Record ArtNet Controller

ArtNet Record and Playback

  High-speed recording of Art-Net lighting data

  Record the Art-Net data sink from uplink ethernet port and forward it to the downlink port

  The recorded file can be playback and controlled by DMX console or sync with Audio or schedule to play.

RDM . Easily Manage DMX Fixtures

  RDM (Remote Device Manage) is a fast way to manage fixtures. Through the RDM, quickly to discovery out the fixtures connected at DMX bus, and then set/get fixture's parameters.

  The discoveried fixtures is tabulated listed on the WEB page.

RDM Over Art-Net

  As an agent, LNX-378 supports Art-Net software or master controller to remotely manage the RDM fixture be connected.

RDM DMX LED Controller
DMX Convert To ArtNet

DMX To ArtNet

  LNX-378 has ArtNet Controller mode,when run in this mode,input DMX data and translate to ArtNet data to send out through ethernet, Generally there are the following two application scenarios:

Inputs DMX from console, converts and outputs ArtNet data to 3D lighting simulation software such as WYSIWYG, Easy View 3D, LightingStudio, etc. to simulate the operation of the lighting.

Where when Long-distance transmission of DMX512 is required, the traditional DMX transmission distance is limited. After being converted to ArtNet, use the optical fiber network to easily break through the distance of tens of kilometers and has strong anti-interference.

Sync the Rhythm of Music

  LNX-378 can quickly analyze audio signals in real time, extract rhythm points in the music, and sync the lighting effects through rhythm points:

Rhythm point triggers to switch SD playback files

  The SD file can be a recorded ArtNet effect file, or an effect file generated by using LnxEffect software.

Rhythm point triggers accelerated playback

  When each rhythm is detected, quickly adjust and increase the playback frame rate to achieve synchronization.

Brightness follows audio intensity
