Resolume Forum

Hi!

I'm using Resolume in a location with a lot of Pixel strips. I currently facing the issue of running into the limitations of Resolume's ArtNet config. It is only possible to set the subnet and universe, but not the net.

Usually it's net(0-128)/subnet(0-15)/universe(0-15) according to ArtNet specification. Unfortunately Resolume only supports Net 0, so I'm limited to 256 universes. This, at first glance seems a lot, but it's not when working with higher res pixel strips.
I'm wondering what the reason for this limitation of only one "net" is. The CPU is still bored even with well over 200 universes and 60fps. Even the NIC and network themselves have pretty low traffic as I unicast only.

I would really appreciate if Resolume could be unlocked to additionally set the net together with the subnet and universe. I use Advatek controllers and Enttec Octos before, they all support full ArtNet adressing up to 128*16*16 Universes.

Thanks!

PS: sACN support for input&output would be great as well, but let's start simple

The reason we dont support Net is quite simple, it didn't exist when we implemented a superset of ArtNet 2. We've never updated to ArtNet 4, so this setting is not there. Keep in mind that ArtNet unicasting doesn't require universe numbers to be unique. You can unicast a universe 1 to device A, and another universe 1 containing other data to device B.

I'm not saying when, but you can expect sACN sooner than ArtNet 4
Would you still need ArtNet 4 if we've got sACN?
