ETC ION Ethernet out > sACN > dmx converter > many many devices

Hi,

I have access to some dmx converters that can output any dmx universe in the whole spectrum. They speak sACN.

I read, " The ETC ION can control up to 10000 universes of DMX "

My ION outputs 2 universes in dmx. I do not need the ION to do this if I can solve this output issue on Ethernet. So, if I can output to 10000 universes through ethernet, or rather a wifi access point. I can address these boxes to any of the available unverses. I really only need 3 right now, but so what?

Does anyone know if and how I can go out through the ethernet capabilities of ION to generate data on any DMX universe? A reference to a white paper would do me just fine.




Thanks,

John

    I believe if your gateways are properly configured and networked, and enabled sACN on the Ion, then once you patch a channel to whatever universe the gateway is listening for, it should just work. Since I don't own a gateway I can't say for sure, but a foggy memory of Wireshark traces seem to indicate that it works. I know I have no issues sending sACN to my Sensor rack and I didn't do anything special.
