Universes Detail

Each device in the protocol list corresponds to a single universe of received data. One device is required for each universe to be used.

What settings are required depends on the type of Universe.

Art-net

Net

Art-net 3 functionality allowing for additional universes to be addressed, each Net can carry 16 SubNets (0-15)

SubNet

A group of 16 universes (0-15).

Universe

Corresponds to an individual DMX universe.

*Hippotizer addresses Art-net universes starting from 0 (as defined in the specification), which can lead to confusion as universe 0 is the first universe and will frequently be numbered one in lighting controllers. The same logic applies to Subnets and Nets.

In order to calculate the universe number, multiply the subnet by 16 and add the universe number, taking into account the fact that universe zero is actually one.

For example, universe 43 works out to the 2nd subnet (16 × 2 = 32) and the 11th universe (43 – 32 = 11). Which would be subnet 1, universe 10.

Streaming ACN

sACN only requires a Universe number which will be combined with the IP address of the interface

GrandMA V2.9

A universe number for each MA-Net universe is required. The Session number and IP will be taken from the protocol of Ma-Net.
