This plugin creates a single device with four input and four output ports
and supports Art-Net, Art-Net 2 and Art-Net 3.
Art-Net limits a single device (identified by a unique IP) to four input and
four output ports, each bound to a separate Art-Net Port Address (see the
Art-Net spec for more details). The Art-Net Port Address is a 16 bits int,
defined as follows:
| Bit 15 | Bits 14 - 8 | Bits 7 - 4 | Bits 3 - 0 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Net | Sub-Net | Universe |
For OLA, the Net and Sub-Net values can be controlled by the config file.
The Universe bits are the OLA Universe number modulo 16.
| Art-Net Net | Art-Net Subnet | OLA Universe | Art-Net Port Address |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 0 | 0 | 15 | 15 |
| 0 | 0 | 16 | 0 |
| 0 | 0 | 17 | 1 |
| 0 | 1 | 0 | 16 |
| 0 | 1 | 1 | 17 |
| 0 | 15 | 0 | 240 |
| 0 | 15 | 15 | 255 |
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 256 |
| 1 | 0 | 1 | 257 |
| 1 | 0 | 15 | 271 |
| 1 | 1 | 0 | 272 |
| 1 | 15 | 0 | 496 |
| 1 | 15 | 15 | 511 |
That is Port Address = (Net << 8) + (Subnet << 4) + (Universe % 16)
ola-artnet.confalways_broadcast = [true|false]
Use Art-Net v1 and always broadcast the DMX data. Turn this on if you have
devices that don't respond to ArtPoll messages.
ip = [a.b.c.d|<interface_name>]
The ip address or interface name to bind to. If not specified it will use
the first non-loopback interface.
long_name = ola - Art-Net node
The long name of the node.
net = 0
The Art-Net Net to use (0-127).
output_ports = 4
The number of output ports (Send Art-Net) to create. Only the first 4 will
appear in ArtPoll messages
short_name = ola - Art-Net node
The short name of the node (first 17 chars will be used).
subnet = 0
The Art-Net subnet to use (0-15).
use_limited_broadcast = [true|false]
When broadcasting, use the limited broadcast address 255.255.255.255
rather than the subnet directed broadcast address. Some devices which don't
follow the Art-Net spec require this. This only affects ArtDMX packets.
use_loopback = [true|false]
Enable use of the loopback device.
