Question: does it make any difference what I use as protocol (Artnet or Sacn) for the use of a zeros server as tracking backup?

My rig is totally running on Sacn at the moment, sometimes with the addition of the physical DMX-outputs on my desk. (FLX) . This is my setup since I own the FLX and it runs great.

I'm considering adding a zeros server in my stagerack, which is always connected via network to my desk anyway for Sacn operation.

Others please do correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't see it making a difference depending on the protocol as they're both reliable unless something later down the line failed in which case a backup desk wouldn't solve the issue. So it shouldn't do as I can't see the desk failing exclusively with sACN.

Yep, OK, point taken. My take on it was affected by wanting static i/p addresses in my network.

Not that I've used TB, just wanted a network I could use it on without re-configuration.

Ah ok gotcha, makes sense. Sorry wasn't trying to be hostile or anything just wanted to provide all the options :)
