FAQ

How many universes can be recorded?

The DiGidot C4 Extended will only record the universes that are configured in the device.
The limitation of recorded universes is therefore defined by the license. All recorded universes can
simultaneously be redirected to the Art-Net output.
If the amount of universes that you want to record exceeds the amount of universes corresponding to
your license, you have to use multiple C4 Extended controllers with the right amount of universes
and configure them to the appropriate universes. Once you start recording, all C4 Extended
controllers will start recording their designated universes.
There is no limitation in terms of universe numbers, you can record any universe that's being
transmitted within the same Art-Net network.

What is the storage capacity of the C4 Extended?

The 8GB microSD card (when formatted) is automatically partitioned into two 4 GB partitions. One
partition is used as flash buffer for recordings and the other 4 GB partition is used to store scenes
and settings. Use only original industrial grade DiGidot microSD cards. Other memory cards will not
work.
The average theoretical recording time limit with 8 universes is approximately 10 hours.

Can licenses be combined in a network?

Yes, it's possible to combine various licenses such as Live and Extended within one network.
One application example could be that the DiGidot C4 Extended version is used to record an Art-Net
stream which is triggered by the analogue inputs. The control signal will then be send by Art-Net to
all other devices which can output the amount of universes, corresponding to the specific licenses.
Please note that in order to maintain sync, we recommend to use high speed routers/ethernet
switches.

How does the DiGidot C4 know what time it is?

As soon as you load the DiGidot C4 interface, the browser time of your computer or mobile device is
copied. The internal battery will keep track of time, until you load the interface again to synchronize
time. Please note that the browser time is not necessarily accurate, because it can be set manually
or correspond to different time zones. If you are going to use time based triggers and events, please
make sure to verify your browser time.
Why do I get a repeating message; "The SD card(s) need
to be formatted"?
When you keep on getting this message during start up and when loading the interface, this often
indicates that the operating voltage of the DiGidot C4 is a little too low. The chance for this error
