ENTTEC DMXEtherGate Mk2

The DMXEtherGate Mk2 is the evolution of the DMXEtherGate. The new DMXEtherGate has 2 output or input ports, supports multiple protocols and is configured using any web browser thanks to the built in webpage.

• Plug and play or configured operations
• 2 input, 2 output or 1 in 1 out ports
• RDM enabled (TALK back)

All you need is an 'In' box at the console, 1 (or more) 'Out' at the fixture end and an ethernet network inbetween. 

Modes:

• Plug & Play: Just unpack, power the DMXEtherGate, set the universe number (1 to 6) using the dip switches, plug in the ethernet and DMX and that's it!
• Configured: Using any web browser, log into the DMXEtherGate by typing its IP address in the address bar. This mode will let you use all the power of the DMXEtherGate engine. You will have access to all the features such as: 256 universes, remote configuration, node-universe building...

Operation:

The DMXEtherGate IN receives DMX512 from the lighting controller, the high speed engine processes the DMX for transmission over ethernet. The packet is then sent using a UDP/IP scheme with a broadcast IP and MAC address. Every node on the same network will receive that packet. The output node will then unpack the DMX data and update its internal buffers. 

Hardware:

Like most of the Enttec products, the DMXEtherGate hardware fits into a robust metal 9.5 inch 1U rack. 2 can be mounted side by side to form a standard 19 inch rack. The DMXEtherGate has 4 connectors: DMX512 IN or OUT depending on the model, ethercon RJ45 and IEC power connector. The DMXEtherGate has an internal mains power supply that will accept any input voltage from 96 to 264V AC.
