PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Pathport 6824 4-Port DMX/RDM gateway is a compact gateway for
encoding, routing and decoding DMX512 data over a standard
Ethernet network. In addition to DMX, the Pathport 4-Port supports RDM
discovery and configuration data transport.
DIN-rail mountable for fast installation in existing cabinets, or also
available as part of a complete ETL-listed assembly.
FEATURES
• Four DMX512 ports - user configurable as input or output
• E1.11 DMX512A and E1.20 Remote Device Management (RDM)
compliant
• LED indicators for port direction, processor activity, Ethernet link
activity and Identify
• Operates on 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet or on a 24-48V wide-
range DC input
• Pluggable screw terminal connector block for power IN
• Two sets of pluggable terminal blocks for all DMX512 connections
to support both shielded twisted pair and Cat5/6
• Supports the following DMX/Ethernet protocols:
• Art-Net
• E1.31 streaming ACN (sACN)
• Pathport Protocol
• Strand Shownet
• Fully compatible with all Pathport gateways and eDIN interfaces
• Configuration is set using Pathscape, a free download from
pathwayconnect.com
• Soft patch allows mix-and-match of different protocols
• Route DMX according to universe or channel-by-channel
• Multiple sources may be merged and/or prioritized
• Fully customize DMX output universes
• MicroSD card allows configuration to be archived and/or copied to
another 6824
• Contact closure input (features added in future firmware updates)
