Operation
Safety Instructions for Operation
Attention
This device must be used only for the purposes it is designed for.
This device is intended for use as a signal converter. It is suitable for use indoors and outdoors. It is not
suitable for households.
Any other use, not mentioned under intended use, is regarded as non-intended and incorrect use.
Attention
Power supply
Before connecting the device to the power supply, make sure that the current, voltage and frequency
match the input voltage, current and frequency specified on the information label on the device.
Configuration Options
The NET-4/3 IP can be configured to convert DMX signals into Art-Net or sACN and vice versa. The
following configuration options are possible:
●
Convert Art-Net/sACN to 4 x DMX outputs
●
Convert 4 x DMX inputs to Art-Net/sACN
●
Clone 4 x DMX input to 2 x DMX output and 2 x Art-Net/sACN
●
HTP/LTP Merge 2 x Art-Net/sACN universes into 1 x DMX output
●
HTP/LTP Merge 1 x DMX input and 1 x Art-Net/sACN into 1 x DMX output
When configured as output, each DMX port can merge up to 2 network sources. Merged data is sent to
the DMX ports or looped back to Ethernet as a new universe. On each DMX port there can be 2 different
network universes enabled: primary universe (main), and secondary universe (additional). Primary and
secondary universes may have different protocols (Art-Net or sACN).
When configured as input, the DMX port can convert DMX-512 signal to Art-Net or sACN. The universe
type and protocol for the input port is always taken from the primary universe. The NET-4/3 IP also supports
a BACKUP function. In case of a failure, or when there are no DMX values on the primary Art-Net/sACN
universe for more than 3 seconds, the NET-4/3 IP starts sending the DMX values from the backup port.
You can configure the device and the ports via the control panel (see 6.8. Main Menu Options on page
23) and via a web browser (see 6.9. Configuration via Web Browser on page 28).
Merging Modes
The device supports the following merging modes:
●
SINGLE:
●
HTP (Highest Takes Precedence): The device will compare the values of the primary and secondary
●
LTP (Latest Takes Precedence):
Product code: 50817
Merging is disabled. The DMX signal is sent to the DMX port from
the primary Art-Net or sACN universe.
universes on the inputs and will send the highest value to the DMX
port for each DMX channel in both universes.
The device will compare the values of the primary and secondary
universes on the inputs and will send the last changed value to the
DMX port for each DMX channel in both universes.
