[. . . ] And with the increased use of LED fixtures and video mapping, it is now mandatory to have fast DMX response and proper network load management. With its fast processor and unicast Artnet mode, the Ether2DMX8 ensures instant response and lower network load. Add to this the simplicity of setup and remote access and you have the best Artnet to DMX converter available today. Specifications can change without notice Ether2DMX8 ­ What's so special. . . ?

A lot of attention has been placed on this and through some clever algorithms our engineers have found a way to achieve synchronicity between each DMX frame.

Each Ether2DMX8 can manage up to 8 DMX universes. Simply connect the Ether2DMX8 to an Artnet / Artnet II compliant console or PC-based controller. 32 universes 8 universes Specifications can change without notice Ether2DMX8 ­ Broadcast vs Unicast The Ether2DMX8 can manage Artnet in Broadcast or Unicast mode. While the Broadcast mode is the most popular due to its simplicity it also puts a heavy load on the network infrastructure. It is a slow gradual cycle between the DMX values of 20 and 200. The test data can be sent to individual ports or to all of them simultaneously. Specifications can change without notice Ether2DMX8 ­ Cue playback The Ether2DMX8 router has the ability to store 99 cues. Cues have many different uses, some examples are: · · · Standalone playback Backup Cues in case of controller failure Emergency Lighting Cue for a fire alarm via the switch inputs · · Automatic Lamp Strike during system power on Lighting cue without the need for a lighting console to be turned on · Lighting cues triggered by standard light switches Specifications can change without notice Ether2DMX8 ­ Cue playback A cue is a snapshot of the current levels (4096 channels) on all 8 DMX ports. Cue 1 Cue 2 Cue 3 Cue 4 Only one cue can be played at any given time with its own fade and hold times. Multiple cues can be linked to each other to create a simple cuelist. Playing back a cue will block any other DMX processing until the cue is stopped. Switch Inputs can be linked to cues, allowing the Ether2DMX8 router to function as a simple playback device for installations, tradeshow booths or a simple retail environment. It is also possible to assign a cue to be run upon startup of the router.
