Catalyst v4.1m132 - needs testing

[emilianomorgia]

I haven't had the opportunity to test m132, but I will do so this weekend.
For now I have a doubt concerning DMX channels, driving 14 layers requires 560 channels, I'm using a Hog3PC with the 4 universe DMX output, these can only drive 512 channels per universe.
Am I limited to 12 channels???
How can I solve this??

well first of all 14 layers it's just an option . Catalyst work even with one layer only .

The best DMX interface to control catalyst ( IMO ) it's not the CIB , you can use ARTNET .

With ARTNET you can run zilions of DMX univers in the same cat5 cable .

If you want to run a 14 layers + accessories Catalyst I suggest to get a DMX to ARTNET box like this . http://www.artisticlicence.com/item37.htm

So you can use two different univers .

the cost of this boxes are a fraction of the CIB they work better and they are more handy .


But I repeat , you are not forced to run 14 layers , that's it's only an option .
