I am running Capture 2025 on windows 11. I use a basic physical DMX lighting console with one universe output. I put the DMX ouput from the console into a Chauvet AN2 device powered by a POE switch as this AN2 device allows DMX in and sACN out. I also check to ensure I am getting a sACN signal by using a sACN veiwer. I am able to run this setup and control the fixtures in Capture when I am connected to the internet.

However when I want to run this as a standalone setup Capture blocks the sACN signal. My stand alone setup is my console plugged into the Chauvet AN2 powered by a POE switch. My computer running capture is also plugged into the same POE switch. I validate I can see sACN as I see it on my sACN veiwer software prior to opeiing Capture. I can see the sACN channel levels moce up an down when i raise and lower my sliders on the console. However once I open Capture the sACN signal disappears in the sACN veiwer and when I look at the connection options in capture it does not show sACN as a selectable signal. I cannot control capture from my console in this setup. 

I think this would be a network setting but it is odd it runs fine when connected to the internet. Obvioulsy there must be others who have run a stand alone setup before. While connecting to a console to Capture is a common setup I find it frustrating that Capture blocks any sACN signal in this setup. I would have hoped that Capture would just see a sACN sighal and accept that as a selectable option to connect to. I have not seen any details on standalone setups other than those that are specifci to different consoles.
