Overview:

The SGM A4 Artnet-DMX Converter enables Artnet-DMX control of up to four DMX universes, or up to 20 DMX universes when (a maximum of) up to five A4s are daisy-chained together using the Artnet input and output sockets.

The A4 can operate on 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz mains supplies. A 1-meter (3.3 ft) long power cable is hard wired to the unit; do not open the unit to replace this. The power cable may be fitted with a power cord cap (not supplied). For permanent installation, have a qualified electrician wire the mains cable directly to a suitable branch circuit.

Configuring an A4:

A4 units are configured using the SGM Artnet Configurator, a Windows-based application that is available from the SGM website: http://www.sgmlight.com, or provided on portable media with your A4 unit. The application runs on personal computers running Windows Vista or Windows 7 operating systems.

For data communication to function, the A4 and the PC must be on the same subnet of the same local area network (LAN) with IP addresses assigned by a router with a DHCP server in the 2.x.x.x range (which are IP addresses used and recognised by artnet). The router itself must also be assigned a 2.x.x.x IP address. Most routers use either the 192.x.x.x
or 10.x.x.x IP address ranges by default. Consult your router user manual for directions about how to reset the router IP address to a 2.x.x.x value, such as 2.0.0.1. Once this has been done, and the router has been re-booted, most routers that use DHCP will generally automatically assign 2.x.x.x addresses to the fixtures connected to their LAN.

See the SGM Artnet Configurator User Manual (available from the SGM website: http://www.sgmlight.com), for further instructions on how to configure and use the A4 using the SGM Artnet Configurator.

Physical data connection:

The fixture has four 5-pin DMX outputs. The pin-out on all DMX connectors is pin 1 = shield, pin 2 = cold (-), pin 3 = hot (+), pin 4 = data 2 cold (-) and pin 5 = data 2 hot (+).

RJ45 input and output sockets are provided for artnet support and the pinout conforms to artnet/ethernet standards.
