hello there I did'n t find any help about artnet
so what's the configiration..?
this is mine
IP: 2.0.0.2
MASK: 255.0.0.0
MAC: 12:45:78:98:34:76
Gateway IP: 192.168.0.1
for my artnet device that works perfectly on vector pc and sunlite fc official
ip pc 2.0.0.100
255.0.0.0
in freestyler set up..???
network adapter ?
broadcaster ??
thanks at all

ok seems nobody use artnet..

What exactly is the question?

The art-net device must be on the same network, with a different address from the same address range, and the appropriate subnet. If there is no network router then the PC will also need a static IP address.
You can choose art-net, and which network adapter to use from the freestyler preferences screen.

ok thank u for the reply..
now I'm going to try all the possibilieties
the fact is that meanwhile for Vector and sunlite 2 fc works perfectly I don't find the right combination with
freestyler..a tutorial example would be appreciate..
thnx anyway

ok my ip pc 2.0.0.150 freestyler set: network adapter= 2.0.0.150
subnet mask 255.0.0.0 broadcast address=2.0.0.4
my artnet device :
source ip= 2.0.0.2
gateway ip=192.168.0.1
subnet mask=255.0.0.0
MAC ADDRESS=42:45:78:98:34:76
virtual ip=2.0.0.3
input ip=2.0.0.1

doesnt work... so what's wrong with these setting..?

It might be easier to get an answer if you could explain your network setup (e.g. Direct cable connection to Artnet device? Wireless? Wired through a hub or router?).

Just as importantly knowing the actual make and model of the Artnet device would be useful too.

yes
direct cable connection to artnet device of 6 dmx out

What is the make/model of the Artnet device? Or could you post a link to it?

Also, there is usually an OEM code which is used with the MAC address in Artnet IP address calculations (see here http://www.artisticlicence.com/WebSiteM ... rt-net.pdf for details ). This document contains everything you could ever want to know about Artnet terminology, calculation and deployment.

Ok, so 'broadcast address' in freestyler needs to be same as Artnet devices address (eg. 2.0.0.2) so it gets sent to right place.

The 3 drop down boxes (net, subnet, universe) need to match whatever you have selected in the Artnet devices setup screen under the port number that you wish to plug into. Likely all zero's for the first port but probably best to check just in case.


Edit.
Please note with class A addresses (eg 2.0.0.2 subnet 255.0.0.0) you need to NOT be on a network with an Internet connection.
You can use standard 192.168.x.x / 255.255.255.0 class C if you wish to do that.

ok thank u v m
I'll try again tonight

ok no way even with broadcast address 2.0.0.2..
uot about network adapter..?

And the net / subnet / universe (3 drop down boxes in freestyler) exactly match the settings under the port 0 tab in Artnet device setup (or whichever port connector you are using)?

I ask because I have seen that device before, and know the defaults were 0/0/0 for the first dmx output (port zero), 0/0/1 for the second, etc and you have selected 0/1/1 in your screenshot.

ok now it's start to work at least I got a kind of connection..
the artnet led flashing very slow and the lights on visualiser connected via dmx keepon strobing..
but at least we got a result
I think I need to match some other codes,..
thank u anyway

Your broadcast address is wrong, leave the x in the address, the base address is plugged in automatically.

ok thanks to all of u
in conclusion I tried all the combination with no result.. the art net goes strobing..
meanwhile with sunlite 2 and vector on pc works fine..
I think the problem is freestyler..
