Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Art SSC and Art IO. This manual discussing setting up the units and
programming the lighting cues, show-control-actions and various other features.
The Art SSC and Art IO share for a large part the same functionality. When discussing those functions
this manual will refer to the 'device'; this means both the Art SSC and Art IO.

Art SSC

The Art SSC is solid-state lighting controller, designed without any moving parts, it is build for reliability
and durability.
The unit is aimed at providing a control solution for
(semi-)permanent lighting projects. The Art SSC primary
control signal is DMX-512, the protocol used for
entertainment, theatre and most LED lighting %xtures.
Next to DMX-512 this controller also supports a range of
other protocols; allowing communication with various
other equipment.
An internal web-server provides the web-interface through which you can program the Art SSC. A
modern browser is required to access this web-interface during set-up. A browser or computer is not
required for standalone use after the set-up.
It features:
–2 independent, optically isolated DMX-512 outputs
–optically isolated DMX-512 input
–MIDI in, through and out (with MTC support)
–SMPTE time-code input
–GPI port with 4 contact closures
–Ethernet port with support of Art-Net, OSC & UDP
–Lighting controller with 256 cues
–DMX-512 and Art-Net recorder with 16 memories
–Real-time clock scheduling
–eTouch compatibility

Art IO

The Art IO is an expansion module in the Art SSC. It o>ers interfacing to digital and analogue inputs and
digital outputs and supports various protocols like DMX, RS-232, OSC, UDP and Art-Net.
The Art IO features 8 inputs that can be individually
con%gured as digital or analogue input. The 8 outputs on
the Art IO are relay-switched and can handle 3 Amp. The
digital outputs can be used to switched various other
devices like A/V equipment, blinds or heavy-duty relays.
Additionally, the Art IO is %tted with a DMX-512 port that
can be con%gured as input or output, and a bi-directional
