NET3 DMX output combined？

I think this could be done with a 4-port Net3 gateway and advanced Input Patch for three ports if you can get DMX out of the console with DMX cables:

• connect the console output of Universe 1 to Port 1 - DMX Input 1-300 set to output 1/1-1/300
• connect the console output of Universe 10 to Port 2 - DMX Input  200-312 set to output 1/301-1/412
• connect the console output Universe 14 to Port 3 - DMX Input 1-100 set to output 1/413-1/512

You could use port 4 of the gateway as an output for Universe 1 to get the combined output.

Configure the Net3 Gateway with Concert software - the manual is at http://www.etcconnect.com/WorkArea/DownloadAsset.aspx?id=10737495774 and Advanced Input Patch is on page 87.

This could almost work, except that sACN universe 1 output by the gateway would have an HTP mixture of data from before and after the gateway's merging impact.

Two options to tweak this and clean it up:

1) Remove the gateway from the network.  That would isolate so the only sACN 1 the gw sees is what it is generating.  (Note: You'll want the most recent gateway code for this.  A couple of versions back there was an issue with unnetworked gateway function.)

2) Set all the AIP inputs and the output universe to a (matching) new universe--one that isn't used anywhere on the network.

good points - i didn't think about the universe 1 merging "loop" if the gateway is on the network.

I think a DFD (horrors a non-ETC product) protocol converter could do this all in network, then to gateways.

From a quick look at the manual- it appears that the E2E only converts full universes between network formats (sACN to Art-net, etc.) and doesn't do sub-universe patching and routing.

I can implement such a function in ETC net2, why net3 is not？pathway products can meet such needs.

I understand the way you said, but I don't want this kind of physical input to output. I think the only solution is to customize a universe. This universe can define SACN input and output by itself.

Similar to the table above, customize a Vport or universe，command:1-300*1.1-,301-412*10.200-,413-512*14.1-
