I've been doing a lot of research and I'm sure I've been missing something simpley, yet key, to doing this. As of now this is just theory but I'm trying to get the money approved to upgrade my facility's console and want to have all the needs figured out before I do. Currently we are running an ETC Emphasis server to our Net2 sensor racks. We have almost 2 full universes of conventional dimming, plus another 1/4 universe of automated fixtures.
I want to upgrade to the Jands Vista T2. I can control 4 universes just fine, coming out of the console and into the node. But what about the other universes? I cannot find any converters that will go from a protocol that Jands speaks to ETCNet2 over Ethernet. So my options only look like I can use the 4 physical ports, which work just fine for universes 1-4 and then I could use an Art-Net to DMX converter with DMX going from the converter to the second NET2 node and attaching to one of my extra Net2 ethernet ports. But I hate going through an extra converter. Would this cause latency issues? Is this the best option out there or are there Art-Net to Net2 converters that I just haven't seen?
