Re: Alternativce SACN module

This document talks more about merging:?
With two sACN sources, it appears the one with higher priority always takes over or HTP is used - no LTP merging available.? I would try changing the S-Play to physical DMX and see if you can configure the Ethergate to merge them in LTP mode instead.

Hi Jeremy, ? ?You have two sources of control, the S-Play Mini via DMX, and Crestron via sACN, both trying to control all 512 channels of the Ethergate's?DMX out.? Is that correct?¡° ? Actually, both the S-Play mini and Crestron are communication via sACN to the Ethergate. So are you saying it would be better to connect the S-Play via (physical) DMX to the Ethergate and Crestron via sACN? ? ¡°Or you can set up scenes in the S-Play that are triggered from Crestron and let it be the DMX master.¡± ? I would like to do both: trigger pre-recorded scenes in the S-Play from Crestron, but also send sACN data directly via Crestron. ? Cheers, Thorsten ? ? ?

You should be able to set the Ethergate's merge mode to LTP (Latest Takes Precedence).? That should allow the S-Play's values to not be overwritten by sACN channels that are not changing from packet to packet.? Or you can set up scenes in the S-Play that are triggered from Crestron and let it be the DMX master. ?

I?m using the ?SACN SenderDirectSockets¡± module from the SIMPL device database to control an Enttec Ethergate Artnet/SACN to DMX gateway. In general, it works. However, it seems as if the module sends out all 512 channels, even if I change only one of them. This is very unfortunate, as I?m using an Enttec S-Play mini to send out prerecorded scenes to my fixtures via the Ethergate in parallel to the Crestron processor. ? Is there any alternative to SACN module (Artnet would be OK as well) available that sends out only the values for the DMX channel that has actually changed? ? Thanks, Thorsten
