Art-Net is a communication protocol to control lightning and other DMX devices over the network.
To connect to the network you want Art-DMX messages send to, you need open the Preferences and select the Art-Net tab.
After you connected to the network, Vezér will start to try discover Art-Net nodes on that network, and those will be listed with their configurations like IP address, current Subnet and Universe as well as the Device Name and others - but this is only for getting a detailed view of the Art-Net nodes on the selected network.
Vezér operates with virtual output nodes - each of this outputs have a name which should be unique, and assigned to a Subnet and Universe. You can create maximum 256 outputs - 16 Subnets with 16 Universes on each. You can change the name of each virtual nodes as well as the destination Subnet and Universe.
There is an option to auto-configure virtual nodes from the the discovered nodes - this action will create a virtual output for all the discovered nodes, with the proper Subnet and Universe settings.
On Art-Net Tracks, the virtual outputs show their Subnet-Universe settings right after their name.
Vezér should be compatible with all Art-Net interfaces, but this ones are tested and fully working:
- ENTTEC OpenDMX Ethernet
- DMXKing eDMX1
- Showjockey SJ-DMX-E2
- Showjockey SJ-DMX-E4
- Vezér using broadcast to send Art-DMX messages.
