The opcode (given in little endian) tells the recipient this is a packet containing DMX data in the data portion, intended to be output of the specified universe. The pink portion is the same on all Art-Net packets the green portion is variable. It is sent to the fixed UDP port 0x1936 (6454 decimal). The following table shows a typical packet, ArtDMX, for transmitting lighting values.

For node discovery, broadcast packets are used. Revision Q of the protocol addressed this problem by adding 10.0.0.0/8 as an addressing scheme. The fixed addressing can be problematic in networks with other addressing requirements. The protocol can address 32768 DMX 'universes', each of 512 channels, limited by bandwidth. Networks can use DHCP or statically configured IP addresses, and use unicast packets for greater network efficiency.

In its simplest implementation, nodes all broadcast, originally on the 2.0.0.0/8 networks.Īddressing is typically fixed per node, often locked to the MAC Address and an 'OEM' code allocated to the manufacturer, and jumper settings. Internally to the protocol, it is referred to as version 14. A further version, Artnet IV was released in 2016. Art-Net III, released in 2011, addresses issues in managing larger numbers of universes, up to 32,768.

Art-Net II mostly uses unicast packets, and addresses 256 universes. Art-Net I used broadcasts extensively, giving a universe limit of approximately 40. Supported functions include transmitting and receiving lighting data (e.g., fader levels for individual lights, positions of movable lights) management functions such as detecting nodes, updating node control parameters, and transmitting timecodes and functions that allow nodes to 'subscribe' to 'publisher' nodes so that, for example, nodes A and B can subscribe to node C (C will unicast information to A and B).Īrt-Net has gone through four versions which are claimed to be interoperable. It is used to communicate between 'nodes' (e.g., intelligent lighting instruments) and a 'server' (a lighting desk or general purpose computer running lighting control software).Īrt-Net is a simple implementation of DMX512-A protocol over UDP in which lighting control information is conveyed in IP packets, typically on a private local area network such as Ethernet. For the art-dealing website, see Artnet.Īrt-Net is a royalty-free communications protocol for transmitting the DMX512-A lighting control protocol and Remote Device management (RDM) protocol over the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) of the Internet protocol suite. This article is about a lighting industry control system.
