INTRODUCTION

XNODE 8 is a user-friendly Art-Net and sACN to DMX converter supporting the distribution of eight universes of DMX via eight individually optically isolated DMX ports, each of which is independently configurable as an input or output. Since most major lighting consoles are capable of transmitting Art-Net data, the XNODE 8 is all you need to take advantage of your console's networking capability, allowing you to transmit a vast number of universes over one single network cable. In some cases, users may profit from already existing networking infrastructure.

Furthermore, the XNODE 8 is also perfectly suited to send DMX data to your fixtures from a computer or even from a mobile device. Many light controller programs for PC or Mac support Art-Net output natively and with the help of XNODE 8's DHCP capability, you can even let your workplace network infrastructure do the network configuration of your XNODE 8 automatically for you.

With its 128x64 pixels OLED display however, configuring the network and setting up your Art-Net or sACN preferences manually is no trouble at all and helpful status information is always at hand.

MAINS CONNECTION

The user must supply a suitable power cable. He may then either hard-wire the power cable to the building's electrical installation, providing an easily accessible power on/off switch close to the device, or install on the power cable a grounding-type (earthed) mains plug that is suitable for the local power outlets, following the power plug manufacturer's instructions. Consult a qualified electrician, if you have any doubts about the proper installation.

A blue Neutrik powerCON NAC3FCA cable mount connector must be used to supply power at the XNODE 8's power input socket.

Warning! For protection against dangerous electrical shocks, the device must be grounded (earthed). The local AC power source must be supplied with both overload and ground-fault (earth fault) protection. Important! Only attach or remove a Neutrik powerCON connector while it is connected to the mains to apply or cut power in an emergency, as by doing so may cause arcing at the terminals that will damage the connectors.

POWER OUTLET

Warning! The total current load of all devices connected to the AC mains power outlet of the XNODE 8 must not exceed 19.8 amperes.

▶ A power cable that meets the requirements specified in the safety instructions section of this manual must be used to connect the XNODE 8 to AC mains power and to connect other devices to the power outlet.
▶ A light-grey Neutrik powerCON NAC3FCB cable-mount connector must be used to draw AC mains power from the XNODE 8's power outlet.
▶ No matter what the AC mains power voltage is, the current drawn by all the devices that draw AC mains power from the power outlet of an XNODE 8 must not exceed a total of 19.8 amperes.

DMX CONNECTIONS

Depending on the version, the XNODE 8 is equipped with 5-pin or 3-pin XLR connectors or with Neutrik etherCON RJ45 connectors.

SETTINGS AND MENU

GENERAL NAVIGATION

The encoder wheel is the primary means for navigating through the menus. Most of the menus arrange items vertically. In those menus, turn the encoder clockwise to select the item below the currently selected item or turn the encoder counter clockwise to select the item above the currently selected item. In menus that arrange items horizontally (e.g. text fields), clockwise means “to the right” and counter clockwise means “to the left”.

Other than that, the encoder wheel also functions as a push button. This button is generally used to confirm a selection or to navigate to a selected submenu. This manual will also refer to pushing the encoder knob as "push [OK]" or "push the [OK] button".

On the right side of the encoder knob, you can find the [Cancel] button, which is generally used to dismiss a selection or to exit a menu.

By keeping the [Cancel] button pressed for at least two seconds, you can always navigate to the Home Screen. From the Home Screen, the menu is launched by simply pushing the [OK] button.

The following notation is used to describe locations in the menu: Home > Menu > Sub menu > ...

For example, the manual could say "navigate to Home > Menu > Art-Net". This can be read as follows:

Keep [Cancel] pressed for 2 seconds to reach the Home Screen.

After pressing [OK] again to confirm the selection, a choice of the two (virtual) Art-Net nodes is displayed. XNODE 8 has two conceptual Art-Net nodes when the node is not operating in Art-Net 4 mode. This is because the number of Art-Net ports per node is limited to four by the Art-Net I, II and 3 specifications.

The Home Screen shows the 15-bit Art-Net port address (a number between 0 and 32767) for each port configured to Art-Net, the sACN universe (a number in the range of 1 to 63999) if the port is configured to sACN or "Off" for a currently disabled port. The universe number of an input port is surrounded by a rounded corner box. A filled box around the universe number of an input port indicates the presence of a valid DMX signal. The addressing information is arranged in a table with two rows and four columns. The information of the top row (bottom row) refers to the ports 1-4 (5-8). Each cell of the table also displays the text "ART-NET" ("sACN") if the port is configured for the Art-Net (sACN) protocol.

For detailed information on the addressing of Art-Net ports, see section Representations of Art-Net Port Addresses in the appendix.

PORT SCREEN

The Port Screen shows information about the selected port. It can be reached by pressing the port button (button [1] – button [8] or by navigating to Home > Menu > Ports > Port X > Universe. There are three variations of the Port Screen, depending on selected protocol and Art-Net version.

This screen can be closed by pressing [Cancel] or [OK]. It will disappear by itself after 20 seconds. When turning the encoder, universe edit mode is activated.

Depending on the port mode, the label on the top left will show if the selected port is configured as an input or as an output. A disabled port just shows the port number and a "Port Off" label.

A double tap on the port button will open a reduced port settings menu. This allows fast changes to port specific settings. See section Port Settings for more information.

STATUS INDICATION

There are several indicators and labels on the Port Screen to show the current operating mode and the state of the selected port. The following status labels displayed on the upper left of the Port Screen show the DMX signal status:

Label Port Mode Description
No DMXin, out No DMX signal present.
DMX OKin, out A validDMX signal is detected.
DMX Holdout Port is outputting a look which has been received before, but no updates have been received for at least 10 seconds ^1 .
DMX Errorin An error on the DMX signal appeared.

To show additional information about the selected port, there are status indicators for the presence of RDM on output ports, as well as the merge mode and status on the upper right of the display. These status indicators are only available with Art-Net 4 and sACN.

Indicator Port Mode Description

Indicator Port Mode Description
RDMout Art-Net RDM is enabled.
HTPout Merger mode isHTP. See section Merge Mode.
LTPout Merger mode isLTP. See section Merge Mode.

NETWORK SETTINGS

Since Art-Net 1, II and 3 only support a maximum of four ports per node and require each node to have a unique IP address, XNODE 8 is modelled as two conceptual Art-Net nodes with two separate virtual network interfaces unless the Art-Net version is set to Art-Net 4. Art-Net 4 is the default setting on devices with firmware version 0.97 and later. Previous firmware versions don't support Art-Net 4.

Physically, there is only one network interface. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the settings of both network interfaces are kept compatible. This means that the settings of the two interfaces should be treated like the settings of any other two participants in the same network.

The network settings can be found under Home > Menu > Network > Interface 1 and Home > Menu > Network > Interface 2 if the device is running in Art-Net 3 mode, or directly under Home > Menu > Network if the device is running in Art-Net 4 mode with a single interface. The network settings can also be reached with a double tap of the Ethernet port button.

All following settings can also be changed via web interface on the Network Settings Page.

text_image NETWORK SETTINGS DHCP Static Settings

DHCP

Navigate to Home > Menu > Network > Interface N > DHCP when the Art-Net version is set to Art-Net 3, or Home > Menu > Network > DHCP otherwise, in order to enable or disable DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). Choose Enable, if you want to have your network configured by a DHCP server. This would typically be the case, if you connect the XNODE 8 to a home or office network.

A bullet point is shown next to the currently active setting. Use the encoder wheel to choose the desired setting and confirm by pressing [OK] in order to change the setting.

STATIC SETTINGS

All settings under Home > Menu > Network > Interface N > Static Settings (Art-Net 3 mode) or Home > Menu > Network > Static Settings (Art-Net 4 mode) apply only if DHCP is disabled and are ignored otherwise. From this menu, you can choose the IP address, the netmask and the gateway address to be used when DHCP is disabled.

IP ADDRESS

Use this menu item to configure the device's IP address. When the IP address configuration dialog is opened, it will look just like the dialog depicted to the right. A box encircling the first number indicates that the first number is selected. While the first number (byte) of the IP address is selected, use the encoder wheel in order to choose the desired value for the first byte of the address, then push [OK] to confirm your selection. The next number will become selected allowing you to configure the second number. Simply repeat the same steps for the remaining numbers. After confirming the value of the last byte, the dialog will be closed, and the new settings will be applied.

NETMASK

In order to configure the netmask, use the same procedure as for configuring the IP address.

The netmask is used internally to compute the network address from the IP address. XNODE 8 does this by computing the bitwise AND of each byte with the corresponding byte of the IP address. The bitwise AND of the first byte of the IP address and the first byte of the netmask is the first byte of the network address and so on.

GATEWAY

In order to configure the default gateway address, use the same procedure as for configuring the IP address or the netmask. If the network data sent by the node needs to be routed, you may want to set this address to the address of your router. In most cases however, this setting is not relevant.

SET TO PRIMARY ART-NET IP

After navigating to the menu item Home > Menu > Network > Interface N > Static Settings > Set to primary Art-Net IP (Art-Net 3 mode) or Home > Menu > Network > Static Settings > Set to primary Art-Net IP (Art-Net 4 mode), a dialog as shown on the right will appear. Press [Cancel] to abort or press [OK] in order to apply the following settings:

Cameo XNODE 8 - SET TO PRIMARY ART-NET IP - 1

text_image Primary Art-Net Address Set IP to 2.169.0.18?

... Static Settings > IP Address is set to the primary Art-Net IP address (2.X.Y.Z). The values X, Y and Z are computed from the device's MAC address.

... Static Settings > Netmask is set to 255.0.0.0.

SET TO SECONDARY ART-NET IP

As Set to Primary Art-Net IP, but sets network settings to the following values:

... Static Settings > IP Address is set to the secondary Art-Net IP address (10.X.Y.Z).

... Static Settings > Netmask is set to 255.0.0.0.

ART-NET SETTINGS

Node wide Art-Net settings can be configured under Home > Menu > Art-Net > Node 1 and Home > Menu > Art-Net > Node 2 if the Art-Net version is configured to Art-Net 3 or if the firmware version is 0.96 or older.

In this case node 1 encompasses the output ports 1-4 and the virtual network interface 1, while ports 5-8 and the second virtual network interface belong to node 2.

Otherwise, if the firmware version is 0.97 or later and the Art-Net version is set to Art-Net 4, all ports belong to the same conceptual node and all node wide Art-Net settings can be found under Home > Menu > Art-Net.

ART-NET VERSION

This section applies to firmware version 0.97 and later.

The menu entry Home > Menu > Art-Net > Art-Net Version provides the following selection:

▶ Art-Net 4: Select Art-Net 4 to use the advantages of Art-Net 4. This is the recommended setting.
▶ Art-Net 3: Select Art-Net 3 for backward compatibility.

A bullet point is shown next to the currently active setting. Use the encoder wheel to select the desired setting and push [OK] to apply the setting.

When Art-Net 4 is selected, each port has an independent port address in the range of 0 to 32767, which is composed of an Art-Net net, sub-net and universe number. This allows for configuring the node to any combination of Art-Net universes.

When Art-Net 3 is active, then there are two conceptual nodes with four ports assigned to each of the nodes and all ports of the same conceptual node share their net and sub-net numbers. For more information on the addressing of the Art-Net ports, see section Representations of Art-Net Port Addresses in the appendix.

NET

This setting is only available when the Art-Net version is set to Art-Net 3 or with firmware versions prior to version 0.97.

To adjust the Art-Net net of the node, navigate to Home > Menu > Art-Net > Node N > Net and adjust the number using the encoder wheel. Once the desired number has been selected, push [OK] to apply the new setting or press [Cancel] to abort.

This part of the Art-Net address was introduced with Art-Net 3. In order to work with Art-Net I and Art-Net II controllers, Art-Net net needs to be set to 0.

Note that changing this setting while independent Art-Net universes are enabled still affects all Art-Net port addresses. For more information, see Independent Universes on next page.

SUB-NET

This setting is only available when the Art-Net version is set to Art-Net 3 or with firmware versions prior to version 0.97.

The sub-net is configured under Home > Menu > Art-Net > Node N > Sub-Net in the same way the Net is configured.

Note that changing this setting while independent Art-Net universes are enabled still affects all Art-Net port addresses of the Art-Net node.

INDEPENDENT UNIVERSES

This setting is only available with firmware versions that appeared before version 0.97. Newer firmware versions provide the same functionality when the Art-Net version is set to Art-Net 4. The main advantage of the Art-Net 4 support over the obsolete independent universes functionality is that Art-Net 4 support allows an Art-Net 4 aware controller to properly understand and, if supported by the controller, configure the port address of each port whether the ports share a common net and sub-net address or not.

Independent Art-Net universes may be enabled and disabled under Home > Menu > Art-Net > Independent Universes. If independent Art-Net universes are enabled, the ports of the Art-Net node do not need to share the same Art-Net net and sub-net addresses.

Independent Art-Net universes may be enabled on a per node basis and disabled under Home > Menu > Art-Net > Node N > Independent Universes. If independent Art-Net universes are enabled, the ports of the Art-Net node do not need to share the same Art-Net net and sub-net addresses.

When this feature is enabled, each output port has an independent port address in the range of 0 to 32767, which is computed from the Art-Net net, sub-net and universe number. This allows for configuring the node to any combination of Art-Net universes. However, if the Art-Net net or the Art-Net sub-net settings are changed (remotely or in the menu), each output port address is recomputed. For more information on the addressing of the Art-Net ports, see section Representations of Art-Net Port Addresses in the appendix.

Unfortunately, due to restrictions of Art-Net, the node may no longer correctly report the port addresses of its outputs to a controller when this feature is enabled, which might confuse a controller and lead to problems. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid enabling independent universes whenever possible.

NAME

The device name can be viewed and edited under Home > Menu > Settings > Art-Net > Name if the Art-Net version is set to Art-Net 4. Otherwise, the name can be set for each conceptual node instance separately under Home > Menu > Settings > Art-Net > Node 1 > Name and Home > Menu > Settings > Art-Net > Node 2 > Name.

Firmware versions 0.97 and later also display the Art-Net net, the Art-Net sub-net and the Art-Net universe part of the port address on the lower half of the display near the left edge.

Cameo XNODE 8 - ART-NET (VERSION 4) - 1

text_image Output Port 1 Art-Net DMX OK RDH HTP NET 0 SUB 2 UNI 6 00038

If an input port is configured for Art-Net 4, data is transmitted to the directed broadcast IP address (e.g. 2.255.255.255).

For more information about the addressing of Art-Net ports, see section Representations of Art-Net Port Addresses in the appendix.

ART-NET (VERSION 3)

This section describes the screen for editing the universe of a port running in Art-Net mode when the Art-Net version is set to Art-Net 3.

The screen looks the same on devices with a firmware older than version 0.97 if the corresponding port is in Art-Net mode and independent universes are disabled.

Please note that while the universe (large number on the right-hand side of the display) is being edited but has not yet been stored, its background lights up and the number is displayed in its inverted colour about once every second. If that is the case and you just want to see the configured universe number, simply press [Cancel].

Cameo XNODE 8 - ART-NET (VERSION 3) - 1

text_image Output Port 1 No DMX Net 0 Sub-Net 0 Sub-Uni 5 Art-Net UNIVERSE 5

On the left-hand side of the screen, the following information is displayed on three lines below the status label: Art-Net net, Art-Net sub-net and Art-Net sub-uni.

The Art-Net sub-uni is computed from the sub-net and the universe of a port as 16 x sub-net + universe. Some controllers address the Art-Net universe as a single number in the range of 0 to 255. Sub-uni corresponds to that number.

If an input port is configured for Art-Net 3, data is transmitted to the directed broadcast IP address (e.g. 2.255.255.255).

SACN

Ports that are running in sACN mode display the sACN universe number and status indicators.

The sACN universe number may be in the range of 1 – 63999. While the universe (large number at the bottom) is being edited but has not yet been stored, a slowly blinking cursor is shown below the currently editable digit. Use the encoder to increase or decrease that digit. Push the port button corresponding to the port that is being edited to change the digit that is currently editable.

Cameo XNODE 8 - SACN - 1

text_image Output Port 1 sACN No DMX RDN HTP UNIVERSE 00005

If an input port is configured for sACN, data is transmitted to the sACN multicast IP address of the respective universe (e.g. 239.255.0.1 for universe 1).

MODE

Under Mode, a selection list is presented to you with the following options:

▶ Output: The port outputs data received from the network.
▶ Input ^1 : The port is configured as DMX input and sends data to the network.
▶ Off: The port is turned off.

A bullet point is shown next to the currently active setting. Use the encoder wheel to select the desired setting and push [OK] to apply the setting. When setting multiple inputs to the same universe, the node will output the data depending on the used protocol:

▶ Art-Net: Only one port will send data to the network, because Art-Net streams are identified by the IP address.
▶ sACN: All inputs can send data to the network, because sACN identifies every stream with an own ID.

PROTOCOL

Under Protocol, you can choose between the following two options:

▶ Art-Net: The port is using the Art-Net protocol for either input or output mode.
▶ sACN: The port is using the sACN protocol for either input or output mode.

A bullet point is shown next to the currently active setting. Use the encoder wheel to select the desired setting and push [OK] to apply the setting.

OUTPUT SETTINGS

DMX OUTPUT MODE

The DMX Output Mode menu allows for choosing the DMX timing. This menu item has been introduced with firmware version 0.95. Currently the following choices are available:

▶ Max. Frame Rate (44 Hz)
▶ Relaxed (30 Hz)

When Max. Frame Rate is selected, the DMX output signal has the following properties:

▶ Refresh rate: Ca. 44 Hz when 512 channels are being sent, depending on the amount of RDM requests sent from the controller and further reduced during RDM discovery.

▶ Break length: Ca. 180 μS.
▶ Mark after break: Ca. 40 μS.

The DMX Output Mode Relaxed has the following behavior:

▶ Refresh rate: Ca. 30 Hz when 512 channels are being sent, depending on the amount of RDM requests sent from the controller and further reduced during RDM discovery.

▶ Break length: Ca. 300 μS.
▶ Mark after break: Ca. 80 μS.
▶ A small delay of about 20 S is inserted between slots to reduce the update rate. This may reduce problems such as flickering when legacy fixtures are in use.

MERGE MODE

Under Merge Mode, a selection list is presented to you with the following options:

▶ HTP: Highest takes precedence. If for a given DMX channel data has been received from two sources, the higher value is used.

▶ LTP: Latest takes precedence. If for a given DMX channel data has been received from two sources, LTP merging uses the value of whichever source was the last to change the value it has sent for that given channel.

▶ Off: Merging is disabled.

Merging is applied when two Art-Net or sACN controllers send data for the same port. If more than two controllers send data for the same port, the following rules take effect:

▶ Art-Net: The first two appeared data streams are merged. All following ones are discarded.

▶ sACN: The first two streams with the same priority are merged. Further streams of the same or lower priority are discarded. If a stream with higher priority appears, the lower priority ones will be discarded.

A bullet point is shown next to the currently active setting. Use the encoder wheel to select the desired setting and push [OK], to apply the setting.

FAILURE BEHAVIOUR

Under Failure Behaviour, a selection list is presented to you with the following options:

▶ Off: The output will stop sending DMX, after no updates for the universe of the output have been received for 10 seconds ^1 .

▶ Hold Last Look: The output will continue to send the last look even if no updates are received.

A bullet point is shown next to the currently active setting. Use the encoder wheel to select the desired setting and push [OK] to apply the setting.

ART-NET RDM

Under Art-Net RDM, RDM may be enabled or disabled for the output. Art-Net RDM can also be enabled for sACN ports. XNODE 8 discovers a maximum of 250 devices per output port.

All the previously described settings can be changed via web interface on the Port Settings Page.

ETHERNET PORT STATUS INFORMATION

This screen is reached by pressing the Ethernet port button [E], which is located right next to the Ethernet port. See Device Overview on page 6 for more precise information about the location of this button.

This screen shows the following information about the status of the Ethernet port on four lines:

The first line below the title shows whether the link is up or down and what the current connection speed is (10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s).
▶ The next line informs whether the link is full or half duplex if a link is established.
▶ The last two lines display the currently configured IP address and the currently configured netmask.

When the Art-Net version is set to Art-Net 3 or if the firmware is version 0.96 or lower, the node has two virtual interfaces. Use the encoder knob or push the Ethernet port button [E] again to change for which of the two virtual interfaces the IP address and the netmask is displayed.

While the information on the first two lines concerns the physical Ethernet interface, the IP address and the netmask may differ between the two virtual interfaces of the XNODE 8.

STATUS LEDS

All LEDs can be muted, in which case they stay dark independently of the device's status. The information below applies when the LEDs are not muted (unmuted). Please refer to Mute LEDs for more information about muting and unmuting the LEDs.

SELECTED PORT

When a port is selected, the port's status LED flashes in white for 0.1 seconds once every 0.2 seconds. The DMX ports and the Ethernet port can be selected using the push button next to the port. Further, the DMX ports can also be selected via the menu (Home > Menu > Outputs > Output [1-8] > Universe).

NOT SELECTED DMX PORT

If a DMX port is not selected, the port's status LED provides the following information. It shows the port status for at least 0.7 seconds every second using the following colour coding:

▶ Output port:
- Red: Not sending DMX data, but the port is enabled.
- Yellow: Sending last look but did not receive an update for at least 10 seconds
- Green: Sending DMX data, receiving updates.

▶ Input port

- Blue flashing: No DMX signal detected.

- Blue static: DMX signal is present and valid.

- Red: DMX signal error.

▶ Disabled port:

- Black: Port is disabled / turned off.

The LED lights up white for 0.3 seconds every second, if the node is set identified.

ETHERNET PORT (NOT SELECTED)

The status LED lights up for 0.3 seconds every second, if the node is set identified.

On the right-hand side of the status LED, there is also a link LED, which lights up in green, if an Ethernet link has been established. Traffic is indicated by short interruptions.

IDENTIFY

The XNODE 8 can help the user to locate the device under certain conditions through the identify process. The node can be set in an identified state, by means of communication, like Art-Net, RDM or the web interface. In the case of the XNODE 8 the identified device will light up all port status LEDs white, for 0.3 seconds every second, for as long as the device is set identified.

SCREEN SAVER

The OLED display will automatically turn itself off when no user input is received for 40 seconds in order to improve the durability of the product, if the screen saver is enabled. Once the display is turned off, it can be turned on again by pushing any button or by turning the encoder wheel by one unit in any direction.

The screen saver can be enabled or disabled under Home > Menu > Device Settings > Screen Saver, as described under Screen Saver.

FIRMWARE UPDATES

Firmware updates will be provided on the product page on the Cameo website. For updating the firmware, a PC with Windows (Vista or later) and a USB A to B cable (USB printer cable) is required. Please refer to the separate documentation also provided on the product web page for details about the process of updating the product's firmware.

Alternatively, firmware updates can be done via web interface on the Firmware Update Pag.

WEB INTERFACE

As of firmware version 1.00 the XNODE 8 allows the use of a web interface hosted by the device. Through this interface the status may be observed, settings can be adjusted, and firmware updates can be carried out. The web interface is accessed by typing the devices configured IP address in a web browser of a computer, that is connected to the same network as the XNODE 8.

STATUS PAGE

The status page is the first to welcome the user after accessing the web interface. It lets the user get an overview over every individual port's status and configuration at a quick glance. In addition to the overview a toggle switch can be enabled to set the device identified. The ports can display five different status messages.

REPRESENTATIONS OF ART-NET PORT ADDRESSES

According to the Art-Net 3 specification, the address of an Art-Net port consists of three parts: The Art-Net net, sub-net and universe number. The Art-Net universe and sub-net number both have a value between 0 and 15 (4 bits). Many controllers combine these values to the sub-uni number, resulting in a value between 0 and 255 (8 bits), with the sub-net part occupying the more significant digits. Thus, the sub-uni can be calculated with the formula 16 x sub-net + universe = sub-uni.

The Art-Net net number was added in Art-Net 3 and has a value between 0 and 127 (7 bits). So, when working with controllers using Art-Net I or Art-Net II, the Art-Net net must be set to 0.

The Art-Net net, sub-net and universe can be combined to a 15-bit port address with values from 0 to 32767, as shown below.

Bit Digit 14 13 12 1110 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Subdivided Representation Net (0 - 127) Sub-Net (0 - 15) Universe (0 - 15)
Alternative Representation Net (0 - 127) Sub-Uni (0 - 255)
15-bit Port Address Rep. (0 - 32767)

For the instances where the Art-Net net number is 0, the 15-bit port address is equivalent to the sub-uni. The table below gives an overview of the entire Art-Net 3 address space and how it is converted to a 15-bit port address.
