled. In shell the Artnet is "start 2" so i think its network 0 and subnet 2; which seems to match what Richard is saying.

thanks both!
