Multiple output protocols - tricks?

Does anyone have any tricks for patching using multiple protocols?

As it stands, my house has Universe 1 going to the house dimmers via sACN

Universe 2 is a DMX dry line.

and I've just acquired a 4-port art-net node that I'm going to throw into Universes 6-9.

Is there an easy way to assign a protocol per universe? or do I have to assign the protocol for each channel as I patch?

Ideally, I'd love to be able to assign a universe a default output protocol in settings instead of one global output protocol.

Other than outputting every protocol to every Universe, does anyone have any tricks?

Thanks!

  • 1. i've never done this, but this might work.

    2. in patch, change format to address format.

    type in your address range per universe (U6 = 3072 thru 3583 or whatever)

    click in the sACN column and pop-up window appears for which output you want to assign to the dimmer.

    hows zat?

  • It's excessively redundant, but I can build a macro to

    list by address... Flexi_Patched

    (1/1) [Through] (1/512) {sACN} [Enter]

    (2/1) [Through] (2/512) {DMX} [Enter]

    (6/1) [Through] (6/512) {Art-Net} [Enter]

    (7/1) [Through] (7/512) {Art-Net} [Enter] 

    (8/1) [Through] (8/512) {Art-Net} [Enter] 

    (9/1) [Through] (9/512) {Art-Net} [Enter] 

    As I found out, Interface can't span universes, so you have to do each individually.
