[quote=rbrigham]My Hognet processors are currently located remotely in the dimmer/data room. I am just thinking that on the shows visiting my venue that carry their own console, I'd rather have them go artnet into my existing processors than run a 7 universe snake.
Well I guess it does make sense in that scenario....as Brad says, it is logged.
[quote=Lekolite]What I had understood up till now is that the 8k will send a HogIII output over artnet cat5, but that means one of its physical 5-pin outputs is doing nothing now.
Not entirely true.
[quote=Lekolite]I currently have a recurring use for this scenario, where I need just one or possibly 2 physical outputs for an artnet source and am not using all of the hognet outputs. This would make the 8k that much more awesome.
The DP-8K can handle 16 Universes. It only has 8 DMX 5-pin ports.....so you can have 8 ArtNet Universes plus 8 DMX 5-pin Universes or any combination thereof. The only time you would "lose" a 5-pin port is if you need more than 8 Universes of ArtNet (ie - 12 ArtNet Universes and 4 DMX 5-pin)
