Hi,
I’m sending DMX data to TouchDesigner using sACN for testing and debugging purposes. The thing is I need to monitor a lot of universes (> 100), and I can’t find a way to have them all show at once. The DMX In CHOP has a universe parameter, but is it possible to give a universe range [1-100]? I’ve tried to instantiate one CHOP per universe, but it does not seem to work. I’m guessing this is because I can’t have multiple CHOPs listening to the same IP and port, right? Sending everything locally for now.
I couldn’t find any info about this online, but if I missed it please redirect me and sorry for the inconvenience.
You need to switch the DMXin CHOP to format “Packet per Channel” and then fill out the attached filter DAT to receive multiple universes - just like you need to do with the DMXout CHOP to be able to send multiple universes.
Use “Packet Per Channel (Latest)” if you only have one other source sending DMX to TouchDesigner, or “Packet Per Channel (All)” if you want to get the same universe of data from multiple sources and do something with CHOPs to “merge” that data.
