Automatic HTP Merging
Overview
§
MADRIX NEBULA features automatic HTP merging from 2 Ethernet sources.
[Usually, the first source will be MADRIX 5. The second source could be a console, for example.]
§
Data from both source will be merged together and sent out as 1 signal. This happens across all 8 output ports
and by using the HTP principle.
§
HTP
- Is the acronym for Highest Takes Precedence. Data from both sources will be compared for each
individual channel. The higher value wins per channel.
§
Sources can be:
- 1x Art-Net + 1x Art-Net
- 1x Art-Net + 1x sACN
- 1x sACN + 1x sACN
Configuration And Recommendations When Merging Art-Net
1]
Correctly set up and enable Art-Net for each source.
2]
Make sure to activate
ArtSync
for Art-Net in MADRIX 5. Learn more
3]
Make sure that MADRIX 5 has a
lower IP address
compared to the second source.
[E.g., 2.0.0.1 compared to 2.0.0.20]
4]
Always use
Unicast Mode
in MADRIX 5 to directly send data to the correct IP addresses of your MADRIX
NEBULA devices.
[It is not recommend to have any of the two sources or any other source in the network to send data via Broadcast
Mode.]
Daisy-Chain Support
§
MADRIX NEBULA features 2 separate Ethernet network ports in its second generation [hardware revision/model:
NEBULA V1.2]. Either one is fully functionally for IN and OUT and can be used for the data connection without
using a separate network switch or router.
