The ArtNet AllianceThe ArtNet Alliance is a key industry group made up of major lighting control manufacturers. The purpose of the Alliance is to promote the widespread adoption of the ArtNet Ethernet Standard. The ArtNet Alliance continues to expand and now includes the following manufacturers: "ArtNet is the only public domain Ethernet Standard in the market place. That is the reason the ArtNet Alliance is growing at such a rate. We regularly receive emails congratulating us for the decision to put ArtNet into the public domain.", comments Wayne Howell of Artistic Licence. "The aspect I find most pleasing is that we see both large and small companies supporting ArtNet. Over the next twelve months, I think we will see a vast expansion in new ArtNet products." The ArtNet Standard allows over 250 Universes of DMX512 to be transported by Ethernet cable. This provides a very economical solution for the distribution of lighting data. Issues such as 'merging' are built into the standard and no longer require separate products. Perhaps most important is the wide range of options offered by Ethernet. Radio Ethernet is now widely available, providing low cost options for 'Radio DMX' solutions. See also:
