Are you trying to merge data to a fixture? or trigger something in programming?
Artnet Merge is just an artnet input in setup in network protocols It goes straight to the fixtures.
To trigger you setup a remote input. The MA facebook group is also pretty nice and are great for getting to that next step.
100% !!
MA Group is who to ask for this one, as it can be pretty tricky, AND, you can quickly destroy a LD's day and show file patch if you don't do it correctly.
The only time I've done this was having the MA control Resolume, then having Resolume spit out fixture DMX pixel maps back into the MA, and then having the MA pull color value only out of that data and merge it back on top of the currently patched fixtures.
This allowed for the LD to control the position and dimmer but had the color be driven off the content being played on the Video wall (he also made an offset to have the color changed by thirds as well)
I would hit up FB or the MA forums on how to properly set this up.
