Connection

HDMI / DPQLC+Art-Net / sACN / OSCSwitch / 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. Tab Inputs/Outputs, choose the universe.

  2. Tick Output for ArtNet or E1.31 on the network adapter in the VJ-Link range; in the configuration set the target IP or broadcast.

  3. Same computer: use the loopback adapter 127.0.0.1.

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.
