The Art-Net Dongle unlocks the Art-Net output in Canvix and VisualDMX and is available in various sizes, also allowing for future capacity upgrades.
The Art-Net protocol is suited for configurations with many universes and thousands of DMX channels. A typical application for Canvix is a 50 x 25 LED matrix where in the past you would need to connect a large number of USB connected DMX Outputs to your computer, says the company. The Art-Net dongle now saves the user from this complexity and gives more efficient control. With a large number of universes, the Art-Net communication uses noticeably less computer resources then USB communication.
The dongle is a useful tool for designers as many 3D lighting visualisers are Art-Net enabled. The Art-Net Dongle will enable the user to visualize the VisualDMX and Canvix lighting designs in third-party applications such as Martin ShowDesigner, Cast WYSIWYG (using Wygalizer), ESP Vision and Capture.
