Page 11: Protocol Setup
RDM over sACN is currently not supported. When the sACN is ratified to include the RDM protocol, a simple software update of your ProPlex IQ Two Node will add this functionality. The sACN protocol does not allow a universe “0”, therefore the first selectable sACN universe is universe “1”. - Page 12 By pressing the "On source loss" button, a new window will appear. When the "Hold values" setting is chosen, after the source DMX is lost, the IQ Two 1616 2x holds the last DMX values it has received and continues to output these values until incoming DMX has been restored.
- Page 13 This setting determines the time Art-Net will refresh the signal after idling. Select from 0.5s, 1s, 2s or 4s, depending on the requirement. This only applies to ProPlex IQ Two 2x DMX connectors set to input mode. Some consoles may not resend a DMX packet if there is no change in the value.
