Ethernet. It is not specific to one range of products, and is recognised 

and implemented by a growing number of manufacturers. Many 

products (such as Dimmers and Moving lights) can accept the Art Net 

signal directly, so there is no need to convert the signal to DMX. Most 

people will, however, need to output DMX to their equipment and this 

can be done using an Art Net to DMX converter. 

In the following diagram, an Art Net compliant Console (such as the 

Pearl Expert Titan) is connected via a network hub to an Art Net 

compatible dimmer and 2 DMX conversion boxes. 

 

Once the system is connected together, the different outputs (or 

Nodes) can be configured. 

•  The dimmer is given the start address of 200 
•  The 1st DMX box is set to universe 1 and universe 2 
•  The 2nd DMX box is also set to universe 1 and universe 2 

The console is then used to set the DMX lines to the Art Net nodes.  
It is important to remember:  

•  Each Art Net to DMX box (or compatible Dimmer, or compatible 

moving light) is a device,  

•  Each device may have one or more nodes(i.e. the Art Net to 

DMX box has 2 nodes, these are the 2 DMX outputs; the dimmer 

itself is a node),   

•  Each node can be set to a Universe (1-256). This universe is 

equivalent to a 512 channel DMX line  

You can then specify which console line is assigned to each node. A 

console line can be assigned to multiple nodes (this will duplicate the 

DMX universe), but each node should have only one console line 

assigned to it. 
Here, the console assigns the following: 

•  Line A to Box 1 universe 1 and box 2 universe 1
