Artnet connection issues Martin ether2dmx

[Mr_P]

Hi Dave

Hope all is well in Christchurch.

Would suggest totally resetting the ether2dmx box.

Being a martin piece of kit, check the DMX polarity - you may need to phase change t if its old 3 pin style... this may be why you don't see any values?

Also configure one of the outputs to the same as the DMX input universe - so that you can check with a DMX tester to see if the unit is functioning correctly. This should also flag up if phase change is necessary.

Bear in mind that Martin also use 1base HEX. ie:
Decimal 1 = Hex 0, Decimal 2 = Hex 1 Decimal 16 = Hex f etc...

You seem to have everything set up correctly on the mac and in catalyst as discussed...
check out the ether2dmx manual:

Hi Simon,

Sorry so long to reply. Has been an interesting week here. I tried after our initial conversation to reset the box, and messed about with settings to no avail. I had to move on in the end and had no trouble connecting to an enttec artnet device. Thanks for your help and you too Richard.

thanks-

artnet is actually really simple - which is what should and does usually make it easy to work with-

it should just work-

there are as few requirements as possible-

so when it doesnt it usually something wrong with boxes themselves or cables or network interference.
