    I am planning on connecting my console to Capture, but the console only outputs DMX and not ARTnet. So do I just need to get a DMX to ARTnet converter? These converters aren't cheap so I just want to make sure it will work.

    Also, Is a network switch required to connect a console to Capture? Or can I just connect directly from the ARTnet output to the computer's LAN port?

    Thanks

    ELC dmXLan buddy is a cheap node and yes it can be connected directly to the pc/Mac and it will work.

    Thanks for the reply and advice!

    The Capture manual says you have to set the IP address of your console in order to work. How would I do that when my console doesn't output ARTnet and thus doesn't have network settings?

    Thanks again for the help!

    Hi,

    The only reason to set the IP address of the console is if it does output Art-Net. If it doesn't, then you don't need to worry about it.
