DMX Outputs
The ‘DMX Outputs’ table allows all settings to be modified

the DMX output. For Art-net universes, please change
Net/Subnet to increase the combined universe beyond 15.
(Combined universe is shown under the selection).
Refresh Rate
Select appropriate refresh rate to control how often the
output is refreshed.
0 = Follows source (no repeats)
Max = Send as fast as possible

sending the same universe to the port. Maximum of 2
sources are permitted to be merged to create a new output. Select between the following options:
None: Merging is disabled. Supports 1 source only
HTTP: Highest Takes Precedence (2 sources)
