ETC’s Net3™ Two Port Gateway is a DMX and RDM data distribution device built on the quality and reliability of ETC’s network development. Built for Net3 systems using the industry standard stramingACN (sACN), the Two Port Gateway is compatible with ETC network system products. The DMX Gateway uses bidirectional Ethernet communication with other network devices to send or receive DMX512 data and RDM messages. The Two Port Gateway supports two DMX Input or DMX Output connectors, to transport up to 1024 channels of DMX over Ethernet.
The Net3 Two Port DMX Gateway is available for use as a wall-mount, table-top, or pipe-mount device.
What are ACN, Net3, and RDM?
ACN - Architecture for Control Networks is a standard for high-speed bidirectional communication over TCP/IP on Ethernet network infrastructure. ACN is a suite of protocols used between network devices for the purposes of greater and more adaptive control in lighting applications.
Net3 - Net3 is one of ETC's standard ACN interoperability profiles (the ‘rules’ for how different devices will work together) providing additional communication between devices that is not yet specified or standardized.
RDM - Remote Device Management is a protocol enhancement to DMX512 that allows bidirectional communication between a system controller and attached RDM-compliant devices over a standard DMX line. This allows configuration, status monitoring, and management of the connected RDM devices.
