3rd Party Console Support

GeNetix products are compatible with 3rd party / other manufacturer consoles. GeNetix Nodes support industry standard protocols such as Art-Net and sACN and are fully compatible with 3rd party consoles and software supporting these protocols when used as an Ethernet-DMX node.

There are some features of GeNetix Nodes which use ChamSys ChamNet protocol, which are not compatible with 3rd party consoles such as sending of MIDI notes over Network.
