14.4.1 Example CITP setup

This example shows how to set up a Hippotizer with Titan Mobile.

1> Connect the console and Hippotizer to the network. (You can

connect the Hippotizer directly to the console, if no other

devices are being connected, using a crossover patch cable).

2> Set up the IP addresses and subnet masks of the console and

Hippo so that they are on the same address range, for example

192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2.

3> If you are using Titan Mobile or Titan Simulator ensure the

firewall on your PC is disabled. Also ensure the Hippo machine

is not running a firewall.

4> Run the Hippo system. Make sure the CITP component is

running.

5> Switch the console to System mode and select [DMX Settings].

6> On the left hand side under Art-Net you should see the Hippo

with its IP address. Click on it and then on the right hand side

click on the DMX line you want to use it with.

7> On the Hippo node on the left hand side, click the ‘i’ button and

set the Universe number to match the universe setting on the

Hippo.

8> Exit System mode back to the default menu.

9> Close and restart the Titan software.

10> Go into Patch mode and select [Active Fixtures]. You should see

the Hippo with its IP address as a softkey option.

11> Select the Hippo, then set the DMX line to match the line you

set in Step 6.

12> Press an empty fixture handle to patch. The console will

automatically patch the required layers and master layer as a

series of fixture buttons.

13> Now if you select a fixture and open the Attribute Editor window

you should see the media thumbnails.

The next time you start the system, ensure the Hippo is powered up

before you start the console.

If you decide to re-patch to a different DMX address you will need to

re-start the Hippotizer software. You will also need to reset the Art-

Net nodes if you are moving across DMX lines.

14.5 All about IP addressing

This section attempts to explain the basics of IP addressing, and what

you will need to know when setting up a lighting control network.

IP addresses will normally come in the format “w.x.y.z” where w, x, y

and z are numbers between 0 and 255. For example

“298.23.46.166”. Every object (or node or device) on a network

should have a unique IP address. This is the same concept as DMX as

each fixture requires a unique DMX address, for IP addresses the

same is required.

14.5.1 Setting your IP address

The console has a setup function to quickly set its IP address as

described on page
