• ARTNET UNIVERSE
For DMX512, each universe represents a separate electrical circuit (up to 512 devices/channels).  For ArtNet 
however, DMX data is broadcasted over an Ethernet network, so every device will receive every packet of 
data, whether they belong to that universe or not.  This control specifies which universe the projector belongs 
to, so it can filter out all other data packets. The Universe...

these features, it will not overwrite their settings. If keystone is simply enabled again, the same...

What is a Blend?
In simple terms, a blend appears as a gradient strip along an edge of a 
projected image. It is darkest along the extreme edge of the image, and 
lightens nearer to the rest of the image (see right).
How Are Blends Used?
In multiple-projector walls, complementary blends between neighboring 
images can compensate for the extra “brightness” or intensity where these 
edges overlap. By...
