XND8 is a user-friendly Art-Net and sACN to DMX converter supporting the distribution of eight universes of DMX via eight individually optically isolated DMX outputs. Since most major lighting consoles are capable of transmitting Art-Net data, XND8 is all you need to take advantage of your console's networking capability, allowing you to transmit a vast number of universes over one single network cable. In some cases, users may profit from already existing networking infrastructure.
Further, the XND8 is also perfectly suited to send DMX data to your fixtures from a computer or even
from a mobile device. Many light controller programs for PC or Mac support Art-Net output natively and with the help of XND8's DHCP capability, you can even let your workplace network infrastructure do the network configuration of your XND8 automatically for you.
With its 128x64 pixels OLED display however, configuring the network and setting up your Art-Net or sACN preferences manually is no trouble at all and helpful status information is always at hand.
If two controllers send data to the same universe, XND8 automatically merges the DMX data, which
makes the integration of a backup lighting controller straightforward and may proof helpful for fixture testing during the setup of an installation.
 
NOTE: XND-8R8 is the version with 8-port Ethernet DMX node, 19", RJ45
