Description
Identify which universe an unknown cable carries.
- Instant universe ID — Broadcasts a unique 8-bit “ID value” on a single DMX channel for a range of universes. Plug a DMX viewer (e.g., DMXcat) into the cable: the value you read equals the universe number. No guessing, no scrolling through test pages.
- Zero patch changes — Sends test output without touching your patch, presets, or sequences. Safe to run anytime.
- Fast range targeting — Limit the check to a range (e.g., 9–24) to stay focused on the part of your network that matters.
- Saved settings — All settings used will be saved for fast access and release.
- Road-ready — Perfect when someone has messed up the connections, find out what cable carries which universe at the cable end of things.
- Companion tool — “Uni-Check – PatchScanner” lists which universes are patched in your show file.
What’s included
- Uni-Check
Generator tool that transmits a universe-coded value on a chosen DMX channel across all selected universes simultaneously. - Uni-Check — PatchScanner
Reporter tool that scans your show file and prints which universes are patched.
Compatibility & notes
- Platform: grandMA3 (consoles & onPC).
- Tested on: v2.3.x and newer. Behavior is protocol-agnostic (physical DMX or network output like sACN/Art-Net).
- Universe cap: Because the ID uses an 8-bit DMX value, the tool intentionally excludes universes above 255.
- Viewer: Works with any DMX viewer that can display a specific channel value (DMXcat, node monitors, tester apps, etc.).
- Network mapping: If your node remaps universes (e.g., MA3 Universe 1 → sACN 101, Artnet 0=1), read the value with that mapping in mind.
- Show safety: Make sure you don´t have anything patched at the test-channel before testing.
