Description
Gate 4 DMX is a gate that converts Art-Net / sACN signals to four output DMX ports and conversion of DMX512 signal to Art-Net / sACN. The device is designed do run from 230V AC mains. This gate has a solid, metal housing protecting against mechanical damage.The device comes equipped with an Ethernet interface working in 10/100BaseTX protocol. The gate offers two modes of merging signals from two sources: HTP and LTP. The protocol version used is Art-Net 4 (compatible 1 – 4).
The DMX512 ports are optically isolated XLR connectors, resistant to mechanical damage. In addition, on the device there are six LED indicator lights: two network ones and four showing port's status.
The gate PX357+ has a display and four buttons that allows to change the configuration: Art-Net, Ethernet and DMX settings (such as: Brake, MAB, MBF and the number of DMX channels transmitted).
The user can order additional components to be shipped with the device, allowing for: installation of a single gate in a RACK cabinet, installation of two gates in a RACK cabinet, suspending a gate (e.g. from a truss).
DMX Workshop aplication is available on Artistic Licence web site. It allows to send Art-Net commands and to upgrade PX357+.
NOTE
Due to hardware differences, there are 2 software series for the device, marked 1.xx and 2.xx. When updating the software, you need to download the appropriate file.
