DMX Workflows
-
Hi, it's been a minute since I have used IZZY, but I was curious about the DMX workflows. Now that we're in Izzy 4 (last time I used Izzy it was somewhere still in a 3 variant), what are the current best practices for sending and receiving DMX? I am mostly concerned about Art-Net and sACN because I never use ENTEC or USB DMX on my shows. I am interested in receiving cueing and show control data from an sACN source and doing projector dimming via Art-Net. Do you separate these out into indiviual VLANs on the machine? Do I have to do DMX over a single VLAN?

We have Art Net support via the Art Net actors, but do not have sACN support at this time.
If sACN is an absolute requirement, it could be handled via Pythoner, but would take some custom coding.
As far as VLANs go, there isn't an Isadora-specific requirement to separate Art-Net and sACN, or to put all DMX-over-IP traffic on a single VLAN. They can coexist on the same lighting/show-control VLAN, and for a relatively small network that's probably the simplest setup.
