I believe Resolume is using Artnet -III (can't confirm, @Zoltan, did I guess right on this one? :lol: )
Artnet-III can support almost 33,000. The question is can your system handle it? What CPU are you running and how much system memory do you have? That is a lot of encoding/decoding

You can address 16 Unvierses : 16 Subnets (256 universes) in Resolume per destination IP address. I believe that's Art-net II

There is a software limitation of 1024 Lumiverses in the Advanced output.

Data for a universe is not much, about 200kB/sec at 40FPS, but indeed hard to say what your machine will be able to handle, as the values for the pixels need to be evaluated.

Thanks for reply. So when I have 150 universes x 200kB/sec = 0,03GB/sec, so this shouldnt be problem. Today I am using laptop i7-7500U 2.7GHz / 8GB / 256GB SSD / AMD R7 M445 4GB / Win10, its 2 years old what you think is good enaught to handle with it?

I LOVE this reply. So much info packed in here.
Any chance you could add this information into the "nerds" section of the dmx support page? I know my lampy friends would find this VERY useful :)
