ChamSys GeNetix GN8 8-Port Multipurpose Node

About: ChamSys GeNetix GN8 8-Port Multipurpose Node

GeNetix Node 8 is ideal for both installed and live applications that call for a straightforward Art-Net/sACN to DMX node solution.

• 8 RDM DMX Ports supporting DMX Output
• Webserver for remote configuration
• In-built display and encoder for local configuration
• Configurable DMX Timing
• Does not unlock ‘demo mode’ on MagicQ PC Systems

This interface supports RDM, features configurable DMX timing, and can be remotely configured from ChamSys consoles via its in-built web server, or locally via the display on the unit. This versatile device is at home in many different environments whether truss-mounted in the rig via its M12 receiver or rack mounted via its rack ears.

GeNetix Nodes

GeNetix Nodes provide a solution for remote data distribution in a wide variety of applications. Supporting industry standard protocols like Art-Net, sACN, RDM along with advanced features including DMX Fallback, Merging and Scene Storage.

GeNetix Protocols

GeNetix network nodes support industry standard lighting protocols; Art-Net V1,2,3 and 4, sACN – including priorities on a per universe basis and Remote Device Management (RDM).

DMX timings are fully configurable, with refresh rate, break time, frame time and MAB.

Node Configuration

The GeNetix network nodes can be configured from MagicQ consoles and PC systems and from QuickQ consoles. They can also all be configured from a web server. The nodes with a front panel can also be configured from the front panel.

GeNetix nodes also support a lock PIN to prevent the configuration being modified from the front panel of the GeNetix.

Lost Data Behaviour

GeNetix Nodes support 3 modes for when the node loses network data (Art-Net or sACN)

• Hold – holds the last output DMX values
• None – stops outputting DMX
• Zeroes – Outputs DMX 0’s on all channels

DMX synchronisation

GeNetix nodes support synchronised DMX output to reduce tearing. Synchronisation is controlled via ChamNet and is available when used with MagicQ consoles.
