Continous Artnet streaming...

[enttec]

Artnet box designers never expected the continuous volume of traffic.

Yes, I know and we fell in that trap too.
First versions of the datagate firmware would die if you send more than 12 universes, it never came to us people would be broadcasting 40 universes of artnet.
New versions can handle this a LOT better but it's still prone to missing packets when you get to the upper limit.
With Unicast it's not an issue and never was.
Unfortunately, situations where box manufactures and software designers can talk aren't very common.
So this is good Richard if we know what the other is expecting it allows us to make the whole system work better.
that's my 2 cents any way

Cheers

thanks nicolas.

i appreciate your input.

this stuff gets hammered - and the slightest flaws show up....

most of the shows i do with this stuff are both huge and high profile.
i did a 30 universe show very early on at the wynn hotel in las vegas - and it really really needed to work perfectly the entire time - and it does as far as i know.
i worked with unicast artnet from the very beginning. artnet always supported this.
they use fibre switches, and that kindof thing.

Simon at stage electrics just did a 48 universe show with luminex boxes, and unicast artnet, and reports no problems at all.

We had a client in the US that did a 200 universe !!!! display with datagates, and it worked fine too, there was no visible lag between any of the outputs.

Unicast isn't a problem and scales very well. I guess we just need to get the word out there !
