Section 3: Operation
NOTE: Hardware termination is recommended, because software termination is only in place when the
projector has AC applied. If there are cases where the network is required to be terminated without AC
applied to the last projector, then a hardware terminator should be used
• ArtNET Universe: For DMX512, each universe represents a separate electrical circuit (up to 512 devices/
channels). For ArtNET however, 'DMX' data is broadcasted over an Ethernet network, so every device will
receive every packet of data, whether they belong to that universe or not. This control specifies which
universe the projector belongs to, so it can filter out all other data packets. The Universe applies to ArtNET
only, and does not apply to the DMXC input card.
• ArtNET Subnet: This is the highest level address in an ArtNET network, providing expandability beyond
the universe level. This control specifies which ArtNET subnet (group of universes) the projector belongs to.
The Subnet applies to ArtNET only, and does not apply to the DMXC input card.
• Input Noise Filter: The Input Noise Filter eliminates DMX/ArtNET input oscillation, which can occur on
some DMX control boards. This can cause fine resolution controls (e.g. Lens, Brightness) to continually
change. A filter setting of 0 will turn off the filter; a setting of 1 will filter +/- 1 step changes, etc. Using this
filter will decrease the fine control precision of some slider controls. By default this filter is set to 0 (Off). It
is not recommended to use this feature unless you are experiencing problems with your DMX input.
• Host Name: This will be used to respond to ArtNET polling queries. "Christie" will be the short name,
"Christie_HostName" will be our long name. By default the host name is composed from the projector name
and serial number. (Default = "<unit name>_<serial no>").
NOTE: The Host name is also defined at Configuration > Communications > Ethernet Settings > Host
Name.

3.7.11SNMP - Submenu

The M Series SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol) interface provides network administrators with a
common way to manage their network devices from a
single remote location. SNMP allows an administrator to
query a number of devices to see their current status/
configuration. It also allows operators to change
configuration values and configure trap notifications to be
sent when certain events occur.
The SNMP menu can be accessed from:
Configuration > Communications > SNMP
Controls
Operators are able request the current state of the following controls:
• Power
• Main Input
• Channel
• Lamp Life
• Shutter
• Host Name
• IP Address
