Full Boar - Art-Net Patching

Gents,

It appears that the implementation of the 12-Universe Art-Net limitation on the Full Boar is managed by not allowing the last four universes of a DP to be patched to Art-Net.

I would REALLY appreciate it if this were managed in a different way. I just spent an hour on site troubleshooting an Art-Net connection. I am using eight total universes, but I have them patched to 1-3, 5-8, and 16 in the DP for organizational purposes. The 'fixtures' on Universe 16 were not responding and it turned out that it would only work on Universe 12 or below.

I understand the reason for the 12-universe restriction, but this is an issue that will only cause problems for users. As long as you are not trying to process fixtures on more than 12 universes I think that you should be able to 'use' any universe you want.

Regards,

Phil

    I get it. I really do.

    I don't even have a problem with HOW or the WHY.

    My problem is that the console does not give you any clue that this DOESN'T work.

    A) I can PATCH something to Universe sixteen of the internal DP.

    B) I can ENABLE universe 16 in the Art-Net Outputs pane of the internal DP.

    C) Nothing comes out.

    D) I start looking at other things that might be going wrong.

    Yes. Art-Net is very powerful and versatile on the console. Thank You.

    Please consider that there may still be room for improvement.
