Output Routing
There are three sources that can set DMX/Art-Net data:
–Lighting Console
–Recorder
–Show Control
The routing settings enables you to determine on which ports the Lighting Console, Recorder and Show
Control output their data; i.e. the DMX ports, the Art-Net (Ethernet) port or both.
If more than one source is enabled per DMX or Art-net then the data of those sources is merged
together via the Highest Takes Precedence (HTP) principle.
Art-Net
The Art-Net feature in the Art SSC supports 2 universes out and 2 universes in. You can map each of
those universes to any of the 256 available universes in the Art-Net protocol. This number is zero-based,
ranging from 0 up to and including 255.
The broadcast messages sent out by Art-Net do put a certain load on the network, therefore it is
recommended to disable Art-Net when not in use.
Art-Net transmission is switch o> by default, it will be enabled automatically as soon as at least one Art-
Net check-box is enabled in the Output Routing. Reception is permanently enabled for incoming Art-Net
data and poll messages.
Date & Time
You can set the date and time of the Real-Time Clock (RTC) here. The clock is battery back-up in to keep
the time during a power failure.
Location
The astronomical clock in the Art SSC calculates the sunrise and sunset times based on day of the year,
latitude, longitude and UTC values.
The latitude and longitude values de%ne your position in the world and should be entered in degrees.
The latitude value should be positive for North and negative for South, the longitude should positive for
East and negative for West. The website http://www.%ndlatitudeandlongitude.com/ can help you %nd
