DMX network setup

The console will control up to 64 universes of DMX. You patch fixtures onto one of 64 DMX Lines which may be routed to the XLR sockets on the console or to Art-Net or sACN universes over Ethernet (see DMX Output Mapping for details).

  • If using the T1 / T2 / T3 hardware the output is limited to the first one, two or sixteen universes respectively. A console would normally output up to 16 universes itself, further Titan Network Processors (TNP) units would be connected to the network using TitanNet to control up to 64 universes. For simple programming or rigs with lots of space in the patch you may be able to output more than 16 universes from a console but operating speed may be affected.

Multiple consoles can be linked by Ethernet to provide a multi-user system, or to provide automatic backup.

Go to the System menu (Avo + Disk), press DMX Settings.

Select a Node on the left (where the DMX is going to). On the right, select the DMX line it will be fed by. The small Cog buttons set properties for Nodes/Lines. See DMX Output Mapping.

To change the IP address of the console, press Network Settings on the System menu (see Network Settings).

To change User Settings which let you personalise how the console works, hold down Avo and select User Settings.
