trnhnnh Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 I am trying to figure out how to control a Panasonic PT-RW930 through art-net. I want to be able to control the light output so that instead of a 0 count hard shutter, I can fade the actual light output. Under Art-Net Setup in the projector, I set the Net and Subnet as 0, set the Start Address as 1, and put each projector in their own universe. Under watchout, I created a DMX-512 output with the universe of each projector, and set the channel as 6 since the settings in the projector say that channel 6 is Light Output. But it doesn't seem to be working. I don't have a good understanding of DMX or addresses, so if anyone could offer any wisdom, it would be much appreciated!

Morgan Wong Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 you need go online in order to have actual artnet dmx output. and try to use some artnet monitor on another computer, make sure everything go through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Fahl Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 We have a basic but very useful Artnet monitor available here: https://github.com/pixilab/artnet-monitor The file to run using the instructions on that page (ArtNet-Monitor.jar) is located in the dist directory. This will let you verify that WATCHOUT is outputting the exected Artnet data on the expected universe and channel. Artnet addressing can be a bit confusing – especially related to the universe numbering schem, which sometimes is 1-based and sometimes 0-based. So trying one universe up/down can help figuring this out. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benoit Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Hello Trnhnnh, For the projector to execute your DMX orders, you also need to add an output universe 2 channel 7 and the projector only execute your commands if this output is above 50% if I remember correctly. Best, Benoit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trnhnnh Posted March 19 Author Report Share Posted March 19 Hi all, thanks for your responses so far. I am online and I go an artnet monitor. I added the output universe and channel. I can see from my other computer that the production computer is outputting data from universe 2, channel 7, but if I'm reading the artnet monitor correctly,the data doesn't seem to be reaching the projectors. Is it possible it's the IP address? I currently have everything on a 10.101.100.x on subnet mask 255.0.0.0. Under the projector settings, it had "Art-Net SETUP" and I set it to ON(MANUAL) so it would follow the IP address of the projector under Network setup. When I had it set to ON(10.x.x.x) or ON(2.x.x.x), I couldn't connect to the web control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benoit Posted Tuesday at 08:30 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 08:30 AM Hi, Can you share your Watchout output window or your project file? Benoit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trnhnnh Posted Tuesday at 09:30 PM Author Report Share Posted Tuesday at 09:30 PM Attached is my project file. I would appreciate any ideas. For reference, we have 4 Panasonic projectors. My thought had been to put each projector on its own universe and have them each have a start address of 1. HowToBreak MAIN.watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
