# ArtNet

This plugin enables outputting DMX values via the ArtNet protocol.

It comes with a number of built-in fixture profiles. You can add your own using the [Expression DMX Patching](/plugins/artnet/expression-dmx-patching.md) feature. Loading of industry standard fixture profiles will be supported in the future.

## How To Use

To use this plugin you need to enable one of the universes (ArtNet, ArtNet2 or ArtNet3) through the [Settings](/guide/views/settings.md) menu.

Each universe can be configured individually using the [JSON configuration ](/guide/external-configuration.md)files.

You can set the target IP address as well as the Universe (starting from 0).

Here is an example configuration file setting up all the available outputs:

```
{
  "ArtNet": {
    "IP": "127.0.0.1",
    "Universe": 0
  },
  "ArtNet2": {
    "IP": "192.168.0.99",
    "Universe": 0
  },
  "ArtNet3": {
    "IP": "192.168.0.99",
    "Universe": 1
  }
}

```
