Description

The Ethernet - DMX2 MkII is an Ethernet node that serves 2 x DMX512 outlets, compatible with the following protocols: DMX512, DMX512-A, RDM (ANSI E1.20), sACN (ANSI E1.31) and Art-Net™.

All 2 outlets are conform to DMX512-A and can be used as input or output. The Ethernet link is a 100BaseT connection on a Neutrik RJ45 Ethercon connector, located on the front end.

All configuration can be done over Ethernet through a built in website.

This all comes in a 19'' unit high metal housing for the Ethernet-DMX2 MkII). The Ethernet-DMX2 Truss MkII comes in a rugged truss mountable metal housing with a M10 insert. This enclosure allows to use the node in a truss or as a table top device. The device provides also four punched holes at the rear, allowing the user to fix the converter on a wall. Please remove the 4 plastic caps to get access to these holes.
