ELC Node 8

The node. A typical product that is actually only suitable for the seasoned lighting technician or true professional. Without specific knowledge of networks, protocols and DMX you will definitely not be able to get through this. Often a piece of cake for a lighting technician. This ELC dmXLAN Node GBx 8 is a versatile network node that can be set up to distribute DMX data over the network.

Network

Where it used to be necessary to run a separate DMX line from the light table for each universe. Nowadays this can be done via network. This means that laying one network cable is now sufficient to send a very large amount of data. In the node or nodes you can then indicate which 5-pin DMX port should output which universe. This allows you to send out a maximum of 8 universes per node. If you want to send out more universes, you can loop multiple nodes together. You can also use the node as a DMX splitter. By having each DMX port output the same universe, you create up to 8 of the same DMX outputs.

Protocols

The dmXLAN Node GBx 8 can handle the most common protocols, such as Art-Net, sACN and ShowNet. This node also supports RDM and has active feedback. This immediately reports errors in the line, such as a pulled cable or short circuit.
