Select the Ethernet connection.

This will prompt a new window.

Select Properties


At this point, note the name of your adapter, which is mentioned under Connect using. In this case, the adapter is called "Killer e2400 Gigabit Ethernet Controller". Try not to think about Skynet and the machines taking over. Happy thoughts.

Select TCP/IPv4 and open its Properties. This will prompt yet another window.

Copy the exact same values as given below.

IP address should be = 2.0.0.1

Press Ok and close everything. 

Configure Arena

Open Resolume Arena 6.

Go to Application -> Preferences -> DMX

Press New Input to create a new Lumiverse.

At the bottom, make sure you have the right Network Adapter selected. You'll want to use your Ethernet cable. Remember Skynet? Arnie remembers.

Configure GrandMa2

Select Network Protocols

Choose Create Session

Make sure you have the right Subnet and Universe settings. Resolume defaults to Subnet 0 and Universe 0, so make sure that those are set on the GrandMA2 as well.

Activate Art-Net Output Active

Testing testing 1-2-3

Go back to Resolume's DMX Preferences panel.

In the top right corner you see a circle with a play button - click on it to fold out the Art-Net Monitor. When sending Art-Net to Resolume, the Art-Net Monitor will tell you if you are indeed receiving anything. 

You are now ready and set to go and set up your own DMX Shortcut preset. Or maybe you're lucky and someone else has shared their own DMX Shortcut preset
