Daslight 4 (DVC4) and Daslight 5.

Daslight is common with mobile DJs and in small clubs. It can send Art-Net and take MIDI, and VJ-Link can also be mapped to Daslight's MIDI output.

Connection

HDMI / DPDaslightArt-Net / MIDISwitch / routerVJ-LinkcomputerProjector / LED wall
Network cable from the desk to the VJ-Link computer, the picture goes by HDMI or DisplayPort.

On the desk

  1. In the hardware settings of Daslight add an Art-Net output (Daslight 5: hardware manager; DVC4: Art-Net option in the setup).

  2. Set the universe VJ-Link listens to and the VJ-Link computer as target or broadcast.

  3. Without Art-Net: use MIDI. Map Daslight buttons and faders in VJ-Link with MAPPING → MIDI.

Patch

  1. Patch VJ-Link on the universe and start address you set in VJ-Link under Settings → DMX and network, as 91 channels: either as a fixture type built from the CSV channel list (Settings → DMX and network → Save channel list (CSV)) or as 91 single dimmers.

  2. Put the channels you need on faders or executors: master (1), scene (3), the color slots (9–28) and the layer opacities (29, 39, 49, 59) are a good start.

  3. Move a fader and watch CONNECT → Live values in VJ-Link: the bar of the channel moves, the DMX pill at the top turns green.

Tip

With LJ-Link, Daslight gets the tempo over Ableton Link and VJ-Link the same tempo directly: lights and visuals run in one beat.
