Using an ECG-P12R and an E680

[Denny]

I plan to use both an ECG-P12R and an E680 this year.  I have the ECG-P12R set up and running well with 12 universes. How do I add the E680 into the mix now.  I need to run 12 ea, 50 pixel strips.

Just use different universes. Each controller will have a different IP address. If you are using uni-cast the different IP address matters in the E1.31 network setup - if using multicast, that does not matter.

Thanks Jim, that's what I thought.  I think what confused me was the statement that the universe number entered here is always 1-4, and corresponds to one of the four actual physical universes that are assigned to the four DMX socket in the Pixel String Configuration.  Rereading the paragraph, it looks like I ignored the next sentence; now, it makes sense to me.
