As an alternative to the DMX Output of our lighting software, Canvix dedicated matrix controller and VisualDMX lighting controller are also capable of transmitting the fixtures' data through the Art-Net protocol. The Art-Net Dongle unlocks the Art-Net output in Canvix and VisualDMX and is available in various sizes, e.g. 2, 4 and 8 universes, also allowing for future capacity upgrades.

The Art-Net protocol is very well 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.  The Art-Net dongle now saves you 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 you to visualize your VisualDMX and Canvix lighting designs in third-party applications such as Martin ShowDesigner, Cast WYSIWYG (using Wygalizer), ESP Vision and Capture.
