higher temperature.
•In case of a serious operating problem, stop using this product immediately!
In the unlikely event that your Chauvet product may require service, contact Chauvet
Technical Support.
Expected LED
Lifespan
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time, primarily due to heat. Packaged in clusters,
LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal, single-
LED conditions. For this
reason, using clustered LEDs at their fullest intensity significantly reduces the LEDs’ lifespan.
Under normal conditions, this lifespan can be 40,000 to 50,000 hours. If extending this lifespan
is vital, lower the operating temperature by improving the ventilation around the product and
reducing the ambient temperature to an optimal operating range. In addition, limiting the overall
projection intensity may also help to extend the LEDs’ lifespan.

Signal Connections
The NEXT NXT-1 can receive DMX, Art-Net™, or Kling-Net signal. The NEXT NXT-1 has 2
Neutrik® etherCON® through ports, and 3- and 5-pin DMX In and Out ports.
For more
information about DMX, read the DMX primer at:
http://www.chauvetlighting.com/downloads/DMX_Primer_Rev9_ML_WO.pdf
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.
Art-Net™ designed by and copyright Artistic Licence Holdings Ltd.
The NEXT NXT-1 will only respond to unicast Art-Net™ signals. The product does not
support multicast.
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.
ArKaos Kling-Net does not support the pan and tilt functions, and must be paired with
DMX for full functionality with the NEXT NXT-1.
Connection
Diagram
The three LED indicators in between the Neutrik® etherCON® ports indicate a connection
to a network and activity on that network. They do not indicate whether or not the
NEXT NXT-1 is receiving a signal from a controller.

119-channel mode: 394.
** - In Art-Net™ modes, the beginning of the IP address is set by the Net setting, to either:
•2, for Net setting 0,
or
•10, for Net setting 1.

Net Address
The Net setting on the NEXT NXT-1 determines the first number in the IP address.
To configure the Art-Net™ Net address for the NEXT NXT-1, follow the instructions below:
Press <MENU/ESC> repeatedly to reach the main level of the display menu.1. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select ArtNet Setup.2. Press <ENTER>.3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select Net.4. Press <ENTER>.5.

Press <ENTER>.7.
Net addresses higher than 1 have no function and are reserved for future use.
Subnet Address
The Subnet address in Art-Net™ adds 16 to the Universe address for each Subnet integer. To
calculate the actual Universe setting, take the Subnet value, multiply it
by 16, and add the
Universe value.
For example, to set Universe 200, set the Subnet address to 12 (12x16=192) and the Universe
to 8.
To configure the Art-Net™ Subnet address for the NEXT NXT-1, do the following:

Use <UP> or <DOWN> to increase or decrease the starting address, from 1–512.6.
Art-Net™ and DMX Configuration
In ArtNet+DMX mode, the NEXT NXT-1 will respond to a DMX controller and an Art-Net™
console simultaneously. For this to work correctly, the following must be observed:
•DMX values from the DMX controller must not interfere with the Art-Net™ signal.
For example: if Art-Net™ is controlling the LED output, no DMX channel that affects the
LEDs should be set to any value other than zero.
•For compatibility with pixel mapping software that does not account for pan, tilt, or master
dimmer functions, the DMX Personality must be set to either <106CH> mode or < 81CH>
mode. (See DMX Personality.)
Kling-Net and DMX Configuration
In KlingNet+DMX mode, the NEXT NXT-1 will respond to a DMX controller and a Kling-Net
console simultaneously. Only the DMX starting address must be configured for this mode. All
settings and functions other than pan and tilt will be controlled by the Kling-Net console.
