Product Description
8-Port DMX Art-Net Ethernet Node with RDM
Product Overview
The 8-Port DMX Art-Net Ethernet Node with RDM is a professional lighting control interface designed to convert Art-Net data from lighting consoles, software, and network controllers into standard DMX512 output. It is suitable for auditoriums, theatres, stages, studios, event venues, pixel lighting systems, and professional lighting control networks.
The unit provides 8 standard DMX512 output ports and supports Art-Net data distribution through Ethernet network control. It is commonly used to expand DMX output capacity for lighting consoles such as Tiger Touch and MA2, and is also suitable for Art-Net compatible software such as Madrix.
Purpose
The purpose of this Art-Net node is to expand DMX output ports and distribute lighting control data over a network. It allows lighting designers and operators to control multiple DMX universes and large lighting systems from a single Art-Net compatible console, software, or controller.
It helps provide stable signal distribution, flexible network control, and organized DMX output management for professional stage lighting systems.
