1 -ShowRunnerCLC™ can receive sACN or Art-Net packets and translate received values to lighting loads, effectively allowing non-DMX, ShowRunner™-controlled loads to be mapped to eDMX channels. One use-case for this feature is to enable control of house lights from a temporarily installed DMX panel in an event space.
1 +ShowRunnerCLC™ comes standard with a built-in eDMX receiver capable of receiving sACN or Art-Net packets from a third-party DMX controller and mapping those received eDMX values into output levels for ShowRunnerCLC™-controlled hardware. This allows a third-party DMX controller (such as a theatrical control panel) to directly command ShowRunnerCLC™-controlled loads through eDMX. One common use-case for this feature is to allow individuals running a theatrical event to use their temporarily installed DMX console to directly control ShowRunnerCLC™ house lighting as if they were DMX fixtures, without the need to use Crestron keypads or touch screens.

3 += Hardware Requirements =
4 +
5 +These are the hardware/networking requirements for integrating a third-party DMX controller with ShowRunnerCLC™'s eDMX receiver:
6 +
7 +* Third-party controller must be capable of sending eDMX commands via sACN or Art-Net
8 +* Third-party controller must be able to send eDMX signals to the lighting control processor (i.e. third-party controller must be on the same LAN or VLAN as the lighting control processor, or the building LAN must be configured in such a way as to allow this communication)
9 +* If either of the above cannot be achieved, then a [[DIN-SACN-DMX (Enttec DIN Ethergate 2)>>https://www.crestron.com/Products/Lighting-Environment/Lighting-Fixture-Accessories/Interfaces/DIN-SACN-DMX]] must be added to the ShowRunnerCLC™ controlled hardware
10 +** DIN-SACN-DMX will have traditional DMX connection to the third-party controller and receive ordinary DMX (non-eDMX) signals from the third-party controller
11 +** DIN-SACN-DMX must be on the lighting control LAN/VLAN
12 +
13 += Information Requirements =
14 +
15 +The following information/coordination must be arranged by the Agent prior to the eDMX receiver being added to the ShowRunnerCLC™ configuration:
16 +
17 +* **(Required)** eDMX type (sACN or Art-Net)
18 +** If traditional DMX is used, then sACN from a DIN-SACN-DMX receiver is assumed
19 +* **(Required)** Universe/Channel to ShowRunnerCLC™ load map
20 +** Agent must coordinate which eDMX channels are used to control each ShowRunnerCLC™ load or load group
21 +** Multiple eDMX receivers can be defined in ShowRunnerCLC™ configuration to allow for different areas to be controlled separately
22 +* //(Optional)// Channel and threshold for enabling or disabling eDMX receiver from the third-party controller
23 +** **Default**: none (eDMX receiver is always active)
24 +* //(Optional)// Add a Global Action to ShowRunnerCLC™ to enable or disable the eDMX receiver?
25 +** **Default**: no global action (eDMX receiver is always active)
26 +* //(Optional)// Restrict the IP address for the eDMX receiver to listen to (i.e., provide the IP address of the third-party controller)?
27 +** **Default**: no restriction (eDMX receiver will obey commands from any IP address)
28 +* //(Optional)// Port for the eDMX receiver to listen on
29 +** **Default**: 5568 (sACN) or 6454 (Art-Net)
