Visual Productions Goes Art-Net
As an alternative to the DMX Output of their lighting software, Visual Productions’ Canvix dedicated matrix controller and VisualDMX lighting controller are also capable of transmitting the fixtures’ data through the Art-Net protocol. The Art-Net Dongle unlocks the Art-Net output in Canvix and VisualDMX and is available in various sizes, e.g. 2, 4 and 8 universes, also allowing for future capacity upgrades.
The Art-Net protocol is very well suited for configurations with many universes and thousands of DMX channels. A typical application for Canvix is a 50 x 25 LED matrix where in the past you would need to connect a large number of USB connected DMX Outputs to your computer. The Art-Net dongle now saves this complexity and gives more efficient control. With a large number of universes, the Art-Net communication uses noticeably less computer resources then USB communication.
The dongle is a useful tool for designers as many 3D lighting visualisers are Art-Net enabled. The Art-Net Dongle will enable them to visualize VisualDMX and Canvix lighting designs in third-party applications such as Martin ShowDesigner, Cast WYSIWYG (using Wygalizer), ESP Vision and Capture.
