Large scale DMX controlled setup

Sadly no I'm not, and unlikely to be anywhere close for a while due to the pandemic. But.... if I can make my brain work properly today then I might be able to think of people who are. Drop me your contact details by DM on here, if you want. No promises!

And - we're here to help. Even if this hasn't helped you much, the next person who does a search on DMX on here will find this thread, and it might help them.

@marcuswareham Thank you!
Hereby some more information:

I have been talking to a supplier in China and they told me I can daisy chain 4 of their artNET AS_832M, and have the last one connect to the pc like so:

These can connect with Madrix, Madmapper or resolume, and look like this:

They can take up to 5440 pixels each, meaning I would need 4 artNET’s, instead of 92 dmx drivers.
Or are there good reasons to avoid "cheaper" Chinese artNET's ?

The pixel strip I'm planning on using is: WS-2815 led strip, 12V, 60led/m, IP67.
I've been told a single pair of RSP-3000s power supply should run the entire 260 meters (15,600 pixels) of pixel strip.

Please feel free to call me out if I'm doing something absurdly stupid, I would very much appreciate it
As far as I am aware, this seems to be the way to control 260 meters of led's live via pc?

Cheers,
Tim

Sorry i didn't reply, I have been working overnight, but it seems rockingit has got you covered although

I send an envelope to an address, but the postal worker puts multiple letters in their bag, multiple bags into the van, multiple vans into lorries. ArtNet is our lorry

nice analogy

Very useful info, thanks. Using DMX at a theatre in Arundel, West Sussex, only one universe but was (until now) clueless about Artnet, nodes, etc. loved your explanation and useful drawings.
