Use sACN at universe 1-500 and ArtNet 501-600

As the subject says, we would try to use  sACN at universe 1-500 and ArtNet on universe 501-600.

Where can I found a guide how to setup ArtNet on EOS 3.2 if I search on "ArtNet"? The online manual is not the best to explain all steps about ArtNet and how everything works out. sACN is more easy to handle. ;)

We found couple of places that handle ArtNet and it´s enabled and we change in our patch that some universe should be send by ArtNet. I´am going to use The ArtNetominator next week, but need to read more about it this weekend and be more prepered. 

This is a test for our LED-trolleys that we had problem with so we would send sACN on port 1 and ArtNet on port 2. We would test four trolleys on sACN and the rest on ArtNet to see if we get some diffrence on the output on the trolleys. We think we could have a network issue on this rather a EOS-software issue.

  • We use Cisco-switch 550X-serie connected with 10Gigabit fiber. We have a couple of networkswitch up and running, but we only had two "networksswitch jump" between source (Apex10) to destination (DMX-Node/Entec Pixelator). No VLANS. I setup this for couple of years ago with Cisco 300 and 350-serie, and change it to 550X-serie last year. Same config as ETC recommend in there guides for Cisco.

    We had identify that we had problem with two network outlet on stage, we got a more stable connection when we reconnected them to other outlets. Now we had a more reliable sACN from consoles to our ENTEC-pixelled tape, but it could be better because it lags sometimes. Slight smile

    We added 64 more universe when we pixelmap our LED... Would just test to separate theese 64 universe on another networkport and the only way is to use ArtNet, because we normal use sACN. Maybee add a separeted 1Gigabit switch on stage to handle these universe.
