When the SL04 LAN port is connected to the computer through a network cable and uses MA3 to send data from 64 universe, some customers have reported that the light connected to the SL04 box will occasionally flash at an uncertain time, but the light on the DMX extender connected to the switch is normal.
Let’s talk about the solution first:
1: The session IP in MA3 must be selected 127.0.0.1, do not choose the box network card IP, otherwise MA3 will send some extra useless data to the box, we don’t need this extra data, this data is very large, occupying a lot of network bandwidth, choose 127.0.0.1 will not be sent to the box.
2: Run MakeFakeKey, Node Number in the lower left corner to minimize the number of nodes, turn off nodes without lights, and try to select nodes with actual number of lights, so as to reduce network bandwidth by reducing node network data.
Root cause of the problem:
Because the SL04 box has a built-in 10M network card, it cannot process the network data of 64 universe, and the minimum network bandwidth required by Artnet for 64 universe: 64*(512+18+42)*33*8=9.8M, plus some other network data, has exceeded 10M.
In the future, we will optimize the plugin algorithm to solve it, there should be no problem running 64 universe, please wait for the plugin upgrade.
