If you enable the Art-Net protocol in the Universes tab of Setup, any Art-Net
devices ZerOS can see will be displayed in the Devices tab.
In this image, Zero 88 Gateway 4 can be seen by ZerOS. This is how
most Ethernet to DMX gateways (sometimes referred to as “nodes”) will be
displayed in Devices.
In the panel header of an Art-Net device, the name of the device will be
displayed, along with the IP address. The name of the device can be
customised, by clicking on the name field in the device’s panel. This is very
useful if you have multiple gateways in different locations.
You can also remotely configure the individual DMX Output ports of
the gateway using the “Outputs” fields. This allows you to choose which Art-
Net universe that physical port will output. For example, you may configure
all the ports to output Art-Net universe 1.
With some Ethernet to DMX Gateways, such as Gateway 4 and Gateway 8, you can
remotely configure whether the port outputs sACN or Art-Net data. This allows
you to use the sACN standard for your DMX over Ethernet, and then just use
Art-Net for configuration and monitoring. This is configured with the switch
at the bottom of the Output port configuration window, if your particular
Ethernet to DMX gateway has this capability.
