QUICK SETUP & OPERATION

Connecting with the Web Configurator The Picturall Pro Mark II uses standard ethernet LAN networking. To access the Web Configurator, connect a computer to the Picturall Pro Mark II using the Ethernet cable. Then on your computer, open an internet browser and enter the IP address of the Picturall Pro Mark II (displayed on the front panel screen).
The connection should start.
Often, computers are set to DHCP client (automatic IP detection) mode. You may need to change the IP address configuration on your computer before you can connect. These settings are found in the properties for your LAN network adaptor, and vary by operating system. The default IP address on the Picturall Pro Mark II is 192.168.2.140 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0. Therefore, you can assign your computer a static IP address of 192.168.2.100 and a netmask of 255.255.255.0 and should be able to connect.

If the connection is not starting: · Mark II media servers require 1GB network to
maintain a stable connection. Network will not work with 100Mb connection. · Make sure the computer IP address is on the same
network and subnet as the Picturall Pro Mark II.
· Make sure that no devices have the same IP address (prevent IP conflicts) · Make sure the network cable is CAT5 or higher. · For more information, please see the user manual
or contact your local technical support.
Once successfully connected, the Web Configurator is displayed automatically.

WEB CONFIGURATOR
SERVER CONFIGURATION
- Launch a web browser and enter the server IP address in the address bar. All devices default IP addresses are 192.168.2.140. - Click Configure server or Configurator to access server configuration.
Set server settings: - Number of layers: Set the number of layers to use and patch to Art-Net (max 200). This affects the number of available layers in Picturall Commander. - Max layer width and height: Set the maximum resolution to be processed by the media server.
NETWORK CONFIGURATION
In the Server configuration menu, choose the network mode: - Automatic (DHCP): The server gets IP address from DHCP server in the same network - Automatic (ARTNET): The IP address is generated based on the Art-Net protocol - Manual: Set the IP address and netmask manually

DISPLAY CONFIGURATION
In the Display configuration menu, choose the display mode: - Auto: follow EDID settings - Manual: set the output resolution, refresh rate and connectors manually - Custom: select a custom display configuration - Special: select a preset mode for display signal splitters (Analog Way DPH104, Matrox TH2GO and DH2GO, Datapath X4 and FX4)
In Manual mode, select the output connectors, resolution and refresh rate for the selected GPU.
Note: Do not use multiple display devices with different refresh rates as this may cause bad playback (stuttering).
Tip: If using identical displays, use the buttons Copy, Paste and Copy to all.

DMX CONFIGURATION
In the DMX configuration menu, choose the DMX/Art-Net settings: - Art-Net universe: Set the first universe and the rest of the layers will be patched to next universes. If patching more than 9 layers, the server will use several Art-Net universes. - Art-Net subnet: Set the Art-Net subnet value (between 0 and 15). - Art-Net offset: Set the first channel of the first universe for layer 1. - DMX profile: Set the preferred DMX fixture profile (1.1, 1.0 or mini). - Number of DMX displays: Enter the number of the displays controlled with DMX t as the active displayed plug. (Not necessarily displayed).
Layers are patched first starting from a given offset on a given universe. Layers are patched so that they do not split at the universe border.
