Art-Net and sACN pixel mapping software
PixNet Artist sends your pixel map straight to Art-Net and sACN controllers over the network. No extra bridge software and no internet connection needed. It works with PixNet controllers and any other Art-Net or sACN pixel controller.
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.
18 colour orders
Set RGB or RGBW colour order per area or for the whole show, including white first or white last.
Art-Net in
Control it from a lighting desk
PixNet Artist listens on Art-Net too, so a desk can run the show.
| Input | What it does |
|---|---|
| 3 Art-Net channels | Pick the scene, the speed and the dimmer from any lighting desk. |
| Art-Net Timecode | Fires a cue list, with the animation and video locked to timecode. MIDI Timecode and LTC work too. |
| MIDI and keys | Click Learn and press a key, pad or button to assign it to a scene. |
| HTTP API | For Crestron, Companion and Stream Deck, plus a phone remote. |
FAQ
Questions
Does PixNet Artist work with Art-Net controllers that aren't PixNet?
Yes. It works with any Art-Net or sACN pixel controller. It's made by PixNet Control and built to get the most from PixNet controllers.
How many pixels can one output take?
Up to 1024 RGB or 768 RGBW pixels, across 6 universes. Pixels can run across universe boundaries.
How many universes are free?
6 universes, which is one full data line. Universe packs add 6 more each.
Does it need extra software to send Art-Net?
No. Art-Net, sACN and DDP output are built in, and no internet connection is needed.
Can a lighting desk trigger scenes?
Yes. Three Art-Net channels pick the scene, speed and dimmer, and Art-Net Timecode can fire a cue list.
Try it on your own LEDs
Free for one full data line: 6 universes, 1024 RGB or 768 RGBW pixels. No sign-up needed.
