 Back-up switching of Lighting Controllers. Main and backup lighting controllers have
ArtNet or sACN outputs on different universes. Nexus 1 receives both ArtNet or sACN
universes and the DMX output port is configured for Priority Mode which will auto
changeover to secondary on loss of the primary universe.
 DMX to ArtNet or sACN converter. Nexus converts the DMX to the ArtNet or sACN
universe that you specify. ArtNet or sACN is distributed throughout the facility using low
cost Ethernet infrastructure. Multiple Nexus 1 units provide DMX to operate lighting
equipment.
