Feature Request: ArtNet 4 Unicast

What controllers are you using that EOS's artnet won't talk to them?  I haven't come across a pixel controller that only utilizes artnet 4.

The universe thing will be an issue though, Madrix/Resolume or any media server can process many more universes because they aren't nesting or referencing any other data simultaneously.

The controller I use is  https://www.ulrichradig.de/home/index.php/dmx/art-net-pixel-con-neu and my Gio@5 talks to it.

Every ArtNet 4 Controller has it's own IP-Adress to change the block of 8 Universes, so in Eos I can only use the first

8 Universes.

Are you saying that changing the IP to .99 (.98 default) will change to the next block of 8?  Their website says these settings are controllable through dmx-workshop, have you explored that?

I've changed th IP adresses to 10.101.50.201 til 10.101.50.208 Subnet 255.255.0.0. I use only 4-5 ports per node. I now use Resolume Arena and everything works fine.

That's good to hear it's working.  Their manual implies you should be able to change the universes it is listening to through the website or dmxworkshop.  In Resolume you can set unicast IPs but generally that doesn't change the way the receiver/decoder works. It still listens to everything and filters it's subscription.

On large rigs the unicast definitely helps keep traffic down once you are at 5-10 links in a network, and I hope it is implemented some day, but I also haven't seen a noticeable problem to 30-40 uni of pixels from EOS yet.  And if I did it would be more with the lack of a sync signal which only a program like Madrix runs.
