Catalyst and Pathway

Wondering if anyone has used Catalyst with any of the Pathway Connectivity Artnet to DMX devices. Does it even work? I know they are "Artnet Compatible", but I'm not sure what they mean by that. I'm trying to assemble all my Catalyst to Artnet to DMX options.

Hi,MINNESOTA MAN :D how are you???.

Never used Personally PATHWAY port but i have seen installed
during my service on ITALIAN "COSTA CONCORDIA" and "COSTA SERENA"
cruises,Pathway port used to encode/decode dmx in a system
composed with WholeHog3+Catalyst+DL1's all connected on
Pathport by PATHWAY (ex Gray Interfaces).

Andrew in europe we use with Catalyst follow Artnet Device:

i have checked Artistic licence ARTNET many different interface
like NetLinx IP/OP to encode/decode 2 universes DMX.

Now is available from Artistic Licence the "CATA-LINX"

http://www.artisticlicence.com/item371.htm

I have checked LUMINEX ETHERNET DMX 2 provide via XLR 5pin conn.
configurable input/output 2 DMX universes.

And LUMINEX WIFI NODE 2 provide 2 universes DMX by ETHERNET wireless.

bye.

are you planing to use PIXELMAD ? if so consider a input and an output converter .

I'm from EU I've no idea what's available in the US market

BTW you don't need such sophisticated toy like "CATA-LINX" it's just too big and 2 expensive (IMO) . Wi-Fi ether . Who want to use Wi-Fi in a real show ? Yack ...

What do you need it's to send an email to Robert Armstrong and ask him if the box does do the job you need .

here is Robert's contact page

I hope this help .

( rumors say that dp8000 it's really near to be released )

Here it is the PathAnswer

The longer answer is that I would recommend running the Catalyst into a 2-port node or a Pathport Uno only. The DMX Manager Plus (4-port node) should work but hasn't been tested yet.

The Artnet Ethernet-receive to DMX needs to be configured using the Pathport Manager version 4 software (free download from our website and very simple to do). Also, I'm assuming the Catalyst is spitting out proper Artnet - I have no way of testing that.

I hope this helps.
