MADRIX PLEXUS User Manual / Handbuch50

Navigate to the menu 'Network' 'Art-Net'.

In this menu, the current settings regarding Art-Net, a network protocol for DMX-over-Ethernet,

are shown. More specifically, this menu contains the universes settings. Technically speaking Art-

Net universes range from 0 to 255, but they are displayed on the PLEXUS and in MADRIX from 1 to

256.

Art-Net -> DMX 1 shows which Art-Net universe is assigned to the first XLR port for output (DMX

1).

Art-Net -> DMX 2 shows which Art-Net universe is assigned to the second XLR port for output

(DMX 2).

DMX 1 -> Art-Net shows which Art-Net universe is assigned to the first XLR port for input (DMX

1).

DMX 2 -> Art-Net shows which Art-Net universe is assigned to the second XLR port for input

(DMX 2).

Please change the Universe according to your requirements or deactivate the option by choosing

Off.

Art-Net -> DMX 1 and Art-Net -> DMX 2 specify if incoming Art-Net data is routed to the

corresponding XLR port (DMX 1 or DMX 2) and which Art-Net universe should function as source

for each port. These settings should be activated if you want to connect your MADRIX PC to your

PLEXUS device using network cables. In Live Mode, you would then send data over the network to

the PLEXUS and the PLEXUS outputs the data to each XLR port, where your LED fixtures, LED

controllers, or LED drivers would be connected.

DMX 1 -> Art-Net and DMX 2 -> Art-Net specify if the corresponding XLR port is used for DMX-IN

and if those incoming values should be broadcasted to the Art-Net network and to which Art-Net

universe it should be sent. You can use this option to control the MADRIX software remotely (Art-

Net Remote), for example.

You may change the settings in this menu, on the device (How To Edit Values).

You can also configure the settings in the PLEXUS Configuration dialog using MADRIX. For more

information, see Managing Devices Further.
