Specifications can change without notice Ether2DMX8 ­ Introduction What is Ether2DMX8?The Martin Ether2DMX8 allows users to increase the number of DMX universes and/or easily place DMX universes remotely on any TCP/IP Ethernet network. [. . . ] In Unicast mode data is sent from one device to another. One device transmits, one device receives. Unicast allows a network to handle far more DMX universes. Broadcast Data Unicast Specifications can change without notice Ether2DMX8 ­ DMX-IN The preset is used for DMX input conversion to Artnet on all 8 ports using the 2. x. x. x address range. This includes Martin ShowDesigner and many other visualization programs. It can also be used to capture older consoles with no Artnet output and route them into an Artnet system.
