Signal Connections
You can link the Maverick MK Pyxis to a controller or controller software using a DMX connection, an Ethernet
connection, or both. If using other Art-Net™, sACN, or Kling-Net -compatible products with the Maverick MK Pyxis, you
can control each individually on a single network. See the User Manual for information about how to connect and
configure the product for these signals.

Art-Net™ Connection
Art-Net™ is an Ethernet protocol that uses TCP/IP which transfers a large amount of DMX512 data using an Neutrik®
etherCON® RJ45 connection over a large network. An Art-Net™ protocol document is available from
www.chauvetprofessional.com. Chauvet Professional recommends using unicast Art-Net™ for best results.
Art-Net™ designed by and copyright Artistic Licence Holdings Ltd.
sACN Connection
Also known as ANSI E1.31, Streaming-ACN is an Ethernet protocol that uses the layering and formatting of Architecture
for Control Networks to transport DMX512 data over IP or any other ACN compatible network. ACN is maintained by the
Professional Lighting and Sound Association (PLASA).
Kling-Net Connection
Kling-Net is a network protocol that allows auto configuration of display devices using a Neutrik® etherCON® RJ45
Ethernet connection. Refer to the ArKaos software manual for detailed instructions on programming this product.
For smooth-running operation, ArKaos Kling-Net requires a gigabit (1000 Mbps) Ethernet card
and network router.
ArKaos Kling-Net will only run Standard Pixels or Basic Pixels mode.
RDM (Remote Device Management)
Remote Device Management, or RDM, is a standard for allowing DMX-enabled devices to communicate bi-directionally
along existing DMX cabling. The Maverick MK Pyxis supports RDM protocol that allows feedback to monitor temperature
and changes to menu options. Download the User Manual from
