This 4-Port Ethernet Node has been designed as a means of expanding the DMX capabilities of shows using channel-hungry modern technology - where DMX universes get used up within a very short space of time.
Pathway Pathport DMX Manager Plus! is a 1U box with the ability to act as a DMX splitter or merger in addition to its function as a four-port Ethernet node. Each of its four ports is individually configurable as an input or output and has both male and female five- pin XLRs.
An integral Ethernet switch and two Ethernet ports give direct link-through, while the unit can be configured to include DMX universe routing, channel soft-patching and automatic port priority switching via its front panel or external software.
Pathway Pathport DMX Manager Plus! supports Strand Shownet, Pathport, Art-net and Streaming ACN.
Stephen Capel, Point Source Productions managing director says, "The decision to invest in the Pathway product range was driven by the expansion of LED, video and moving light technology, especially within the corporate sector where much of our work is based. We chose the Pathway Pathport nodes as they fit in with both our own remit and that of many of our customers."
