INDEPENDENT UNIVERSES
This setting is only available with firmware versions that appeared before version 1.01. Newer firmware versions provide the same
functionality when the Art-Net version is set to Art-Net 4. The main advantage of the Art-Net 4 support over the obsolete independent univer-
ses functionality is that Art-Net 4 support allows an Art-Net 4 aware controller to properly understand and, if supported by the controller,
configure the port address of each port whether the ports share a common net and sub-net address or not.
Independent Art-Net universes may be enabled and disabled under Home > Menu > Art-Net > Independent Universes. If independent Art-
Net universes are enabled, the ports of the Art-Net node do not need to share the same Art-Net net and sub-net addresses.
When this feature is enabled, each output port has an independent port address in the range of 0 to 32767, which is computed from the Art-
Net net, sub-net and universe number. This allows for configuring the node to any combination of Art-Net universes. However, if the Art-Net
net or the Art-Net sub-net settings are changed (remotely or in the menu), each output port address is recomputed. For more information on
the addressing of the Art-Net ports, see section Representations of Art-Net Port Addresses in the appendix.
Unfortunately, due to restrictions of Art-Net, the node may no longer correctly report the port addresses of its outputs to a controller when
this feature is enabled, which might confuse a controller and lead to problems. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid enabling independent
universes whenever possible.
