Ladies and gentlemen, step right up and learn about the latest and greatest protocol to take the lighting industry by storm. It’s not DMX, it’s not Art-Net, and it’s not ACN. No, I am talking about ANSI E1.31. Automated lighting programmers will find E1.31 easy to use. It’s basically a simple implementation of the well-known DMX protocol. No changes to programming procedures or methods are required. With some simple console configuration you too can be making use of E1.31 within no time and sending multiple DMX universes over Ethernet with ease.
