Friends REALLY need help! By How to connect Avolites Arena via ArtNet to ArtGate? How to set up this connection? There is one twisted pair cable coming from ArtGate. There is an IP address from ArtGate. I used to always have it connected via dmx. I really need it, please what should I press?)))
I'm trying to follow the manual, but it's somehow confusing
Thank you!
