so according to your picture resolume is seeing input from your DMX device. What happens when you go into DMX shortcuts, click on a parameter, and then send a DMX value. Does it matter that shortcuts? If so what's is the specific issue that is not working?

Hi SandroVesti,
There is a problem with the Artnet to DMX converter. The name of your node should appear in : "Source Node Name". What is the model and how do you configure it ?

You have your Channel Offset set to 1, which means Resolume will shift all channel assignments up by 1 and only respond to channel 2 and higher.

Since you're only receiving data on channel 1, you'll have to set the Channel Offset back to 0.

Source Node Name is where you can change the name that this instance of Resolume uses for its own Art-Net node. It has nothing to do with other nodes on the network.

Yes I became every shortcut i click on the DMX device, but when i edit the DMX shortcuts to a movie or clip this one do not react. What influence does the Value have to the numbre which is sent by the dmx device?

It varies from parameter to parameter. If you're using a single channel to trigger a video, anything above a 0 will fire off that cue. If you're moving a brightness slider, then your 0-255 DMX value will become 0-1 or 0-100 for that slider.

To test firing a clip, can you assign DMX address 1 to a clip and then toggle the DMX value from 0 to 255 via your controller? This should get you a playing clip.
