DMX Universes
The console provides for a maximum of 702 universes (labeled A thru ZZ), which are assigned to DMX buses or
"hosts" (hardware outputs within the system). This means that the actual amount of buses available will depend on
your system setup.
To define DMX512 universes:
Step 1. At Setup menu, select DMX Setup. (DMX Setup window will open. )
Step 2. Select desired DMX Universe.
Step 3. Enable Patch Edit by pressing Patch Edit button at bottom of window.
Step 4. Select "Super Node" from DMX Host menu.
Step 5. Enter Node thumbwheel address in "Thumb" field.
Step 6. Choose "Port" output.
Step 7. If assigning multiple universes, click Next or press [Enter] to edit the next
universe. Otherwise, select Disable Edit to disable patch edit and save changes.
Note: If patching sequential Nodes and outputs, pressing the [Return] button on the keyboard will auto increment the
patch. If not sequential, repeat Steps 4 through 6.
* For instructions on using DMX diagnostics, refer to "DMX512 Channel Tests" on page 348.
Streaming ACN
Each PRG Node Plus output port can be configured to send ANSI E1.31 Streaming ACN (sACN) format packets over
the Ethernet port instead of Art-Net packets. This selection is made by setting the DMX Out option to "sACN" and
clicking the Set button. (The default output type is Art-Net.)
Note: E1.31 does not allow universe 0, so that universe cannot be used with sACN.
