DIN ETHERGATE – User Manual
Two-Universe bi-directional eDMX - DMX/RDM gateway in a compact 4-module DIN-rail form factor.
ENTTEC's DIN ETHERGATE is a robust and reliable
installation grade DMX node engineered to take any
architectural, commercial or entertainment project
to the next level.
With 2 universes of bi-directional eDMX -> DMX
conversion and ArtRDM support, the DIN ETHERGATE
is a flexible, cost-effective method to connect
physical DMX devices to your network infrastructure.
The configuration as well as the firmware updates
are managed through the localhost web interface to
simplify commissioning from any computer on your
network.
The DIN ETHERGATE's slim, 4 DIN-module electrically
insulated housing supports TS35 DIN and surface
mounting for fast installation. Pluggable terminal
blocks with inbuilt termination line make wiring
simple.
The Power over Ethernet (PoE) featuring DIN
ETHERGATE reduces the number of cables and can
be deployed remotely without the need for a local
power source close to the device.
