Start Universe

The Start Universe menu option is used to set the node’s Ports universe numbers sequentially starting from Port 1, the protocol menu option above defines the protocol used for the node’s DMX ports. When setting the Start Universe, this also sets the Port universes for all ports of the node, with the ports universes increasing by 1 sequentially.

This setting overrides any manually set universe number configuration for ALL ports of the node and not just the first port of the node.

For example if the Node is set in Art-Net Mode and 'Start Universe' is set to 0, then Port 1 of the Node would be set to Art-Net 0 and Port 2 Art-Net 1 and so on. If 'Start Universe' is set to 10, then Port 1 would be set to Art-Net 10, Port 2 Art-Net 11, Port 3 Art-Net 12 and so on.
