Streaming Architectural Control Network (sACN) is a protocol for sending DMX data across the Architectural Control Network (ACN) family of protocols. sACN has been developed by a group of lighting industry professionals (ESTA) to improve upon other methods of sending DMX on a network such as Art-Net. sACN has several key advantages over Art-Net including support for multi-casting, controller priority and low processing overhead.
sACN uses the IP address and priority set in Pixelmapper’s network configuration
Universe Number
sACN receivers are addressed based on what Universe they respond to. Set this for each Pixelmapper universe.
| Please Note: sACN relies on multi-cast grouping so disabling network functions such as IGMP snooping can seriously degrade the efficiency of sACN. Careful network planning and management is critical to maximise the amount of data that can be carried. |
