THEY FIXED IT! It’s not a proper ArtNet Node. - UPDATE: Vshow has released a V2 that will properly hold the dmx value of the last artnet packet. The unit works great!! Please look at the posed video I have created for a quick review. https://youtu.be/CcrDrIXwysI PREVIOUS RESPONSE (V1): This was sort of my mistake in buying the product however this must be informed. The unit is labeled as an ArtNet merge. While this is technically true, it isn’t. I was expecting that this node would hold the DMX value if ArtNet packets were not being sent. This was not the case. After 3 seconds of no ArtNet packet data. The unit would turn off all channels and return to 0. This is because if another ArtNet signal in port 2 was being sent it would switch over. If there’s no ArtNet packet being set however (like a stationary look) it will shut off within 3 seconds. There is no hold DMX function which made me return the unit and opting for another ArtNet node without any merge function. Review: Works on Chamsys MagicQ in demo mode. - The directions are good. But some of the stuff is dated. But still way worth it. I set it up on a mac through the ethernet port. Spent an entire night trying to learn how then watched a u tube video that explained what to do. So. For others. In summery. Your going to set the Io address of your computer, the softwere, and the hardware to (because this is where I had so much trouble) Ip: 2.0.0.X (X will all be different numbers as in 1/2/3/4/5/6 up to 244) The sub-mask all will be set to 255.255.255.0. On the devices set each channnel to artnet. It will make since when you get in their. And set each universe on each channel starting with 1 as 0 2 as 1 etc. thats kinda it. So artnet is cool. I have two computers set on a 15 dollar switch/hub and i can put the program from either and run it. So get this. Free program that is awesome. Download chamsys magicg. Get this or another but this turned out great for the price. And you will have eight universes of dmx. Also about v show. I was shocked after buying this that I actually have a lot of lots from desertcart from v show and they have lasted. Even the super cheap stuff from six years ago. They are dated. But they work. Ill try to upload a video. ## Features - 【Introduction】 It supports 8 Artnet universes total 4096 channels .

It registers on the panel and firmware side it does seem to be detecting an input on both A and B, and my status indicators on my lights say they are receiving when plugged into the corresponding outputs, but it appears that the channels are being zeroed out or not relayed at all. Don't even get me started on the setup of Art-net, nowhere does it say how to connect this to your computer or existing network, and after basic troubleshooting and scouring the internet I am still unable to get this to work. My router or network switch do not detect it at all, unless plugged into the WAN port which still doesn't work. Not happy considering this was a decent chunk of change and the whole reason I bought it was for Art-net. ## Frequently Bought Together - V-Show Artnet RDM DMX sACN Controller - 3 PIN DMX Splitter XLR Input and output, 4096 DMX Channel 8 Port Signal Amplifier for Stage Lighting Shows (42-FZQO-78RJ) - Cable Matters 2-Pack 5 Pin to 3 Pin DMX Lighting Cable - 6 Inches, 5Pin Male to 3Pin Female XLR/DMX Adapter Cable, Black - Czgor DMX Cable 6.5 ft, 10 Pack Flexible 3 Pin XLR Male to Female Cable Wire for Stage Lighting Signal XLR Connection Stage Light Wire for Par Light Moving Head Spotlight Input & Output --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/388142524-8-port-dmx-artnet-rdm-console](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/388142524-8-port-dmx-artnet-rdm-console) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
