For recording in Delta, see the Delta User Guide on recording generally.
Art-Net recording enables Art-Net inputs to be recorded and then rerun in simulation scenarios. This may be useful in optimising inputs, or to allow inputs to be simulated as shows are developed.
To set up recording, click the red Record button on the timeline controls:
Select Art-Net Recording:
Start
first DMX channel to record
End
last DMX channel to record (recording includes all channels between Start and End)
Universe
Universe being recorded
Subnet
Art-Net Universe being recorded
Save as
the number of bytes which make up a data point to be recorded
Input Network
The IP from which the recording is being listened to
Input Subnet
The IP subnet being listened from
Number of frames to record
This is the number of Art-Net frames to record (not movie frames).
ArtNet Input Enabled
This is essentially the same checkbox that can be found in Config > Preferences > ArtNet & DMX to enable Art-Net input.
Loop playback at file end
Plays the Art-Net recording continuously until playback is cancelled.
Set Save file
Set the file to record to. When this is set, and Input is enabled, the Record button becomes available.
Set Playback File
The file to be read from, in order to playback Art-Net. Once this is set and Art-Net input is disabled, the PlayBack button becomes available.
External Controls
Use the External Control (listed under ‘Recording Commands’): ARTNET_RECORD.
With this control you can set any of the Art-Net recording parameters. Use Recording Mode to change whether you’re recording, playing back or neither. Note, you will need to ensure you are in the correct Art-Net input/output mode, See ARTNET external control (listed under ‘Media Commands’).
Example:
artnet_record StartChan=1 EndChan=13 Universe=3 Subnet=2 ByteRange=2 InputIP=192.168.71.10 InputIPSubnet=255.255.255.0 NumberFramesToRecord=80 SaveFile=C:\Movies\Record\art_test.txt PlayBackFile=C:\Movies\Record\artnetrec.txt RecordingMode=Idle LoopPlayback=true
Note: Save and PlayBack files are .txt files.
