  • Hey Benny,

    32 is no problem

    Just add 2 x DP8000

    Each DP8000 can do 16 Lines (8 of these direct 5-pin)
    You need to add an USB-Extender to add the other 8 lines or you must use an 8-port Artnet-Node connected to the Fixturelink of the DP8000

    The RHFB by itself can creat 12 universes, 4 5-pin and the rest via Artnet (fixture-link port)

    If you network your 3 consoles via Hognet, you can create 36 universes, 12 direct 5-pin (3 x 4) and the rest via Artnet.
    Again you would need 2 Artnet 8-port nodes.

    In general all 12 universes (16 with DP8000) are also available via artnet.
