Ptarmigan Consulting on the elaborate
control system that was both DMX and
video driven. Grand MA2’s and Hippotizer
Media Servers connected through a massive
Art-Net control network supplied by
Artistic Licence Asia. The decision to use
the network was in part because Art-Net is
the only control protocol common to both
media servers. However the use of Art-
Net distribution nodes resulted in a cost
effective and easy to use solution to data
merging and distribution.
One primary consideration is that Art-Net
operates across a standard high-speed
Ethernet distribution network. This allows
great flexibility whilst reducing costs since
the many diverse areas within the show
could be connected using standard Cat5
cable; only small amounts of the more
expensive DMX512 cable were needed to
connect the Art-Net nodes and splitters to
the fixtures.
