    Cool Artnet device

    I have been testing out SandNet boxes for getting Art-net into my catalyst servers. Really cool, small, like a sigarette pack, and really cheap.

    I have been using the EMX 2/10 and the UMX 4. The UMX4 has to work through a PC, but it gives you a great troubleshooting tool when Art-net is Fu**ed up. Have not tested it with Virtual PC yet, will report when i have done so..

    We are using one EMX 2/10 for catalyst, and we have used two for Pixelmad.

    I use a EMX 2/10 - but it doesnt work as a standalone DMX - Artnet converter for me - ie always has to be as part of a Sandnet network to make it work (Sandnet and Artnet work together) despite configuring the box... Most of the time this is ok - as I use Hog PC....

    I would be interested to know exactly how you use the box in standalone mode to convert DMX to Artnet???

    I saw ArtNet running native on a MAC at LDI, i did called SandSys, and they told me 2 things, 1st they are working to release a MAC version, anmd 2nd they are working a product to connect Catalyst using Sand Boxes and Artnet.
    SandNet is great, i have 2 UMX4 boxes, and very happy with those, use with Wysiwyg.. etc... Shows the DMX lines, and other stuff, but to connect the Catalyst or PixelMad, Sand products will need a third software, is not a direct conection like the CIBs and ArtNet devices. But definitly works great.
    Wait to see the MAC SandNet

    The sandnet EMX 2/10 box works great as a stand-alone unit. Just make sure you have the latest firmaware and the latest sandnet to do your setup.
    On my setup i select protocol= Art net. Dmx in on port 1 and i usally do Universe 8. Port is usally set as a loop-throught or disabled.

    I know sandsys are working on a mac version of their software.

    more info on sandnet can be found on www.sandsys.com and www.sandboe.com. contact info for their software writer Yngve Sandboe is yngve@sandboe.com
