DMXking eDMX4 PRO

Need more universes? eDMX4 is the answer you've been looking for. Built tough with plenty of mounting options the eDMX4 fits nicely in your lighting rig by simplifying cable runs and eliminating the need for DMX distribution amplifiers/splitters. Mount an eDMX4 closer to the rig and run Ethernet cable back to the controller and better still power the eDMX4 right back at the controller up to 70m / 210feet away using Power over Ethernet.

Supporting both DMX512 output and DMX512 input individually configurable on each channel along with Art-Net and sACN protocols the eDMX4 is an ideal choice for universe hungry lighting rigs. The flexible configuration permits 2 input DMX merge functionality too. Designed and manufactured in New Zealand to the highest standards. Rack Mount accessory available supporting 1 or 2 eDMX4 PRO units in 1U slot.
