Adding A Dmx Channel Event - Christie Mirage M Series User Manual

Christie recommends hardware termination because software termination is only in place when
the projector has AC applied. If there are cases where the network is required to be terminated
without AC applied to the last projector, use a hardware terminator.
• ArtNET Universe—Specifies which universe the projector belongs to, so it can filter out all
other data packets. For DMX512, each universe represents a separate electrical circuit of up to
512 devices/channels. For ArtNET however, DMX data is broadcasted over an Ethernet network,
so every device receives every packet of data, whether they belong to that universe or not. This
control specifies which universe the projector belongs to, so it can filter out all other data
packets. The Universe applies to ArtNET only and does not apply to the DMXC input card.
• ArtNET Subnet—Specifies which ArtNET subnet (group of universes) the projector belongs to.
This is the highest level address in an ArtNET network, providing expandability beyond the
universe level. The Subnet applies to ArtNET only and does not apply to the DMXC input card.
• Input Noise Filter—The Input Noise Filter eliminates DMX/ArtNET input oscillation, which can
occur on some DMX control boards. This can cause fine resolution controls (for example, Lens,
Brightness) to continually change. A filter setting of 0 turns off the filter; a setting of 1 filters +/
- 1 step changes. Using this filter decreases the fine control precision of some slider controls.
By default this filter is set to 0 (Off). Christie does not recommend using this feature unless you
are experiencing problems with your DMX input.
• Host Name—Responds to ArtNET polling queries. By default the host name is composed from
the projector name and serial number. (Default = "<unit name>_<serial no>").
The hostname is also defined at Configuration > Communications > Ethernet Settings
> Host Name.
