that will allow proper ventilation. Allow
about 6 inches (20 cm) between this device
and a wall.

• Power-supply cords should be routed so

that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against
them, pay particular attention to the point
they enter and exit the unit.

Software Features

• Web configurable

• Firmware updateable

• Supports the following DMX over Ethernet

protocols:

o Art-Net
o Streaming ACN (sACN)

• Configurable Static or Dynamic (DHCP) IP

(DHCP by default).

• Netmask and gateway updateable

• Supports up to 8 ethernet universes

(maximum of 4 universes per output port)

• Configurable pixel ordering.

• Monitors and maintains device temperature

• Monitors and displays the power consumed

by each output

• Detects and indicates when the power

consumed by an output is on or above the
recommended value

• Monitors and displays the network traffic

for the DMX over ethernet protocol enabled:

o Data packets received and sent
o Last IP data received from
o Poll packets received

• Easily extendable network – daisy chain

ethernet connection

• Web faders for instant testing of setup

LED Status

Pixel Triton has 8 LED indicators:

• Power LED

• Device Activity LED

• Link and activity LED (each ethernet port)

• Output limit indicator for each output

Power

• This LED is red in colour

• Indicates that the internal power supply is

working, and the unit is ready to operate

• If the LED is off after the mains cable is

connected to a working wall outlet, it means
that there is a problem in the unit.

Activity LED

• This LED indicates the status of Pixel Triton

and should be constantly flashing.
Operating status of the LED is as follows:

Link 1 and Link 2

Each LED indicates a connection has been
established using the corresponding ethernet port

Activity 1 and Activity 2

Shows transmit and receive activity of each
ethernet port

Output 1/2 limited

Indicates if the load, connected to the
corresponding output port, is consuming or above
the recommended operational power value

LED rate

Status

0.5Hz

Device functions normally

Always
on

2 or more different IPs sending ethernet
data to the same output universe

Wiring Diagram

• Always check that the voltage and output of Pixel Triton matches that of the tape/dots, before connecting.

• Network delay: 96 micro seconds per unit, for a standard 600 bytes Art-Net packet (when connected in network

daisy chain)

• Only one ethernet source must be used to drive the device at any single time.

• Ensure distance between Triton data output and tape/dot data input is not more than 50 cm

• Through connection can be made with any of the three models Pixel Port, Pixel Octo or Pixel Triton

Default IP

Right out of the box, the Pixel Triton is factory
configured to be a DHCP node, so you can plug it
into your existing router, and it's good to go.

If router is unable or slow to assign an IP address
to the driver the default static IP Address is used.
Default static IP address is provided on a label in
the box. However, one can easily calculate the IP
address, using the MAC address as follows:

10.(byte 1). (byte 2). (byte 3)

Note

Where the three bytes are the last three bytes of the mac
address in decimal.

For e.g.:

• If mac address is 0050C207C8A8 where last three

bytes are 07, C8 and A8 default static IP for the
above mac 10.7.200.168

• Where byte 1 07 is 7 in decimal

• Where byte 2 C8 is 200 in decimal

• Where byte 3 A8 is 168 in decimal

Using the IP address, one can access the built-in
web-interface of the Pixel Triton via any modern
web-browser. The web-interface allows the
settings of the unit to be changed

Finding IP Address Using NMU

ENTTEC provides a free App (available for Windows
and Mac) called NMU (Node Management Utility)
that finds the Pixel Triton and displays its IP
address.

Note:

Pixel Triton is only supported by NMU V1.92 and above.

Please follow these steps:

1. Download NMU from www.enttec.com

2. Pixel Triton should be connected physically

by an Ethernet cable to the same physical
network (or router) as the computer on
which you will run NMU.

3. Open NMU. If prompted with multiple

network interfaces, select the correct one to
which the Pixel Triton is connected to

4. Press the Discovery button, and wait till

NMU finds all supported ENTTEC devices

5. Once found, select Pixel Triton and use the IP

address to access the web-interface
