Key Features Explained - DiGidot C4 Extended Manual

Key features explained

The DiGidot C4 has many powerful features, in this chapter we will explain what these key features
do.
More than 60 supported protocols
The DiGidot C4 supports more than 60 control protocols and new IC's are added frequently.
Up to 16 universes to SPI conversion*
Depending on your DiGidot C4 version and license, you can output up to 16 universes, equaling 8192
control channels.
Onboard 100Mbit switch
The onboard 100Mbit switch allows for an Art-Net or sACN input and output.
DMX In/Out
The four I/O ports can be configured as one or two DMX inputs or outputs. It's also possible to use
one input and one output.
The I/O ports can also be configured as 4 x DMX TTL which can be converted to four balanced DMX
outputs when a DiGidot PxLNet Transmitter module is connected to the DiGidot C4.
IP Address filter
With this feature you can configure the DiGidot C4 to only listen to a specific IP Address as input.
Signals from other IP Addresses will be ignored.
Art-Net routing
You can route any of the incoming Art-Net universes to the DMX or Art-Net outputs.
HTP merge signal inputs
It is possible to merge various input signals such as DMX and/or Art-Net according to the HTP
(Highest Takes Precedence) principal.
Incoming and outgoing signal Monitor
The Monitor is a powerful tool where all incoming and outgoing data as well as frame rate and
network status can be monitored.
Create segments
Create simple chase effects for large number of pixels by creating segments of channels or LED's
and reduce the amount of input channels.
Daisy-chainable
The two port ethernet switch with RJ45 bus allow the DiGidot C4 to be daisy chained. Daisy chaining
more than 5 devices can cause network delays. Therefore, we recommend using a professional grade
Gigabit network switch to split the network load.
Build-in scene generator (DiGidot C4 Extended only)
You can generate simple static or color scroll scenes in the user interface, store them and activate
them by any trigger option.
