SHOW PLAYBACK
BASIC OPERATION
Show playback can be initiated through the Controls panel or via network through Art-Net Trigger commands (refer to section
on Art-Net Control).
Steps required to play back a show:
• Select Show number from dropdown dialogue then click Select Show.
• Click Play.
• To stop playback before the show has finished click Stop.
Selecting Playback Merge permits live network streams to be merged in with play back streams or take over depending on sACN
Priority setting. Note that device limitations such as number of merge stream sources still apply regardless of live or playback
source (i.e. you can’t merge 2 live streams with 1 playback stream since 3 streams exceeds the merge source limit). There are no
limits on the number of different sACN Priority streams and a scenario might be looped playback at priority 99 which is
overridden by a lighting console at priority 100 (when present) which is overridden by an iPad at priority 101 (when present).
PLAYBACK TRIGGERING
A dedicated Playback Trigger Universe can be enabled. This is independent from any configured universes for DMX512 or Pixel
outputs. Typically, this universe would be broadcast or multicast to multiple devices for synchronized playback triggering from a
lighting console or other Art-Net/sACN source however unicast is also supported.
Configuring a node port for DMX-IN on the same universe as the Playback Trigger Universe permits a DMX512 source to trigger
show playback.
