DMXking eDMX2 PRO

Perfect middle ground when you need more than 1 universe but without the expense and bulk of 4 universe nodes. We've incorporated both Art-Net/sACN and USB DMX in the same unit along with a Power over Ethernet option making this the most flexible 2 universe node around. Built tough and compact the eDMX2 PRO takes little space in your bag and has both USB and PoE power options available. Mount an eDMX2 PRO closer to the rig and run Ethernet cable back to the controller using PoE power.

With USB DMX and ArtNet/sACN capabilities the eDMX2 PRO gives you the best of both worlds. Run USB DMX from your laptop or PoE Ethernet ArtNet as part of a larger rig or even merge USB DMX from another lighting application with your main system. eDMX2 PRO is the most flexible interface on the market.

Supporting both DMX512 output and DMX512 input individually configurable on each channel along with Art-Net and sACN protocols the eDMX2 PRO is the perfect choice for temporary small to medium rigs. DMX merge functionality works from both Art-Net/sACN, DMX Input and USB DMX sources providing plenty of configuration possibilities. Designed and manufactured in New Zealand to the highest standards.

Power Options
  • USB Power adapter (not included)

Configuration

All configuration options are stored in non-volatile memory on the device, so even if you need Windows/MacOSX for the configuration utility, you can still use this with other computers/devices once it's configured.
