TSL have recently invested in 2 x DMX 8 nodes. The Ethernet-DMX8 MkII is an Ethernet node that serves eight DMX512 outlets, compatible with the Artnet and sACN protocols. All outlets are conform to DMX512-A and can be used as input or output.
The two Ethernet links on the front and at the rear are 10/100BaseTX connections on Neutrik RJ45 Ethercon connectors. The Ethernet-DMX8 MkII embeds a built-in switch fabric which allows to use the converter as an Ethernet repeater.
All configuration can be done over Ethernet through a build in Web site. This all comes in a 19" 1 unit high metal housing that can be rack mounted.

Connections:

• 2 x 10/100BaseTX Ethernet connections on shielded Neutrik RJ45 Ethercon connectors
• 8 x DMX512-A in/outputs on shielded and isolated gold plated 5 pin female XLR, with termination (DMX512-A)

Features:

• DMX routing, universe setting
• Input and output enable / disable
• DMX output frame rate setting
• Supported protocols: DMX, DMX512-A, RDM, ArtNet, sACN
• Protocol selection per port
• IP settings
• Unit ID and labeling
• Ethernet activity indication on front panel
• Up to 40 programmable profiles and routings
• Up to 10 predefined profiles (splitters, mergers...)
• Multi language Web interface

Operation:

• Ethernet <-> DMX conversion
• Ethernet and DMX Merger
• Ethernet and DMX Backup
• DMX splitter / booster
• DMX trigger. Remote selection of the control source
• Built-in DMX softpatch
• Wysiwyg enabled. DMX inputs can be visualised in Wysiwyg
• DMX snapshot. Capture 3 fixed lighting states per outlet
• Modification of captured values from the Web interface
• Auto-load capture on boot-up (ideal for expo)
