Response DMX/RDM Four-Port GatewayETC

PoE 802.3af

GENERAL INFORMATION

ETC’s Response DMX/RDM Four-Port Gateway provides data distribution using the quality and reliability of ETC’s network technology. Built for Net3 using industry-standard streaming ACN and sACN, the Response Gateway unlocks the power of your networked system. The Response Gateway also uses bidirectional Ethernet communication with other network devices to send or receive DMX512 and Remote Device Management (RDM) signals.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

DMX512

Often shortened to DMX (Digital Multiplex), this communication protocol is used mainly to control dimmers and multi-parameter ﬁxtures. A universe of DMX is deﬁned as 512 channels. DMX sends a nearly continuous stream of level information for each control channel. It is a form of RS-485 digital serial communication.

RDM

Remote Device Management (ANSI E1.20) is a protocol enhancement to DMX512 that allows low-speed bidirectional communication between a system controller and attached RDM devices over a standard DMX line. This protocol will allow remote conﬁguration, status monitoring, and management of devices.

sACN

Streaming ACN (ANSI E1.31), sends DMX-style control over TCP/ IP networks. It provides a fast and efﬁcient mechanism to transport the well-understood DMX protocol over Ethernet using an industrystandard protocol.

ACN

Architecture for Control Networks (ANSI E1.17) is a standard for high-speed bidirectional communication over TCP/IP on Ethernet network infrastructure. ACN is an open suite of protocols used between network devices for the purposes of greater and more adaptive control.

NET3

ETC’s enhanced implementation of the standard ACN Protocol Suite (ANSI E1.17 and E1.31) including additional communication protocols for specialized applications and support of legacy systems.
