sACN (Streaming ACN) is an ANSI-recognized communication protocol (E1.31) for transfering DMX-512 packets over an IP network. In most cases, this means building a network using Ethernet cables. sACN is primariliy a unicast or multicast protocol, and allows for up to 63,999 universes on a single network. The SkyPanel X is especially well suited for sACN networking: two Ethernet ports allow for daisy-chaining of Ethernet cables, just as you would expect from a traditional DMX-512 network.
