IntroductionThank you for choosing the Art SSC and Art IO. This manual discussing setting up the units andprogramming the lighting cues, show-control-actions and various other features.The Art SSC and Art IO share for a large part the same functionality. When discussing those functionsthis manual will refer to the 'device'; this means both the Art SSC and Art IO.Art SSCThe Art SSC is solid-state lighting controller, designed without any moving parts, it is build for reliabilityand durability.The unit is aimed at providing a control solution for(semi-)permanent lighting projects. The Art SSC primarycontrol signal is DMX-512, the protocol used forentertainment, theatre and most LED lighting ;xtures.Next to DMX-512 this controller also supports a range ofother protocols; allowing communication with variousother equipment.An internal web-server provides the web-interface through which you can program the Art SSC. Amodern browser is required to access this web-interface during set-up. A browser or computer is notrequired for standalone use after the set-up.It features:– 2 independent, optically isolated DMX-512 outputs– optically isolated DMX-512 input– MIDI in, through and out (with MTC input)– SMPTE time-code input– GPI port with 4 contact closures– Ethernet port with support of Art-Net, OSC & UDP– Lighting controller with 256 cues– DMX-512 and Art-Net recorder with 16 memories– Real-time clock scheduling– aTouch compatibilityArt IOThe Art IO is an expansion module in the Art SSC. It oFers interfacing to digital and analogue inputs anddigital outputs and supports various protocols like DMX,RS-232, OSC, UDP and Art-Net.The Art IO features 8 inputs that can be individuallycon;gured as digital or analogue input. The 8 outputs onthe Art IO are relay-switched and can handle 3 Amp. Thedigital outputs can be used to switched various otherdevices like A/V equipment, blinds or heavy-duty relays.Additionally, the Art IO is ;tted with a DMX-512 port thatcan be con;gured as input or output, and a bi-directional2
