Universe

In QDmx, each device, or network is managed by a driver and is composed of one or more universes. An universe is a DMX 512 "channel". A single universe can either output DMX data, or input DMX data. Most devices provide only output universes.

Permanent Identifier

Each universe have an identifier called "Permanent Identifier". This identifier is a string that allow to designate a same universe, in the same state across clients and reboots. The identifier is composed by a prefix, defined by the universe driver, and informations about universe.

Some driver allow you to configure universe for a given permanent identifier. As that identifier contains essential informations, it allow to fully setup the universe. Anyway, the admin tool provide a front-end to setup easily any universe that allow it.
