Many dmx layers on different Artnet Universes

Hi there.

I'd like to use Millumin to stream video onto many pixel strips which exceeds 1 dmx universe (512 values).

first of all, is it possible to control more than 512 dmx channels through Millumin?

Lets say I have 2 strips composed by 100 RGB leds each (300 dmx channels footprint, 600 ch totals) is it possible to have 1 dmx layer on Artnet universe 0 (dmx universe 1, ch 1 - 300) and another dmx layer on Artnet universe 1 (dmx universe 2 ch 1-300?

thanks!

    It is possible with Art-Net use.

    Thanks for your reply.

    with that monitor view I can better understand the channels distribution system within artnet universes.

    but. is it possible to custom arrange the assignation channel / universe?


    lets say I want to have 2 strips on 2 dmx universes:

    • strip n.1 on dmx layer 1, 400 channels footprint patched on artnet universe 0, starting address 001
    • strip n.2 on dmx layer 2, 400 channels footprint patched on artnet universe 1, starting address 001 (intead of having it starting address 401 art net universe 0 as by default)

    would it be possible?


    thanks!

    I just found a workaround to do it.

    when patching the second dmx layer to dmx channel 512 (having the "skip last channel" option ON) it automatically patches it at the next art net universe channel 001.

    will test it today with hardware.

    Hello @albertospad,

    Yes, you can have a single DMX-layer for you 200 RGB leds if continuous. Or 2 DMX-layers if not continuous. More info in this article.

    Best. Philippe
