Is it possible to setup a pair of 4port gateways to merge 5 independent streams of DMX into one sACN/Net3 universe with a priority setup per range of channels on each of the inputs?
This is for a hotel Ballroom scenario where one large ballroom can be sub-divided into several smaller rooms, some of which will have a DMX input, some who won't.
The example desired is as follows-
Input 1 is located in Ballroom 1 and Ballroom 1 contains dimmers 1-24.
Input 2 is located in Ballroom 2, which contains dimmers 25-48
Input 3 is located in Ballroom 3, and contains dimmers 49-72
Input 4 is located in ballroom 4 and contains dimmers 73-96.
Input 5 is located in a control booth above the ballroom and would control dimmers 1-96.
Now, Can the priorities be setup like this-
Input 1- DMX 1-24 Priority 100, 25-96 Priority 90
Input 2- DMX 1-24 Priority 90, 25-48 Priority 100, 49-96 Priority 90
Input 3- DMX 1-48 Priority 90, 49-72 Priority 100, 73-96 Priority 90
Input 4- DMX 1-72 Priority 90, 73-96 priority 100
Input 5- DMX 1-96 Priority 110
This would allow the user to have control of just the respective dimmers in each ballroom if multiple consoles are plugged in, and have control over all of it if the console was plugged into either input 5 or if there were no other consoles plugged in if I remember priority settings right.
If I'm wrong, please let me know where I fouled up the idea and how to do it right.
Thanks.
