Send UDP messages to DMX

Dear All,

I am trying to control my DMX spot via UDP signals coming from my BrightSign Player. My DMX Setup includes the ArtNet DMX Stage-Profi 1.1 RDM, which translates the signal to DMX. So I would first send the messages to this ArtNet.

I see that I can connect my ArtNet in Presentation Properties with the UDP Destination Address and the corresponding port. My plan is to then add multiple Video Time Code Events to the presentation with different signals - so that the spot shines blue at second 10, green at second 20 and so on.

The spot in my DMX Setup has 8 channels so I would like to send something like 1,1,0.5,0,0,0,1,0

My main question is HOW exactly do I need to write my message? Simply putting 1,1,0.5,0,0,0,1,0 will probably not work?

Would prefer an option that does not need another device to make it work!

Thank you in advance!

Hi Annette,

You need to follow the Artnet protocol, so before your channels values yo need to add some values.

You can find them at the Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art-Net) but as an example, this is a working artnet command for the channel1: 065,114,116,045,078,101,116,000,000,080,000,014,000,000,001,000,002,000,255,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

Use the 6454 port
