Sending and receiving Artnet on same NIC
Posted: Fri Nov 30, 2018 17:14
I have an interesting control issue:
I'm sending Artnet to some LED tubes which I have pixel mapped in Resolume via the computer NIC (PC network interface card). There is one Art Net node (Elation E-Node, 8 port) attached to LED tubes via PC NIC, and then out to a simple, un-managed network switch. Also, on the same network switch, I am merging Artnet from a lighting console(which has merge options). All of this works great!
However I also want to SEND Artnet back into Resolume from the same lighting console on the SAME network to trigger clips from DMX channels I've patched (simple on/off non-dim channels). I'd had mixed results with this and perhaps I don't understand fully how Artnet is implemented within Resolume.
Question: Can the PC NIC outputting Resolume pixel map stream also RECEIVE Artnet from lighting desk on the SAME above mentioned network? It doesn't appear within Resolume a way to assign more than a single NIC card for Artnet, otherwise I would add another one (NIC) then route Artnet output network on one, and assign the Artnet input (to trigger Resolume from desk) on the other.
Note: I would use MIDI, OSC however this desk only allows receive, not transmit of these protocols. In another pixel mapping app, I was able to just add a DMX input interface (Enttec DMX pro) on one of the USB ports on the Pixel map PC and simply connect my desk to just the universe with 5-pin DMX cable (thus isolating it from Artnet traffic going out of PC to tubes). Again perhaps I don't fully understand the implementation of Artnet and what is and isn't supported within Resolume.
