Short for Advanced Control Network. ACN (or the ANSI BSR E1.17 standard) is a future standard for using Ethernet to send DMX data. ACN will be on top of Ethernet, in principle defining how the DMX signal is to be transmitted thru Ethernet and NOT BY W-LAN. It’s possible to use WLAN as Carrier for Ethernet and then ACN on top of Ethernet. There is no problem to still have ACN/ART-NET in a fixture like Martin, HES and others, and still have our W-DMX system for wireless DMX.
