| Version = 3.3.0}}

DMXControl 3 was designed from the outset to work with a distributed system. For this reason, DMXControl 3 has always consisted of several program components that all communicate via a network protocol.

= Overview =
DMXControl 3 is divided into several essential components due to the [[Network Concept DMXC3|Network Concept]]:
* the {{Manual Windowcaption|[[GUI DMXC3|Graphical User Interface (GUI)]]}}, which handles the actual interaction with the user. This part of DMXControl 3 provides a classic user interface.
* the {{Manual Windowcaption|[[Kernel DMXC3|Kernel]]}}, which is responsible for calculating all effects and communicating with the connected interfaces.
* the {{Manual Windowcaption|[[Umbra DMXC3|Umbra]]}}, which serves as the central interface for coordinating network communication between all programs in the DMXControl network.

Only when these three components are active can device control be carried out. For example, if the GUI and Umbra are missing, the Kernel will continue to output the last determined state. This means that {{Manual Windowcaption|[[Cuelist DMXC3|Cuelists]]}} will continue to be executed.

= Key Features =

{{Manual Box | en | Attention | The session ID must not contain umlauts (such as ä, ö, ü) or other special characters like ß. Only characters from the ASCII code<ref>Detailed article on the ASCII code including a list of all characters contained in this code: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Standard_Code_for_Information_Interchange</ref> are allowed.}}

= Usage =
== Basic Requirements ==
For the separate operation of the {{Manual Windowcaption|[[GUI DMXC3|Graphical User Interface]]}}, {{Manual Windowcaption|[[Umbra DMXC3|Umbra]]}}, and {{Manual Windowcaption|[[Kernel DMXC3|Kernel]]}} on different PCs to work, the following requirements must be met:
* All components of the DMXC3 network must be able to reach the PC running Umbra. This can be checked using a ping, especially when setting up a more complex configuration.
* To allow communication between the components in the DMXC3 network, the ports listed below<ref>List of standardized network ports (English): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers</ref> must be allowed through the firewall. Typically, the firewall prompts for this upon first launch and adds these rules automatically.

In the {{Manual Windowcaption|[[Network Explorer DMXC3|Network Explorer]]}}, you get an overview of all active components within the local network. {{Manual Reference | arrow | For more information on usage, see the [[Network Explorer DMXC3|Network Explorer]] article.}}
