Art-Net/DMX controller required

In order for the DiGidot C4 to work in a live system setup or to be able to record scenes (DiGidot C4
extended only), a third party Art-Net/DMX software or console is required. The DiGidot C4 controllers
are known to be working with various professional grade softwares and consoles, such as: MADRIX,
Pharos, ArKaos, Resolume Arena, MadMapper, POET, grandMA and many more. As long as the control
software or console uses industry standard Art-Net or DMX protocols, you can control the DiGidot C4
controller.
Control software, DMX & Art-Net control platforms
When the setup process has been completed, the DiGidot C4 is ready to be used with any type of
Art-Net/DMX software/device.
The DiGidot C4 can automatically be detected as an Art-Net device, depending on the software or
console. In order to do so, an Input/output configuration must be completed first.
Each DiGidot C4 can be configured to have a unique IP address for unicasting. Assign a device name
to the DiGidot C4, for easier recognition (see the chapter Configuring the DiGidot C4).

Supported protocols (ICs)

The DiGidot C4 supports more than 60 'Data' and 'Clock+Data' SPI protocols.
All supported protocols can be found in the C4 user interface. Go to Home > Settings > In/out
configuration > Select a port drop down menu to open the protocol list.
Please visit our website www.digidot.eu for latest overview of all supported protocols/IC's.
