DP8000 and Artnet

Hi,

I have an Hog3 iPC soon to be running 3.2.3 and an external DP8000 currently running 8 universes of DMX. In my rig I have four Robe Digispot DT7000s currently being controlled via ARTNET from a MagicQ desk. I'm looking at merging the two networks onto the iPC and have been reading up with the issues between HogNet and ArtNet so I'm fine with that, however, I do have a question regarding the DP8000.

Will it still support the Artnet network even though it's 8 DMX universes are in use or would I need an expander?

Thanks,

Rob

    Yes, you can send Art-Net and E1.31/sACN simultaneously. You can even send the same universe universe using both protocols at the same time.

    As a general rule, it's best to keep the number of universes sent as Art-Net broadcast to a minimum. Use Unicast Art-Net or E1.31 (unicast or multicast) whenever you can. For small systems it doesn't matter, but when you get larger rigs using lots of broadcast traffic can really drag down your network performance.
