Titan Mobile

[SBLD]

Somehow I had this working earlier and now no matter what I do it won't now, so time to admit I may need a hint!

 

Running Avolites Titan mobile on the same laptop as WYSIWYG R27. Earlier on today I had them connected,

patched and had control of my rig - now nothing!

 

I have set up the TM to output Artnet, am using Luminex Wygalizer, Wyg is connected to eth-DMX,

universes are binded, the IP addresses match, but I have no control. What could I possibly be doing wrong?

I have also tried running Artistic License's 'DMX workshop' which doesn't seem to be able to find any

Art-net running in the system. I am confused.

 

Any handy hints would be appreciated!

 

Thanks.

Hey man.

 

Contact Emma at:

emma@avolites.com

 

Or call up and ask for Emma or Greg.

020 8965 8522

 

Note, they will be a little busy as PLASA has just finished. But someone should be able to help you out.

 

 

Cheers.

Thanks Trev.

 

I know Emma quite well, just didn't want to bother anyone at Avolites

if someone else happened to know more than I do about Titan Mobile

and wyg. Not hard I can assure you!

If you're running any kind of visualiser on the same machine as the Titan Mobile (or other PC based lighting software I imagine), then you'll need to have a loop back adaptor installed on the PC so it can talk Artnet to itself.

 

It's a windows thing rather than an Avo thing, so a quick google should bring up some instructions, if not, call Greg in software and I'm sure he'll be able to put his Windows knowledge to good use:

Hope this helps!

Hi,

 

Are both ip addresses set to 127.0.0.1? That is the default loopback adpater ip address.

 

Cheers,

My IP address in Titan, Luminex Wyalizer and loopback adaptor are all set to 2.0.0.1 Sub mask 255.255.255.0

I have tried setting the loopback IP to 127.0.0.1, but windows tells me that I can't use this address as it is reserved

for loopback adaptors? Strange. Also when my laptop is connected via ethernet cable to a particular desk top it all works

fine. Tried the same settings with another laptop and nothing. I am all out of ideas! I really need to get this loopback working.

If you are not connected to a network then windows turns off your network card. This is why it will work when connected to a desk but not when dis-connected.

 

Something like this for XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/839013

Ok so eventually cast software got back to me and as it turns out no loopback apaptors are needed,

and also R27 recognises art-net directly now, so no need for third party software such as wygalizer.

The problem then becomes Titan not seeing any networks does not give you any options to connect and stream art-net.

I managed to change the IP of my wireless network, connected titan to wyg, and then changed it back again and it seems

to be working fine, and my wireless internet runs parallel with no issues. Oh how I would love to go back to the days of

analogue!
