2. Installation 2.1 mounting the device LumiCore is a device that can be mounted in a truss as well as in a rack. Please read the following instructions to make sure the device is mounted and secured correctly. RACK MOUNT In case you want to mount your LumiCore in a standard 19-inch rack, you must attach the included mounting ears. -
Page 8: Truss Mount
TRUSS MOUNT To mount a LumiCore in a truss, you must attach a M10 clamp (G) to the M10 insert (H). After that, you can F I R S T A N G L E P R O J E C T I O N mount the clamp to the truss bars. -

Click and drag the handle down, to select other process engines. The LumiCore will automatically increase the universe number for each following process engine. This allows you to create a complete configuration in a snap! 3.2 Play page... -
Page 15: Record Trigger
If the IP address 0.0.0.0 is used all devices in the network generating the assigned control protocol and universe can be the control source. The LumiCore will use an LTP merging policy between the first four sources that become available. When using sACN the priority is also important to consider. -
Page 16: Miscellaneous
3 | ConfIGUratIon Protocol can be Art-Net or sACN. Universe is the universe created by the contact closure. Destination IP/Priority allows you to broadcast or unicast the contact closure’s universe when using Art-Net. If no IP is entered the broadcast address will be auto filled. When sACN is chosen as protocol this becomes the priority. -
Page 17: Network
This can be useful when data from different applications, in coexistence with the lighting data, needs to be transported over the same network. The Lighting data input/output and the management of the LumiCore can be separated in different network groups and can each have a unique IP address. - Page 18 4 for the input/output interface. Finally, we assigned group 2 to ETH1 to give the user access to this group on the front of the LumiCore. When all the settings are done, click Save (N) to apply the configuration.

This can be useful when data from different applications, in coexistence with the lighting data, needs to be transported over the same network. The lighting data input, the lighting data output, and the management of the LumiCore can be separated in different network groups and can each have a unique IP address. - Page 20 Network ports: Depending on the configuration chosen for the interfaces we now need to assign the correct groups/ trunks to the Ethernet ports of the LumiCore. ƒ Select the group or trunk you wish to assign in the Group/Trunks window (F).

6. LumiCore in detail 6. LumiCore in detail The LumiCore series is a new range of network converter, inheriting more than a decade of experience from the Luminex Ethernet-DMX converter design and manufactoring. In the past, most of the people were designing their system according to the number of universes and DMX ports they would need on their lighting control system. -

First select which show you want to use, then select the process engine that you want to use. All the process engines of the LumiCore are always available to choose from. For a better identification of the source, you can add a text to your Play source. - Page 31 (default 0) and the port number you wish to send this universe to. You can specify the IP address of the destination, by ticking the Unicast box. By default, the LumiCore will transmit this KiNET universe to the broadcast address of the IP range the unit is part of.

Page 32: Mode Definition
Auto Recover: ƒ When auto recovery is enabled the LumiCore will switch back to input one as soon as this is back available in the network. In this case the warning for the missing backup control source can be ignored. - Page 33 6 | lUmICore In DetaIl X-FADE This mode offers to you to cross fade between two sources. Ideal in a situation where you need to cross fade between a lighting desk and a media server, the control channel allows you to keep full control on the speed and smoothness of the transition.
- Page 34 6 | lUmICore In DetaIl CUSTOM This mode is ideal for a complex setup, or when per channel control is needed. Custom offers you to choose what policy to apply for each channel, and to create a complete custom soft patch.
