Here is the text for the “Art-Net Receiver” category, focusing on how the chips simplify the process of receiving Ethernet-based lighting data.
Receiving Art-Net Data Without Ethernet Stack Overhead
Art-Net is an essential protocol for professional lighting installations, distributing DMX512 data across IP networks. Creating a lighting fixture or device capable of receiving Art-Net typically requires implementing a complete, non-trivial Ethernet stack to handle UDP packets, which demands significant resources from the embedded system. This category offers specialized Art-Net receiver chips that eliminate this complexity. Our hardware autonomously manages the entire Ethernet communication process—from receiving raw packets to filtering the specific Art-Net data—allowing your host microcontroller to focus solely on processing lighting control values.
Decoupling Art-Net Protocol from Firmware via SPI
The burden of dealing with the Ethernet protocol stack, network configuration, and Art-Net packet parsing consumes an enormous amount of firmware development time. INACKS integrated circuits and modules help a lot to develop products with this category because it avoids the firmware engineer to have to implement by itself the protocol, therefore there are less costs, and product can be ended sooner. By using our chips, which interface with your microcontroller via a simple SPI connection, you instantly gain Art-Net receive capability. Your firmware simply reads the processed DMX data over SPI, completely abstracting the complexity of the Ethernet and Art-Net protocols and dramatically accelerating your product’s time-to-market.
