Safety information & Maintenance
Read this manual before powering or installing the device, follow the safety precautions listed
below and observe all warnings in this manual.
• Be sure that the local power outlet matches that of the required voltage of the power supply
included with this device.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose the unit to rain or high levels of
moisture.
• Do not spill water or other liquids into or on your unit.
• Do not open the unit as there are no user serviceable parts inside.
• Do not dismantle or modify the unit, as this voids all warranties.

Features
- Integrated SPI Controller Art-Net for led pixels and digital LED strips.
- 16 outputs (each RJ45 have two outputs A-B).
- 50 fps (framerate) 20 mS.
- Configuration through web browser (Accessing the deskontroller's IP).
- Allows the gamma correction setting.
- Simple color, RGB and RGBW color order.
- Configuration Art-Net NET and Subnet by steps 4 universes.
- Data turbo mode (increases led strip data speed up to 50%).
- Custom mode (To manually configure strip times T0H, T1H).
- Configurable number of universes by output.
- Test of individual outputs and pixel by pixel (easier to test led installations).
- Test effects to work stand alone to check installations.
- Art-Net discover (To detect and configure devices in the Art-Net network).
- Art-Net Rx quality (To check the Art-Net signal quality).
- Support synchronization mode.
- Electronics manufactured in Europe under ISO9001
Works with any software or console that supports the Art-Net protocol as MADRIX, Resolume,
MadMapper, Lightjams, Enttec light mapper, Jinx, Mapio, Xlights, Touchdesigner, and others.

Art-Net Network configuration:
Art-Net uses as hardware ethernet networks, their messages use UDP port 6454. There are two
ranges of IPs defined for use: 2.x.x.x/8 and 10.x.x.x/8 (If you connect through a router or a computer
connected to the Internet), the subnet mask should always be 255.0.0.0
The default node IP address is indicated on the label of the controller, if we use a computer as a
controller needs to be set in the same IP range (eg: IP = 2.0.0.1 subnet mask = 255.0.0.0 Gateway =
2.0.0.1)
Recommended to use in the network must be Gigabit Ethernet.
Preferably ethernet network must be exclusive use for Art-Net. There should be no Art-Net network
connection to Internet (because the IP range 2.0.0.0 is also assigned on the Internet), if there is a
router on network with Internet access, the packets sent to addresses Art-Net 2.x.x.x are routed to
Internet, and deskontroller LITE will not work.

deskontroller LITE configuration:
Put your computer on Art-Net Network. IP=2.0.0.1 MASK=255.0.0.0
Connect network cable from your computer to deskontroller LITE Ethernet Art-Net input.
If you have more than one deskontroller LITE, connect it through a Gigabit Ethernet switch.
In your usual web browser, put the deskontroller LITE's IP to access the setup and tools.
Look at the label on the bottom of the deskontroller LITE.
