Tick the passthrough box.Until Dave or somebody more knowledgeable gets back to you here are my thoughts:ġ. QLC : In the input/output tab at the bottom, in universe 1, select Artnet 1:10.100.100.1 as input and DMX USB as output. In Light settings, add instruments and choose output artnet (with 0 0 0), don't forget to (auto)-patch. QLab : In Qlab preferences, set Artnet lighting network interface to automatic and tick the use broadcast mode.

#QLAB DMX OUTPUT MAC#

This creates a virtual IP, you need to redo this step everytime you shutdown your mac it seems. In your mac terminal, type in 'sudo ifconfig en1 alias 10.100.100.1/24 up' I found a terminal command to add a virtual ip adresse (or at least that's the way I understood it)

The trick was to have it working when not connected to a wifi network. Therefor to work, the wifi card needs to be activated!

The communication between the 2 softwares uses the wifi network interface (because I would never use wifi during a live show anyway). I ended up here hoping to find a solution, many many hours later I found one myself I thought it would be a good place to share!ĭon't ask me to go into details, I don't know, I'm just a user Corresponds to qlab addresses correctly from what I can see.ĭo I need to do something with channels groups? Is there something else I should do to make the fixture groups? The first fixture is Universe 1 - Address 1 - last is Universe 1 - Address 18.

Is there something I'm supposed to do with the 'Profile' section? in inputs/outputs I have also tried it using a completely separate Mac running qlab lights and both machines can see each other on the local area network, but I still don't get any art-net data coming in one either the wifi ip ArtNet or ethernet ip ArtNet addresses. When I have 192.168.1.21 or 44 selected, I don't get any incoming packets received in QLC+ that I can see. I've tried using the passthrough check button both on and off, but nothing. I can see receiving packets increase when I have 127.0.0.1 selected (I don't actually know what 127.0.0.1 is, not that tech savvy), but don't know what data it is being received, nor can I get QLC+ to respond when I move the lighting channel faders in QLAB. On Universe 1 I've got 3 Art-Net options to choose from for input plugin: I can slide the faders up and down in QLC+ and it works outputting into the usb dmx ok. In QLC+ I've created a bunch of simple dimmer type fixtures to monitor them for any input and have patched universe 1 output to the USB DMX dongle.

#QLAB DMX OUTPUT PATCH#

My QLAB lighting patch settings are Output: Art-Net, Universe: 0, Sub-Net: 0, Net: 0 This would be all done on the one computer (not physically networking two machines etc if possible) I was hoping I could use QLC+ to bridge the ArtNet that qlab can send out into the QLC+ ArtNet plugin and then pass it out again to the USB DMX. These lighting cues are I want to pass out to some simple dimmer only controlled DMX lights. I have a bunch of sequences already in QLAB 4 that are mainly visual and audio and that have lighting cues timed into it. I have a USB DMX dongle that QLC+ see's but QLAB 4 won't see as compatible.
