ipc Artnet

The problem is that the iPC hardware just has one network port. So I think they won´t support any more network-ports or do some hardware-upgrades.
Especially when there are already solutions available to output artnet (DP8000 + iPC) or the Road-Hog Fullboar

I would love to see it as well, but i think this will not happen

I would also think that this will not happen for two reasons:

1 - The single network port on iPC is dedicated to Hog-Net usage only, and changing this could be very confusing for the next person to use the desk, or someone trying to troubleshoot a problem.

2 - There have been no new iPCs made for some time now (they have been officially discontinued), so any type of hardware or configuration change is highly unlikely.

Hope this helps. :)

Thats kinda what i figured.

But would it actually be that hard to implement it through USB??

Well Artnet is ethernet.. USB and ethernet = not the same. A USB to ethernet converter is not reliable, as I wouldn't trust it. Plus I don't think that it would be able to keep up with that constant data rate. Maybe it might work.. But I for one just couldn't find that a possible solution.

This is why they made the DP8000. You can plug it into the console via the hognet port and it will have a separate artnet or sACN output via separate net connection.

BTW, nice last name!

Maybe were somehow related! Not the most common name on earth..

The data rate is a large consideration. I don't actually need artnet yet, *knock on wood*. Hopefully by the time I do, I'm also ready for another console, but a DP8000 would indeed work just as well.

As for the name, I was just thinking about that.
Name goes back to England I believe
