E-Gate max

Functional description

E-Gate max is designed to be permanently installed in a rack and has the following features:

2 DMX inputs

4 DMX outputs

12 analog inputs

6 digital inputs

1 bidirectional Ethernet port

An interface for connecting conventional DMX90/FDX90 dimmer systems

The RS-232 interface (COM port) is located on the front panel for easy access

An integrated router to distribute output across the 12 DMX output lines

DMX inputs and outputs use RJ45 connectors are located on the front panel together with
other connections for easy patching

Redundant Ethernet connections can be realized via the integrated Ethernet switch on the
front.
E-Gate max can convert the data from up to five signal sources (DMX, Ethernet, Analog) into
DMX output values or filter criteria:
 Ethernet  DMX
 Ethernet + DMX  DMX
 DMX  DMX
 DMX  Ethernet
 Ethernet  Ethernet
 Analog  DMX
 Analog  Ethernet
Conversion of Ethernet data from up to four lighting
consoles to DMX512, optionally using the HTP merge
function
Merging of the Ethernet data sent from two lighting
consoles with the two DMX512 inputs with the output
optionally sent to four DMX512 outputs
Reception of two DMX signals, optionally using the HTP
merge function, and output of the regenerated signals with
selectable DMX512 timing
Conversion of up to two DMX signals to Ethernet for
transmission to lighting consoles, dimmer systems or other
E-Gates
Converter and filter for Ethernet protocols
Conversion of 12 analog values to DMX512 with selectable
patching. Can also be used as a master fader.
Conversion of 12 analog values to Ethernet for use as a
master fader or as DMX input values
