Example DMX Universe Conversions
DMX - Art-Net
Art-Net - DMX
DMX - sACN
sACN - DMX
DMX - KiNet
Art-Net - sACN
It is also possible to create combinations of the examples above. For instance
you could set up a conversion from DMX to both Art-Net and sACN. Or merge
incoming Art-Net and sACN together into the DMX output. Also, at any point
it is possible to merge the incoming DMX data with the data generated by the
internal playbacks.
To set up the conversion go to the Show Control page and choose the incoming
protocol from the 'Sources' table and add it to the 'Action lists' table. Then add
an action for each DMX Universe you wish to convert; e.g. when converting two
DMX ports to Art-Net it requires two action to programmed. The trigger-type
in the actions should be set to 'Universe' to make the QuadCore process the 512
channels as a whole rather then process individual channels. Each action should
contain a DMX-task with the 'feature' set to 'Universe'; all DMX Universe data
is first being copied into the QuadCore's internal DMX buffer. From this buffer
it can be copied to the DMX outlet or the other protocols such as Art-Net and
sACN. Figure 10.2 provides a schematic for this data flow.

The function needs to be set to Control HTP.

All channels are compared and the highest levels are used for the merged output
(HTP precedence).
