Single-channel Artnet-DMX bidirectional network converter

  • Bidirectional Art-Net ↔ DMX512 Conversion: 1 Device = 2 Functions
    – Decodes Art-Net network data to DMX512: Expands DMX output ports of Tiger Touch/MA2 consoles to connect more fixtures (e.g., adding 1 DMX line for 32 par lights);
    – Encodes DMX512 to Art-Net: Integrates local DMX devices (e.g., backstage strobes) into a centralized lighting network—avoids running long DMX cables across venues;
    – Saves cost vs. buying two separate converters (decoder + encoder) and reduces on-site cable clutter.
  • Standard Art-Net Node: Universal Compatibility
    – Compliant with Art-Net 3 protocol and DMX512/1990 standard—works with 99% of professional lighting software (GrandMA onPC, Capture) and consoles (Tiger Touch, MA2, Avolites);
    – Supports Art-Net universes 1-32767: Adapts to large-scale lighting networks (e.g., theater productions with multiple DMX lines for different stage zones).
  • Type-C USB Power (5V/500mA): On-Site Flexibility
    – Powers via computer USB, USB power bank, or 5V adapter—no bulky AC power supplies;
    – Ideal for temporary setups: Use with a laptop to control DMX fixtures in small venues (e.g., pop-up events) or power via a console’s USB port for tour expansion.
  • OLED Panel Control: No Software Needed
    – Intuitive OLED screen + buttons let technicians set Art-Net universe, DMX address, and working mode (decode/encode) on the spot;
    – No need to install complex configuration software—saves 15-20 minutes of setup time per event, critical for tight on-site schedules.

    Description

    Technical Specifications

    Model No. CT-CN-1
    Parameter Category Value & Scene-Oriented Interpretation
    Protocol & Conversion Core Function: Bidirectional Art-Net ↔ DMX512 conversion (Standard Art-Net node compliant with Art-Net 3 protocol);
    Decoding: Converts Art-Net network data → DMX512 signals (for expanding console DMX output ports to connect more fixtures);
    Encoding: Converts DMX512 signals → Art-Net network data (for integrating local DMX devices into a centralized lighting network);
    Compatibility: Works with Art-Net-supported software/consoles (Tiger Touch, MA2, GrandMA, Capture) and all DMX512 fixtures (par lights, moving heads, strobes).
    Power Supply Power Port: 1×Type-C port (5V DC, 500mA);
    Power Compatible with computer USB ports, USB power banks, or 5V USB adapters (no dedicated power supply needed—convenient for on-site setup where power outlets are limited);
    Power Advantage: Low power consumption (500mA) avoids overloading USB ports, safe for long-term use with laptops or consoles.
    Interfaces Network Interface: 1×RJ45 port (10/100Mbps auto-adaptive—connects to lighting network switches or directly to consoles for Art-Net data transmission);
    DMX Interface: 1×XLR-3-F female connector (standard DMX512 input/output—compatible with common DMX cables, supports daisy-chaining of up to 32 fixtures per line);
    Interface Benefit: Dual interfaces (network + DMX) enable flexible integration—use as a “DMX expander” or “DMX-to-network bridge” based on needs.
    Display & Portability Display: OLED screen + panel buttons (intuitive parameter setting—adjust Art-Net universe (1-32767), DMX address, and working mode (decode/encode) without software);
    Dimensions: 7×5.6×11.2cm (pocket-sized—fits in lighting technicians’ tool belts or gear bags);
    Gross Weight: 0.3KG (1-hand carry—no extra load for mobile tour crews or on-site technicians).
