Output

Network output done properly

Drag controller outputs onto the areas they feed and PixNet Artist works out the universes and channels for you.

Art-Net, sACN and DDP

All three are built in, so output goes directly to your controllers.

Find controllers

Scans the network and lists the Art-Net nodes it finds, ready to add.

Proper output limits

Each output takes up to 1024 RGB or 768 RGBW pixels across 6 universes, with pixels running across universe boundaries.

Drag-to-connect wiring

Drag from an output to an area, then chain to the next. Colour tags like C1 · Output 1 show what's connected where.

Load on every output

See how full each output is as you wire, so you never go over the limit.
