Pathway Connectivity PWREP 8-Port Bi-Directional DMX/RDM Merger & Hub

About: Pathway Connectivity PWREP 8-Port Bi-Directional DMX/RDM Merger & Hub

The Pathway DMX Repeater series of opto-splitters are an essential component of DMX distribution systems, permitting star-wiring configurations while isolating and protecting equipment from electrical faults.

The 8-Port Merger & Hub brings flexibility to single-universe DMX512 distribution systems. Through the use of automatic signal sensing across four operating modes, any port may detect incoming DMX signals and act as an input; two inputs may be merged; the user may manually select between two inputs; or a priority scheme may be invoked.

In Hub and A/B modes, E1.20 Remote Device Management (RDM) is supported.

The Pathway 8-port DIN-mount DMX Mergers / Hub provide advanced signal routing capabilities for single-universe DMX systems in a convenient, compact, DIN- mountable form factor intended for permanent installs.

Features

• 8 bi-directional DMX512/RDM ports
