ShowNet Network DMX

Note: Network DMX uses Broadcast communications to a SubNet address derived from the console's IP address
Your console can connect directly with any Strand Lighting ShowNet Network, transmitting levels to other Strand
Lighting ShowNet-enabled Nodes or Dimmer Racks that are part of that Network.
To set up the ShowNet configuration, press the [PATCH] key of the console.
When In the patch screen, the top left hand pane is the Setup. On new shows, the DMX outputs on the back of your
console hardware are mapped to Outputs 1 through 1024. You can configure the Output Devices by clicking the [+]
sign to expose the Output Device options.
Double click on the cell to the right of ShowNet. From the drop down list, select the number of universes that you
wish to send over ShowNet. Here you can select up to 20 universes (10240 DMX channels).
In the ShowNet XDMX Start cell, enter the starting point where this information will appear on the network. This
information is entered as logical network universe numbers, rather than as discrete NetSlots.
Notes:
• Where the XDMX start address is omitted, the system defaults to sending the levels commencing at ShowNet Net-
slot 1.
• Where you are to be using multiple consoles on a Strand ShowNet network, you should select different ShowNet
XDMX Start values for each console to avoid any conflicts.
• Where more than one Universe is being sent over ShowNet, Palette can be configured to send the data over mutli-
ple XDMX start addresses. This is done by entering the XDMX start as a comma separated list.
The following example sends the first three universes from the Patch over the network.
