Wireless ArtNet-DMX STAGE-PROFI 1.1 2
Description
The Wireless ArtNet-DMX STAGE-PROFI 1.1 is a compact Art-Net (DMX via
Ethernet) Interface which includes modern ARM
®
-Processor technology.
Furthermore the Wireless ArtNet-DMX STAGE-PROFI 1.1 offers a certified
2.4GHz 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi (FCC, CE, IC, and TELEC) for the direct integration in a
WLAN.
Switchable DMX-Line
The DMX-Line is switchable according to usage. So Art-Net can be realized to DMX
or DMX to Art-Net.
Adjustable DMX-Frame rate
Within the DMX-OUTPUT-MODE the frame rate is adjustable, so this interface is
compatible to “slow” DMX-Devices.
Art-Net Merge-Function
Two Art-Net-Sources will be joined outputted via LTP (Latest) or http (Highest) to the
DMX-Output.
Switched off LED-Display
The LED-Display at the Wireless ArtNet-DMX 1.1 are suppressible via ArtNet-
Command (AcLedMute) or time-controlled.
This is helpful on stages to avoid disturbing “light points”.
Fast launch with WPS
With the WPS-Function the registration to an Access-Point is possible at the touch of
a button. Without an additional installation of encoding, the controlling can be
integrate in existing networks and allows an easy possibility of usage without
additional network activities.
Easy Configuration
For an easy IP-Setting we provide free the IP-Configurator as PC-Tool or Android-
App.
IEEE 802.11 WEP/WPA/WPA2 Encoding
For a safety operation within a WLAN the possibility of using a WEP/WPA/WPA2-
encoding exists. An uncoded operation (OPEN) is possible too.
High-quality and compact performance
The Wireless ArtNet-DMX 1.1 is built in compact aluminium housing with 3pin XLR-
Connection for the DMX-line.
Firmware-Update-Function
To use prospective and further functions the Wireless ArtNet-DMX STAGE-PROFI
1.1 provides an integrated Firmware-Update-Function.

Quick Start with WPS
Please proceed as follows to run the Wirless ArtNet-DMX STAGE-PROFI 1.1 with the
WPS-Function:
-Connect the Wireless ArtNet-DMX STAGE-PROFI 1.1 with the attached power
supply.
-Start the WPS-Function at your Router/Access-Point.
-Push the WPS-Button at the Wireless ArtNet-DMX STAGE-PROFI 1.1 .
The LED flashes blue
-As soon as the LED lights permanently green the connection to your WiFi-
Network is established. The IP is received via DHCP.
-Optionally you can adjust a fixed IP.
See section „Set a fixed IP with IP-Configurator“
- Art-Net details which are sent to the ArtNet-DMX STAGE-PROFI 1.1 are
outputted via DMX. The Default settings are:
Universe: 0
SubNet: 0
Net: 0

WiFi-Settings
The Wireless ArtNet-DMX STAGE-PROFI 1.1 can be configured as WiFi-Client or
P2P-Master.
Client
If the Wireless ArtNet-DMX STAGE-PROFI 1.1 is configured as Client, so the device
registers itself to an Access-Point.
Therefore the network-name must be created under Network name (SSID). The
Security-Mode must be chosen and if necessary the password (Pass phrase) must
be entered.
In this configuration the Security-Mode Open, WPA/WPA2 or WEP (40 or 104)
can be used.
P2P-Master
If the Wireless ArtNet-DMX STAGE-PROFI 1.1 is configured as P2P-Master so a
Client can register itself directly to this per WiFi. So a direct point to point connection
is possible and no access point is needed.
For the WiFi-Connection the channel (Channel) is to assign which should be used.
Each Art-Net-Device, which has the consistent settings for Net, Subnet and
Port/Universe, accept the DMX-Data!

Wireless ArtNet-DMX STAGE-PROFI 1.1 9
Device-Settings
Each device within the network need an own IP-Address, so the assignment occurs
clearly within the network. It can be get automatically per DHCP or set fixed.
Is DHCP active, the IP is get automatically.
Is DHCP not active, the IP and Netmask must adjust manual.
Use in accordance to the ArtNet-Specifications the IP-Address 2.x.x.x or
10.x.x.x . In this case the Netmask must be set to 255.0.0.0 .
Any other IP-Address can also be used e.g. 192.168.1.10 .
In this case the Net-mask has to be fit to 255.255.255.0 !
You can assign each device with any name for a better distinction.
The Short-Name is limited up to 18 signs and the Long-Name up to 64 signs.
Is the option LED Automatic off activated the LEDs at the device are shut off
automatically after 10 minutes operation with permanent network connection.

DMX-Settings
The Wireless ArtNet-DMX STAGE-PROFI 1.1 can be configured as DMX-Output
(Art-Net to DMX) or DMX-Input (DMX to Art-Net).
DMX-Output (Art-Net to DMX)
To use the Wireless ArtNet-DMX STAGE-PROFI 1.1 as DMX-Output-Interface, the
Interface-Mode DMX-Output must be chosen.
The parameters Net, SubNet and Port/Universe specify which DMX-data should be
used.
Framerate specifies the maximal DMX-Frame rate.
Maximum complies the maximal frame rate of ca. 44 fps (Frames/second).
The Merge setting can be adjusted to LTP (Latest) or HTP (Highest).
Via ArtSync/MSync the DMX-output of several Art-Net-devices can be synchronized
by using the Software MADRIX ®
.

Wireless ArtNet-DMX STAGE-PROFI 1.1 11
DMX-Input (DMX to ArtNet)
To use the Wireless ArtNet-DMX STAGE-PROFI 1.1 as DMX-Input-Interface, the
Interface-Mode DMX- Input must be chosen.
The Update-Rate can be adjusted with which the DMX-Input data should be
outputted via Art-Net.
40Hz … 5Hz - The DMX-Data will be outputted with the adjusted transfer rate
On change data - DMX-Data are only transferred if these change
DMX Frame rate - DMX-Data are transferred as soon as a frame is closed.
So the frame rate from the inputted DMX-Signal will be used for
the Update-Rate.
Several actions can be chosen for the DMX-Input in the case of a DMX-Signal
(DMXFAIL).
NO DATA - via Art-Net is no DMX-Input received
HOLD last DMX data - the last data are retained
CLEA all channels to 0% - all DMX-Channels are set to 0
SET all channels to 100% - all DMX-Channels are set to 255
The Art-Net-Parameters Net, SubNet and Port/Universe specify the DMX-Data
source.
Via Art-Net the DMX-Data are sent to the Dest. IP (Destination IP). This is to adjust
in the same way as the Device-IP.
If Broadcast is activated, like in the image, so the DMX-Data are sent per Art-Net in
the whole net work to ALL devices.
Each Art-Net-Device, which has the consistent settings for Net, Subnet and
Port/Universe, accept the DMX-Data!
