Product description The Net3 DMX/RDM Four-Port Gateway with 4 Outputs from ETC provides data distribution using ETC's network technology. Built for Net3 and using industry-standard streaming ACN and sACN, the Four-Port Gateway unlocks the power of your networked system. The Four-Port Gateway also uses bi-directional Ethernet communication with other network devices to send or receive DMX512 and Remote Device Management (RDM) signals. This unit comes with four XLR 5-pin Female DMX output connector modules installed. - Applications

Explanation of Terms - DMX512
- Often shortened to DMX (Digital Multiplex), this communication protocol is used mainly to control dimmers and multi-parameter fixtures. A universe of DMX is defined as 512 channels. DMX sends a nearly continuous stream of level information for each control channel. It is a form of RS-485 digital serial communication
- RDM
- Remote Device Management (ANSI E1.20) is a protocol enhancement to DMX512 that allows low-speed bidirectional communication between a system controller and attached RDM devices over a standard DMX line. This protocol will allow remote configuration, status monitoring, and management of devices
- sACN
- Streaming ACN (ANSI E1.31), sends DMX-style control over TCP/IP networks. It provides a fast and efficient mechanism to transport the well-understood DMX protocol over Ethernet using an industry-standard protocol
- ACN
- Architecture for Control Networks (ANSI E1.17) is a standard for high-speed bidirectional communication over TCP/IP on Ethernet network infrastructure. ACN is an open suite of protocols used between network devices for the purposes of greater and more adaptive control
- Net3
- ETC's enhanced implementation of the standard ACN Protocol Suite (ANSI E1.17 and E1.31) including additional communication protocols for specialized applications and support of legacy systems
