TEMPORARY INSTALLATIONS
The Touring Bracket is designed for temporary
installations and rental applications. It is a
versatile bracket, meant for attachment to truss
or pipes. A VPL Single Touring bracket can carry a
SGM VPL 1220-20 if it is placed no more than 300
mm away from either end of a VPL. (see figure 5).
Figure 5: Bracket guide-line, if the bracket is closer to than
300mm to the edge, two brackets are advised.
SAFETY WIRES
The safety wire should be installed at the highest
point on the VPL to minimize the fall distance.
When installing VPLs in ceilings or any horizontal
plane with people below, make sure to install one
safety wire in both ends of the VPL (see figure 7). If
the fixtures are installed as an extension of each
other, one safety wire can be attached to two
adjacent fixtures (see figure 6).

FRAMES
To create frames and shapes with the VPLs, install the fixtures with enough space for the VP cable to attach to the
next VPL. Figure 8 illustrates the two recommended orientations of the standard VPL 1220-20 and 610-20. Note that
the VPL 305-20 cannot bend a full 90 degree due to the compactness of the fixture's cable. Make sure the installa-
tion is rigid so that the fixtures cannot move and cause extensive wear on the cables. For further information or
suggestions about the VLP and their installation, please contact your local SGM distributor or SGM support at
[email protected]

The VPL is intended to be set up for use prior to programming using the SGM Network Admin software available for
PC. Using the Admin software, the VPL system is designed for easy installation and patching. For detailed instruc-
tions and guidance on setup and configuration, please refer to the SGM Network Admin. The software and manual
for the SGM Network Admin is available at www.sgmlight.com .
It is recommended that any network design and installation be facilitated by personnel trained and experienced
with the programming and use of pixel control products. SGM recommends to always use dedicated professional
networks, instead of standard corporate networks.
VPL NETWORKING GUIDE

19 Product Version 1.0 | Revision A | Released 2023-01-10
NETWORK SETUP
The VPL fixtures can work properly in a wide array of network setups. Depending on the size of your network and
installation, there may be further considerations to effectively manage the data traffic of large scale RGB pixel style
control.
If possible, SGM advises keeping VPL networks separated from general building networks or using VLAN’s to avoid
excess network traffic. Networked data traffic for pixel control is not suitable for typical TCP/IP network settings and
often is not able to be managed effectively with general IT personnel.
VPLs address themselves automatically in the 2.x.x.x /8 range on start-up. This method has been designed to make
setup easier and to optimize the reliability of the system. It is possible to change the IP address if necessary.
The VPL product line receives and transmits information via sACN or Art-Net ethernet protocols. Both are Universal
Datagram Packet (UDP) type protocols. UDP protocol can be networked in the same topology as TCP, but there are
some important considerations for effectively routing and managing UDP in a large full-duplex network.
Art-Net, sACN, and Broadcasting Considerations
sACN and Art-Net are communication protocols developed to transport DMX512 data over an Ethernet network.
Both sACN and Art-Net can utilize Broadcast, Unicast, or Multicast, but there are some important differences in how
they can use these casting types.
Art-Net
By default an Art-Net product will factory start using a Class A IP address scheme in the 2.x.x.x range, since this
allows Art-Net products to communicate directly and without the need for a DHCP server to be connected to the
network. This is also the case of VPLs.
In large installations, especially ones utilizing ACN (Architecture for Control Networks), it is important to note that
Art-Net cannot offset DMX512 universes and cannot be put into different ACN ranges.
sACN
sACN (or ANSI E1.31 – 2016) is primarily intended to use multicast. Network switches have differing levels of support
for multicasting. To handle multicast data correctly, a switch needs to know which multicast subscribers are at-
tached to which of its physical ports. It obtains this information by monitoring IGMP packets. If the switch does not
see these packets, it will either treat the packets as unwanted and block them, or convert the packets to broadcast.
This is important because the maximum number of sACN DMX512 universes is 63,999. An unintended broadcast of
that much data can take down everything connected to the network, large or small.
The VPLs are by default in the 2.x.x.x range but that range can be changed. The network still needs to be configured
to the same range the VPLs are in.
IGMP
Multicast requires some additional network management on the part of the controller and receiver. VPL uses
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) version 3 for this management. In a VPL network, controllers and
connected equipment must support IGMP v3 to manage the subscription of multicast addresses in network routers.

UNIVERSAL DATAGRAM PACKET UDP
UDP is used for entertainment lighting data because it is fast. Speed and timing are critical in creating coordinated,
instant changes in a pixel array. Network infrastructure products such as switches are typically designed for TCP/IP
packet traffic with occasional UDP data. They also expect to see the majority of data as unicast. Lighting control
networks often contain mainly UDP and can contain a significant percentage of broadcast data.
In Full-Duplex networks, The TCP and UDP protocols are part of the IP layer. Both TCP and IP have their own flow
control techniques. However, the TCP and IP methods of flow control are oblivious of each other and having both
enabled on a network can lead to problems. For this reason, many ethernet switch manufacturers ship their prod-
ucts with IP flow control disabled, assuming that TCP will handle its own flow control. That assumption is fair in an
office environment. However, entertainment networks tend to be primarily UDP which does not have any flow
control. SGM recommends to enable IP based flow control if possible.
NETWORK SIZE
SGM does not specify a preferred topology for a network. However, in large networks, the introduction of routers and
extra switches can introduce data delays on the signal path. It is recommended to incorporate a minimum of
devices between the lighting data controller and the VPL installation.
VPLs can make use of Rapid Spanning Tree if desired. However, the above applies if the signal path is lengthened or
routed in a significantly different way in the event of a path change. See later in this manual for details on how
Rapid Spanning Tree is handled.
