SACN / E1.31 PRIORITY
At any time if a higher priority sACN stream is received it will take over control a DMX Out channel regardless of other incoming
streams or merging. When an sACN stream is stopped gracefully via a stream terminate message the eDMX port will
immediately revert to whatever other sources are present, otherwise the default stream timeout of 3 seconds applies. If you
want to HTP/LTP merge 2 sACN streams together they must be of the same priority.
SACN / E1.31 PRIORITY – DMX RECEIVE
When a port is configured for DMX Receive sACN operation the RDM Discovery Period parameter doubles up as sACN Priority
since it is otherwise unused. This permits DMX Inputs to generate sACN multicast streams with a specific priority.
DMX512 IN – UNICAST / BROADCAST / MULTICAST
When you feed a DMX512 signal into an eDMX Port configured as DMX In Art-Net the following will determine Art-Net unicast
or broadcast:
1. If Broadcast Threshold = 0 the frame is always broadcast on the IP subnet.
2. If Broadcast Threshold > 0 and number of detected Art-Net II/3 devices "subscribed" to that universe is less than the
threshold the frame is unicast to each device.
3. If Broadcast Threshold > 0 and the number of detected Art-Net II/3 devices "subscribed" to that universe is greater than
the threshold the frame is broadcast on the subnet.
