64 MADRIX 3 PLEXUS User Manual / Handbuch
Navigate to the menu 'Network' > 'Art-Net'.
In this menu, the current settings regarding Art-Net, a network protocol for DMX-over-Ethernet,
are shown. More specifically, this menu contains the universe settings. Technically speaking Art-
Net universes range from 0 to 255, but they are displayed on the PLEXUS and in MADRIX from 1 to
256.
'Art-Net -> DMX 1' sets which received Art-Net universe is sent to the first XLR port for DMX
output (DMX 1).
'Art-Net -> DMX 2' sets which received Art-Net universe is sent to the second XLR port for DMX
output (DMX 2).
'DMX 1 -> Art-Net' is used for Art-Net output from stand-alone playback. It defines on which
Art-Net universe the SD card data for port DMX 1 is sent. In this way, it routes the data from
DMX 1 to the specified Art-Net universe.
'DMX 2 -> Art-Net' is used for Art-Net output from stand-alone playback. It defines on which
Art-Net universe the SD card data for port DMX 2 is sent. In this way, it routes the data from
DMX 2 to the specified Art-Net universe.
Please change the Universe according to your requirements or deactivate the option by choosing
'Off'.
'Art-Net -> DMX 1' and 'Art-Net -> DMX 2' specify if incoming Art-Net data is routed to the
corresponding XLR port (DMX 1 or DMX 2) and which Art-Net universe should function as source
for each port. These settings should be activated if you want to connect your MADRIX PC to your
PLEXUS device using network cables. In Live Mode, you would then send data over the network to
the PLEXUS and the PLEXUS outputs the data to each XLR port, where your LED fixtures, LED
controllers, or LED drivers would be connected.
'DMX 1 -> Art-Net' and 'DMX 2 -> Art-Net' specify if the corresponding XLR port is used and if
those incoming values should be broadcasted to the Art-Net network and to which Art-Net
universe it should be sent. This means, the PLEXUS runs a Stand-Alone show and the data is sent
over network (via Art-Net) directly to the LED fixtures or you could convert the data to DMX again
using a signal converter. Data will be sent over Art-Net to the configured Art-Net universe via
Broadcast according to the configured IP address and Subnet mask of the device.
This could also be data from "Test Sending" (see below).
