ArtNet-SPI Controller ArtNet Pixel Controller
The ArtNet-SPI controller is an Ethernet control system based on the ArtNet protocol, primarily used to convert ArtNet network data packets into SPI (TTL) digital signals to control LED lighting fixtures. The ArtNet protocol is an Ethernet protocol based on the TCP/IP protocol stack, which uses standard network technology to transmit a large amount of DMX512 data over a wide area network. ArtNet-SPI controller typically uses the UDP protocol for data transmission, with a fixed port number of 0x1936 and a network name fixed as “Art-Net” followed by 0x00.
ArtNet-SPI controller supports a variety of network protocols, including but not limited to the ArtNet protocol itself. Some controller software versions may simultaneously support both ArtNet and sACN (E1.31) protocols. In addition, ArtNet-SPI controller usually has the following network compatibility features:
- Support for connections via RJ45 network interfaces.
- Support for both static IP and dynamic IP settings.
- Compatible with lighting control software that supports the ArtNet protocol.
- Support for offline synchronized playback without the need to specify master or slave devices.
- Support for daisy-chaining and parallel connection of network cables.
Furthermore, some ArtNet-SPI controller has additional network functions, allowing for control and setup through wireless networks. Some controllers also support setup through a web server, making the configuration process simpler and more convenient.
Overall, ArtNet-SPI controller have a broad network compatibility that can meet the lighting control needs in various scenarios.
