E-Gate max DMX / Ethernet converter

Increasingly, data communication in modern lighting systems is based on the Ethernet
standard. However, most older equipment and virtually all end devices continue to have
DMX512 interfaces. In order to allow such equipment to be incorporated seamlessly into an
Ethernet infrastructure and still be used in the same way as before, transtechnik has
designed the E-Gate to have following functions:

Supply of DMX data to the Ethernet

Supply of Ethernet data to DMX lines

Ethernet bridge between DMX devices

Protocol converter for heterogeneous networks

DMX merger and DMX filter

Network Protocols

E-Gates can process DMX data using the following network protocols:
Für das E-Gate können folgende Netzwerkprotokolle verwendet werden:
UDP Console family transtechnik NT/NTX, priority control
sACN Console family ETC Eos
IPX Console family AVAB Congo and some AVAB-consoles using network output
Most of the consoles can be configured to send all of these protocols. Within a installation one
common protocol can be used.

Miscellaneous

The configuration, i.e. the data that can be modified using control elements, is stored
permanently. Software updates can be installed via the RS-232 interface integrated into the
front panel or via the Ethernet.
