82 MBOX ® DIRECTOR USER MANUAL
EXTERNAL CONTROL
Control by an External Console (Passthrough Art-Net)
The Passthrough Art-Net feature allows Mbox Director to merge Art-Net commands from an external console with its
own output. Once the feature is enabled, pop-up menus can be used to enable control of specific parameters, groups
of parameters, or entire layers. In this case, Director will merge the parameter value(s) from the Passthrough Universe
and output the remaining parameters to the Mbox Art-Net Universe as normal.
The following diagram illustrates the Passthrough Art-Net configuration using example universe values:
Note: If the Passthrough Universe has not been received, then no parameters will be overridden.
To setup Passthrough Art-Net:
Step 1. At Add Fixture or Change Configuration window, click "Enable Passthrough Art-Net" checkbox.
Step 2. At "Other Console’s Universe (Input)" field, enter Art-Net universe that console will be broadcasting on.
Step 3. Click Save button.
