ENTTEC DIN Ethergate Mk2 Two-Port Bi-Directional eDMX

About: ENTTEC DIN Ethergate Mk2 Two-Port Bi-Directional eDMX

The DIN Ethergate Mk2 is a robust and reliable installation grade DMX node engineered to take any architectural, commercial or entertainment project to the next level.

• Australian designed and made
• Art-Net, sACN, ESP and KiNet to DMX conversion
• 2 x bi-directional DMX ports with RDM support
• Daisy-chain to expand your network
• HTP/LTP merging support for DMX sources
• Configurable DMX output refresh rate
• Supports up to 2 Universe DMX512A output
• Unlock support for up to 4 Universe (2U per port) with Overdrive Mode - only works with DMX500K-compatible fixtures

With 2 Universes of bi-directional DMX to standard DMX512-A conversion and ArtRDM support, the DIN Ethergate Mk2 is a flexible, cost-effective method to connect physical DMX devices to your network infrastructure.

Unlock enhanced performance with Overdrive Mode*; outputting at higher data transmission rate 500Kbps to control up to 1,024 channels per port (4 Universes in total). *Feature only works with DMX500K-compatible fixtures. 

Enjoy effortless daisy-chaining with dual Ethernet ports, one featuring Power over Ethernet (PoE). This provides a flexible and streamlined wiring solution, ideal for scalable installations.

The configuration as well as the firmware updates are managed through the user-friendly localhost web interface to simplify commissioning from any computer on your network.

Designed for ease, the slim, 4 DIN-module electrically insulated housing supports TS35 DIN and surface mounting, with user-friendly pluggable terminal blocks for simple wiring.

Easy web page configuration

The configuration is managed through the localhost web interface to simplify commissioning and updates as well as to allow the DIN Ethergate Mk2 to be configured from any computer on your network.

Sync mode

All ENTTEC Ethernet hardware accepts sACN Sync as well as ArtSync to fully synchronize Art-Net data for all output ports and across your installation when receiving Art-Net from the same source.

Flexible power options

Power the DIN Ethergate using IEEE 802.3af PoE (Power over Ethernet) or DC 12-24v input. NOTE: when daisy-chained in series, only the first device will receive PoE. Subsequent devices require PoE injector individually to be powered via an Ethernet port.

Choice of mounting options

Featuring a 4-DIN-module electrically-insulated housing, the DIN Ethergate MK2’s slim form includes a DIN-rail clip enabling attachment to a TS35 DIN-rail alongside the option to wall mount the device in any orientation.

Time-saving + installer-friendly

Our Ethernet to DMX converter is packed with installer-friendly features including pluggable terminal connectors and inbuilt DMX termination to simplify wiring. Also, a ‘Current Port Buffer’ within the web interface allows live DMX values to be viewed from the web interface to troubleshoot your installation. Upon receiving power, the device is ready to go within seconds.

Overdrive Mode

Output data at a higher transmission rate (500Kbps) to control of up to 2 Universes per port for DMX500K-compatible fixtures. IMPORTANT: DMX500K is incompatible with standard DXM512-A fixtures and does not conform to ANSI E1.11 – 2024. Do not use Overdrive Mode with unsupported fixtures. ENTTEC’s DMX Neon Flex is a compatible fixture supporting Overdrive Mode.
