So when flashing all fixtures to full white that can be one update and the releasing of the fashbutton would be another.

If for some reason the output node fails to receive the lastest value it keeps outputting the value it had before. (Artnet protocol requires an update only every 4 seconds if values don´t change - so that is fine on the pixelmad side)

It seems that the ELC DMXlan nodes8 are not fast enough to read all updated information of the broadcast.
its 10BT thats the problem. which is why you have to route the data to individual ip addresses. it doesnt support the bandwidth required.

cant say i ever recommend the elc devices prefer luminex-
www.luminex.be

60 Universe setup with broadcasted Artnet
it does work at 25/30fps. it has to really. my users wouldnt be very happy otherwise

more than 4 output universes - I don´t think so - so how should a node with 8 outputs respond
artnet only supports 4 output universes per device.
if you have more than this the boxes give themselves 2 ip addresses. this is what luminex does - i think... not rocket science...
