Recording Artnet signal via ethernet on Quadcore

[Yoshi]

Hi,

I am not sure if what I am trying to do is possible. I was having issues trying to create a smooth visual chase/transition using cueluxpro, so I started working with another software.

I was able to get that software to communicate directly with the 2 SpiNodes, and watch the scene. Now I wanted to try and record that scene to the Quadcore.

I had initially hoped that I could just go into the "Track" Tab of the quadcore menu, and click on record, however nothing was captured.

I then reconfigured the other software to direct it to send the signal to the static ip of the Quadcore device, rather than the 2 SpiNodes. That also did not work.

I noticed a couple of things:

In the 2 attached images, in the bottom right corners,
Receiving Artnet - No

And

Capture Artnet - is greyed out.

I am not sure how to turn those on?

Is there any other tips I need to know on what I am trying to do? The scene I have created uses 4 universes. Can they all be recorded at once via ethernet?

Thanks for any help!

Hello Mike,

Yes, this is possible 

The QuadCore can record all four Art-Net universes simultaneously into one Track.

First, go to:

 **Settings → Art-Net → Input**

and make sure universes A–D match the four universes sent by your software.

Please note that **Art-Net numbering is zero-based**. This means the first four universes may need to be configured as **0.0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3**, even if your software displays them as universes 1, 2, 3 and 4.

The grey RX indicators are status indicators, not buttons. They will activate automatically once the QuadCore receives valid Art-Net data. The **Capture Art-Net** button is part of the Intensity Map and is not used for recording a Track.

Once **Receiving Art-Net** shows “Yes”, select an empty Track, erase it, set **Mode to Manual** and **Source to Art-Net**, then use Record and Stop. Keep in mind that four universes of pixel data can use the available Track memory very quickly.

Hope this helps!

Thank you Jorge, We were able to get it working!
