We are compiling a list of improvements we like to add to the Netron devices as we continue to develop the firmware and web pages.
Please let us know some items you’d like to see improved, find missing as an important feature or any bugs you came across.
Any suggestions are welcome
Hi
Suggestions:
1/ A calendar to leave EN4/EN12 alone with some CUEs with trigger on hour/date/month/
2/ About WEB remote: No Load a Web inside ENXX but yes with option to trigger Cue using a command like: CUEXX On, CUEXX Off. Channel XXX @ XXX value…
I believe I saw that a software management package was in the works for systems that had more than one node. Would it be possible if the consoles / ONYX PC’s could have that incorporated into them also. Especially with the new 4.6 License announcement.
We’ve talked about how to take a Netron node on a sACN network to output DMX. Bring the outputted DMX back in on another port as DMX in. Then take the DMX in and resend it as Art-net out on a third port. However this is still on a DMX line if I recall correctly.
What I’d be interested in, is a Netron EtherDMX protocol converter. Similar to the Doug Fleenor E2E, but for a single universe. So I can take a network cable off my switch running sACN plug into the converter and have to it convert the sACN to Art-Net and plug that into my dedicated device that only accepts art-net at the moment. (Yes I’m pushing them to add sACN) but it’s a slow process).
I understand that I can output both from the console, but I would prefer to keep my sACN network traffic clean.
would it be possible to get RDM-forwarding in the Splitter-function?
Normally, I am using my EP4 as a sACN-Node with a custom IP. After having switched to the Splitter preset, I am not able to adress the web page anymore. I know the manual says it has the IP 2.x.x.x (I supposed it would be 2.0.0.1), so I changed the IP adress of the connected laptop. But there was no connection. I had to reset it for using it as sACN-Node again. Am I doing something wron?
2 Requests based around DMX wall stations. We like to recommend simple DMX wall stations like the Doug Fleenor Preset 10 or Springtree SM-8 to users.
It would be really great if we could set up our presets so each preset on the wall stations called a single DMX channel at full (i.e. 8 buttons = DMX channels 1-8), and then in netron, set those DMX channels to trigger cues - BUT - only as “backup” to the primary Art-Net or sACN feed. As of right now, if we set this up, the wall station takes over the console output - not what we intended. This would give us the option to trigger cues with multiple universes (and across multiple netron nodes) from a simple DMX wall station.
#2 - If Netron built a well-priced wall station that could program to the netron cues and trigger them from the nodes, that would be awesome.
Some form of hardware manager/Network selector. Similar to the TMB unit would be great! ProPlex GBS Ethernet Network Selector — ProPlex
Would also love some way to trigger cues on all Netron nodes in the system simultaneously. Currently working on ideas for an sACN rack for festival situations that is console agnostic, The only feature I’m missing is being able to trigger a worklight cue and “evac” cue without the console attached. While the built in cue functionality within the individual hardware pieces is a great start it’s a bit clunky on a festival where I am running 32-48 outputs.
