    • Australian designed and made
    • Art-Net, sACN, ESP and KiNet to DMX conversion
    • 2 x bi-directional DMX ports with RDM support
    • Daisy-chain to expand your network
    • HTP/LTP merging support for DMX sources
    • Configurable DMX output refresh rate
    • Supports up to 2 Universe DMX512A output
    • Unlock support for up to 4 Universe (2U per port) with Overdrive Mode - only works with DMX500K-compatible fixtures


    The DIN Ethergate Mk2 is a robust and reliable installation grade DMX node engineered to take any architectural, commercial or entertainment project to the next level.

    With 2 Universes of bi-directional DMX to standard DMX512-A conversion and ArtRDM support, the DIN Ethergate Mk2 is a flexible, cost-effective method to connect physical DMX devices to your network infrastructure.

    Unlock enhanced performance with Overdrive Mode*; outputting at higher data transmission rate 500Kbps to control up to 1,024 channels per port (4 Universes in total). *Feature only works with DMX500K-compatible fixtures. 

    Enjoy effortless daisy-chaining with dual Ethernet ports, one featuring Power over Ethernet (PoE). This provides a flexible and streamlined wiring solution, ideal for scalable installations.

    The configuration as well as the firmware updates are managed through the user-friendly localhost web interface to simplify commissioning from any computer on your network.

    Designed for ease, the slim, 4 DIN-module electrically insulated housing supports TS35 DIN and surface mounting, with user-friendly pluggable terminal blocks for simple wiring.

    • Easy web page configuration

      The configuration is managed through the localhost web interface to simplify commissioning and updates as well as to allow the DIN Ethergate Mk2 to be configured from any computer on your network.

    • Sync mode

      All ENTTEC Ethernet hardware accepts sACN Sync as well as ArtSync to fully synchronize Art-Net data for all output ports and across your installation when receiving Art-Net from the same source.

    • Flexible power options

      Power the DIN Ethergate using IEEE 802.3af PoE (Power over Ethernet) or DC 12-24v input. NOTE: when daisy-chained in series, only the first device will receive PoE. Subsequent devices require PoE injector individually to be powered via an Ethernet port.

    • Choice of mounting options

      Featuring a 4-DIN-module electrically-insulated housing, the DIN Ethergate MK2’s slim form includes a DIN-rail clip enabling attachment to a TS35 DIN-rail alongside the option to wall mount the device in any orientation.

    • Time-saving + installer-friendly

      Our Ethernet to DMX converter is packed with installer-friendly features including pluggable terminal connectors and inbuilt DMX termination to simplify wiring. Also, a ‘Current Port Buffer’ within the web interface allows live DMX values to be viewed from the web interface to troubleshoot your installation. Upon receiving power, the device is ready to go within seconds.

    • Overdrive Mode

      Output data at a higher transmission rate (500Kbps) to control of up to 2 Universes per port for DMX500K-compatible fixtures. IMPORTANT: DMX500K is incompatible with standard DXM512-A fixtures and does not conform to ANSI E1.11 – 2024. Do not use Overdrive Mode with unsupported fixtures. ENTTEC’s DMX Neon Flex is a compatible fixture supporting Overdrive Mode.

     

    Protocols

    The DIN Ethergate Mk2’s primary functionality is to convert between Ethernet-DMX protocols and USITT DMX512-A (DMX). The following conversions are available:

    • Art-Net <-> DMX (RDM supported)
    • RDM (ANSI E1.20)
    • sACN <-> DMX
    • ESP <-> DMX
    • KiNet <-> DMX

    To learn more about these functions as well as other protocols that the DIN Ethergate is capable of handling, please check out the user manual.

     

    A key part of your infrastructure

    We’ve built a reputation for system compatibility and integration.

    Unlock a world of potential by integrating the DIN Ethergate Mk2 by pairing it with a number of popular automation systems using generic Art-Net or sACN drivers to allow you to send and receive DMX and RDM.

    If your control system of choice is unable to send Art-Net, sACN or ESP, we have a solution for you! Our S-Play Show Controller is able to receive a wide range of low bandwidth input triggers and send out streams of lighting control data to conversion nodes such as the DIN Ethergate Mk2 across your installation network.
