Data Network

The Data Network is the ‘everything else’ connection.

What should be on the Data Network?

• DMX Control of HIppotizer over ArtNet
• Ma-Net
• CITP
• Remote Management
• TCP or other remote control protocols
• Internet connections
• Pixelmapper output
• Remote wake-up / magic packets

Recommendations and best practice

• ArtNet and Pixelmapper can generate high volumes of Multicast and Broadcast traffic; switches that are capable of handling this is important in larger setups.
• Large pixel-mapping projects should try to use sACN instead of ArtNet due to better traffic handling.
• If connecting to the internet, ensure there is firewall protecting the network
