Acclaim Lighting ART IO - Manual (Page 3)

Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Art SSC and Art IO. This manual discussing setting up the units and
programming the lighting cues, show-control-actions and various other features.
The Art SSC and Art IO share for a large part the same functionality. When discussing those functions
this manual will refer to the 'device'; this means both the Art SSC and Art IO.
Art SSC
The Art SSC is solid-state lighting controller, designed without any moving parts, it is build for reliability
and durability.
The unit is aimed at providing a control solution for
(semi-)permanent lighting projects. The Art SSC primary
control signal is DMX-512, the protocol used for
entertainment, theatre and most LED lighting fixtures.
Next to DMX-512 this controller also supports a range of
other protocols; allowing communication with various
other equipment.
An internal web-server provides the web-interface through which you can program the Art SSC. A
modern browser is required to access this web-interface during set-up. A browser or computer is not
required for standalone use after the set-up.
It features:
– 2 independent, optically isolated DMX-512 outputs
– optically isolated DMX-512 input
– MIDI in, through and out (with MTC support)
– SMPTE time-code input
– GPI port with 4 contact closures
– Ethernet port with support of Art-Net, OSC & UDP
– Lighting controller with 256 cues
– DMX-512 and Art-Net recorder with 16 memories
– Real-time clock scheduling
– aTouch compatibility
Art IO
The Art IO is an expansion module in the Art SSC. It offers interfacing to digital and analogue inputs and
digital outputs and supports various protocols like DMX, RS-232, OSC, UDP and Art-Net.
The Art IO features 8 inputs that can be individually
configured as digital or analogue input. The 8 outputs on
the Art IO are relay-switched and can handle 3 Amp. The
digital outputs can be used to switched various other
devices like A/V equipment, blinds or heavy-duty relays.
Additionally, the Art IO is fitted with a DMX-512 port that
can be configured as input or output, and a bi-directional
