The NODE family of Ethernet to DMX interfaces work with ArtNet, streaming ACN (aka sACN, ANSI E1.31, Net3), draft sACN (used by some ETC products), ShowNet (by Strand Lighting), and KiNet (by Color Kinetics) and can be configured using a built in web browser. They have zero boot time upon application of power.
The NEW NODE16 is a portable or rack mounted Ethernet to DMX bridging device. It accepts Artistic License's Art-Net or Streaming ACN (ANSI E1.31) protocols. There are sixteen DMX512 outputs, and each of the outputs are isolated from the Ethernet input and all other outputs. The Ethernet input connection is made via an Ethercon RJ45 connector, and the DMX512 output connections are made via 5-pin female XLRs. The NODE16 is powered by 100-240 VAC. NODE configuration takes place with a backlit graphical LCD and an encoder wheel.
DMX PORT SPECIFICATIONS Port circuit: Protected EIA-485 receiver (LT1785) NOTE: This product uses slew-rate-limited output drivers. Slew-rate-limited drivers minimize EMI and reduce reflections. Output signal: 1.5 Volts (minimum) into 120 Ohm Termination Connectors: Four 12-position pluggable Phoenix terminal blocks Port protection: +60V continuous, +15KV transient Isolation: Optically isolated to 1,500 Volts from the input. The outputs are not isolated from each other. ETHERNET SPECIFICATIONS Input circuit: 802.3 Ethernet compliant input (LAN8720) Input signal: Art-Net or sACN (ANSI E1.31) Ethernet protocols Input connector: Ethernet RJ-45 with 802.3af PoE (Power over Ethernet) capabilities. MDIX: Auto-negotiated MAIN SPECIFICATIONS Power input: 802.3af PoE (Power over Ethernet) or Auxiliary 24-48VDC 500mA via a 2-position pluggable Phoenix terminal block Indicators: Red POWER indicator 16 Green MIMIC 1 indicators mimic the level of the first channel on each output (useful in troubleshooting) 16 Green SIGNAL indicators illuminate when DMX output signal is present on each port
MAIN SPECIFICATIONS (Continued) Configuration: Backlit graphical LCD and an encoder wheel. Option jumpers: JP1: Disables the encoder wheel from being able to adjust the configuration settings JP2 – JP5: Not used Environmental: 0-40 °C (32-104 °F); 10-90% humidity, non-condensing Cooling: Convection cooling, no fan required Color: Green circuit board, black DIN tray Size and weight: 2.75”H × 4.25”D × 9.375”W, 1 pound LIMITED MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY Products manufactured by Doug Fleenor Design (DFD) carry a five-year parts and labor warranty against manufacturing defects.
