Moderator jfk Posted January 12, 2013 Moderator Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 A dimmer switch? make, model, etc? What part of the WATCHOUT 5.2 User Guide output and DMX instructions on pages (201), 204 and 205 are you having difficulty with? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member paolino Posted January 16, 2013 Member Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 You must use the artnet interface ( netwotk to DMX ) ( don't use usb to DMX because don't work ) and next you must set the DMX universe on preference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnitCone Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Do I need a secondary ethernet card in the Production PC to receive DMX over Artnet from a lighting consolle? i.e LAN1 for Watchout network, LAN2 for Artnet? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Dannert Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Do I need a secondary ethernet card in the Production PC to receive DMX over Artnet from a lighting consolle? No, you don't need that. i.e LAN1 for Watchout network, LAN2 for Artnet? Just add the artnet controlled device on the existing WATCHOUT network The controlled ArtNet device should reside on the same IP-address range and subnet, as WATCHOUT. Sometimes this means adopting to the ArtNet device's range. ArtNet uses normally IP 2.x.x.x and Subnet 255.0.0.0 WATCHOUT needs the subnet to be set to 255.255.255.0, for proper functon. WATCHOUT listens on one DMX universe, and sends on another. Please see the Preferences/Control tab for settings. Devices normally used includes KISSBox DMX and Enttech ODE. http://www.kissbox.nl/products_new.html#dmx http://www.enttec.com/?main_menu=Products&pn=70305 http://www.enttec.com/?main_menu=Products&pn=70306 /jonas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator jfk Posted April 3, 2013 Moderator Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Hi Jonas, It's Possible to use more than 1 ArtNet devices on the network?. I try to install 4 KissBox to get 4 universe output. -Omar- No, as stated in the User Guide, the DMX output device(s) can only use one ArtNet universe. Chapter 11 Inputs and Outputs page 205 You must also configure WATCHOUT to transmit DMX data on the Artnet Universe number used by the device(s) to be controlled. This is done under the Control tab in the Preferences dialog box (see “DMX-512 Universe” on page 123). All devices controlled by WATCHOUT must be in the same Artnet universe. You could drive more than one universe using the DMX record / playback functions added in v5.2, but not with the DMX device function. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
