Artnet is a industry standard protocol used to control DMX lighting effects over ethernet. Using Art-Net it is possible to connect a very wide range of lighting effects like strobes or dimmer packs. There are tons of DMX controlled effects available on the market (from very cheap and small to very expensive and big). It might sounds a bit crazy, but with Art-net and DMX you could at least in theory control a whole stage lighting system (this would likely make you feel like Tommy in the movie). More...
Public Member Functions | |
| override void | Update () |
| Update triggers sending of the DMX data to the physical ArtNet node. If no updates are required (no channel values have changed) no data will be sent.. More... | |
| override void | Init (Cabinet Cabinet) |
| Initializes the Artnet object. Adds the output objects to the outputcollection of the ArtNet instance and starts the updater thread. More... | |

| ArtNet () | |
| Initializes a new instance of the ArtNet class. More... | |
Protected Member Functions | |
| override void | OnOutputValueChanged (IOutput Output) |
| This method is called whenever the value of a output in the Outputs property changes its value. It updates the internal arry holding the values for the DMX channels of the universe specified. More... | |

Artnet is a industry standard protocol used to control DMX lighting effects over ethernet. Using Art-Net it is possible to connect a very wide range of lighting effects like strobes or dimmer packs. There are tons of DMX controlled effects available on the market (from very cheap and small to very expensive and big). It might sounds a bit crazy, but with Art-net and DMX you could at least in theory control a whole stage lighting system (this would likely make you feel like Tommy in the movie).
To use Art-Net you will need a Art-Net node (unit that converts from ethernet to DMX protocol) and also some DMX controlled lighting effect. There are quite a few different Art-Net nodes available on the market and most of them should be compatible with the DirectOutput framework. For testing the Art-Net node sold by Ulrich Radig as a DIY kit was used.
Each Art-Net node/DMX universe supports 512 DMX channels and several Art-Net nodes controlling different DMX universes can be used in parallel.

This method is called whenever the value of a output in the Outputs property changes its value.
It updates the internal arry holding the values for the DMX channels of the universe specified.
