Receive Art-Net Timecode

We start with an empty project. To start receiving Art-Net Timecode, you click on the add component '+' button on the top left of the start screen.

In the bar that pops up, you click 'Receiver'.

A receiver is added to your project. You select 'Art-Net' as the input source by clicking the [Art-Net] button, which will then turn green.

To configure the Art-Net source, you click the settings button. Here you can set the following settings:

  • Pre roll: the number of seconds of timecode received to wait before locking to the timecode stream
  • Post roll: the number of seconds to remain playing the timecode when the source has stopped receiving timecode
  • The network device IP-address: The network adapter to use for receiving the Art-Net timecode. 127.0.0.1 is the local loop-back adapter.
  • The clock display mode
    • HH:MM:SS:FF: Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames
    • HH:MM:SS:MM: Hours:Minutes:Seconds:1/100th seconds
    • HH:MM:SS:MMM: Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Milliseconds
    • HH:MM:SS: Hours:Minutes:Seconds

When you have an Art-Net timecode stream running, that outputs to the selected IP-address, the receiver will start running and lock to the incoming timecode stream. It will display the frame rate below the clock.

When you have created a Sender component, you can draw a routing from the Art-Net receiver to the Sender and start converting timecode.
