I have a job coming up in a theater that has one House Ethernet port “IN” to run 4 universes on stage. I will be using my ONYX PC with Onekey (128 univ).
My question is, do I need to buy a separate USB to Ethernet Node? Or can I just use the PC Ethernet port to house?

No additional hardware needed. Just plug into your PC Ethernet port. With that said…you may need to do some “site work” and verify what IP’s and protocols (sACN or Art-Net) the House theater is using so you can set ONYX accordingly. Also…in ONYX there is a Ethernet Sync Packet setting. I know that with my ETC dimmers I had to disable it for control of them. But I have older dimmers.
So in short - no additional hardware is needed, just more info from the house theater.
Hope this helps,

Thank you. I do have a pre-show visit scheduled. I’m hoping to plug in and RDM the fixtures.
Thanks again.
