Art-Net™ is an Ethernet protocol that uses TCP/IP that transfers large amount of
DMX512 data using an etherCON RJ45 connection over a large network. An
Art-Net™ protocol document is available from www.chauvetprofessional.com. Art-
Net™ Designed by and Copyright Artistic Licence Holdings Ltd.
This product is not designed to respond to controllers sending in Broadcast
mode via Art-Net™. For best results, use Unicast mode. For information
about which control protocol your controller uses, please contact the
manufacturer of your controller.
Kling-Net is a network protocol that allows auto configuration of display devices
using an etherCON RJ45 Ethernet connection. Refer to the ArKaos software manual
for detailed instructions on programming this product.
For smooth-running operation, ArKaos Kling-Net requires a gigabit
(1000 Mbps) Ethernet card and network router.
sACN is an Ethernet protocol that uses TCP/IP that transfers large amount of
DMX512 data using an etherCON RJ45 connection over a large network. In
functionality terms, the combination of sACN and RDMnet provide the same
functionality as Art-Net™. Refer to the manual for detailed instructions and an Art-
Net™ protocol document both available on www.chauvetprofessional.com.
