Control Studio DMX via Art-Net or sACN Input

To control Studio DMX, you must create a Pro DMX 2 patch with all the fixtures you intend to visualize in the 3D environment. Refer to the Pro DMX 2 manuals for detailed instructions.

Once the patching is complete, launch Studio DMX and navigate to the 3D view by clicking on "Tools" and then "3D".

The software interface displays a 3D representation of a stage setup, with controls for DMX levels, mute, and various fixture types. The interface also includes options for managing presets, cursors, and timelines.

Refer to the Studio DMX manual to create your show.

By Art-Net

To configure Art-Net input settings in Pro DMX 2:

1. Click "Tools" > "Options" > "ARTNET".
2. Select the network card corresponding to your Art-Net installation.
3. Activate the "Merge Dmx In / Dmx Out" option.
4. Activate "Art-net Input".

The Pro DMX 2 interface shows network settings, including the network interface (Ethernet), IP address, and Art-Net specific configurations like SubNet and Ports. It also displays DMX universe levels and fixture status.

You can now send Art-Net data from an external source and observe the results in Studio DMX's 3D environment.

By sACN

To configure sACN input settings in Pro DMX 2:

1. Click "Tools" > "Options" > "SACN".
2. Select the network card corresponding to your Art-Net installation.
3. Choose between "Unicast" or "Multicast".
4. Activate the "Merge Dmx In / Dmx Out" option.
5. Activate "sACN Input".

The Pro DMX 2 interface displays sACN settings, including network interface, IP address, and sACN specific configurations such as Unicast/Multicast selection and DMX universe mapping.

You can now send sACN data from your external source and view the outcome in Studio DMX.

Troubleshooting

If your fixtures are not appearing in Studio DMX after patching in Pro DMX 2, check the Network settings:

• Navigate to "Tools" > "Options" > "Network".
• Select the "Localhost" network card and activate the cube icon for Studio DMX.

The Network options dialog allows configuration of various network interfaces (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Localhost) and protocols (MIDI, Art-Net, sACN). It also includes settings for the "Smartphones server" and UDP ports.

If Art-Net or sACN signals are not received in Pro DMX 2, verify your firewall settings to ensure the following UDP ports are allowed:

• Art-Net: port 6454
• sACN: port 5568
