Doug Fleenor Design NODE4 - Manual (Page 12)

Operation of the NODE4
Upon Loss of DMX512 from the network, the NODE4 will continue to transmit its last
received DMX512 data for three seconds. It then stops transmitting DMX512 and disables
the the DMX512 line driver allowing moving lights and dimmers to reset or to let a Preset10
take control of the line.
Merging on the NODE4 is done automatically. Six network sources per port are allowed on
the NODE4. This means that a single port on the NODE4 set for universe one can
automatically merge six different sources which are generating universe one. In Streaming
ACN mode, priorities of the stream are also taken into account. For example, the NODE4
will automatically merge six sources with the same priority. If a new source with a higher
priority is received, the other sources will be rejected until the higher priority source has
timed out. If a port is set up to input DMX512 in Streaming ACN mode, that port will be
transmitted on the network with a priority of 100. This is the default priority for Streaming
ACN.
