One-Port Gateway
DMX and RDM to Ethernet in a wall-mount or portable enclosure
ETC's DMX/RDM One-Port Gateway provides data distribution using the quality and reliability of ETC's network development. Built for using industry-standard streaming ACN (sACN), the One-Port Gateway unlocks the power of your networked system. It also uses bidirectional Ethernet communication with other network devices to send or receive DMX512 and Remote Device Management (RDM) signals.
The One-Port Gateway supports up to 512 addresses of control and is available for use as a wall-mount, DIN-rail, or portable gateway. Optional pipe-mount kits are also available.
Two-Port Gateway
Delivers two ports of DMX defined in software as an input and an output
ETC's Two-Port Gateway is a DMX and RDM distribution device built on the quality and reliability of ETC's network development. Built for network systems using industry standard streamingACN (sACN), the Two-Port Gateway is compatible with ETC network system products. The DMX Gateway uses bidirectional Ethernet communication with other network devices to send or receive DMX512 data and RDM messages. The Two-Port Gateway supports two DMX input or DMX output connectors, to transport up to 1024 addresses of DMX over Ethernet.
The Two-Port DMX Gateway is available for use as a wall-mount, or pipe-mount device.
Four-Port Gateway
Provides network data distribution via configurable ports on the rear of the unit
ETC's Four-Port Gateway is a DMX and RDM distribution device built on the quality and reliability of ETC's network development. Built for networking systems using industry standard streaming ACN™ (sACN) protocol, the Four-Port Gateway is compatible with ETC network system products. It uses bidirectional Ethernet communication with other network devices to send or receive DMX512 data and RDM messages. The Four-Port Gateway supports up to four DMX inputs and outputs, Terminal Strip and RJ45 connections in any combination to transport up to 2048 channels of DMX over Ethernet.
The DMX/RDM Four-Port Gateway is available for use as a table-top unit, rack-mount, pipe-mount, or DIN-rail-mounted device. Each Gateway may be configured with as few as one port or up to four ports, with each port independently defined as an output or an input.
What are ACN, Net3 and RDM?
ACN - Architecture for Control Networks is a standard for high-speed bidirectional communication over TCP/IP on Ethernet network infrastructure. ACN is a suite of protocols used between network devices for the purpose of greater and more adaptive control in lighting applications.
Net3 - Net3 is one of ETC's standard ACN interoperability profiles (the 'rules' for how different devices will work together) providing additional communication between devices that is not yet specified or standardized.
RDM - Remote Device Management is a protocol enhancement to DMX512 that allows bidirectional communication between a system controller and attached RDM-compliant devices over a standard DMX line. This allows configuration, status monitoring, and management of the connected RDM devices.
