SnakeSys B4
The SnakeSys B4 is a four universe DMX to Ethernet convertor. It supports four DMX512 ports that are configurable as either
inputs or outputs and one DMX port that is always assigned as an input. The SnakeSys B4 is designed as a multi purpose box to
be used in places where a small portable Ethernet to DMX conversion solution is required.
• Universal Ethernet to DMX Interface
• Four DMX512 Ports (configurable as input or output)
• One dedicated DMX512 input port
• Art-Net and ACN Streaming DMX support
• Can be used with any Art-Net or ACN compliant console
• Universe selectable by rotary switches
• ChamNet remote configuration
• Stand-alone DMX buffer mode
• Can be powered by Power over Ethernet
Multiple SnakeSys B4s can be used on a single network, either configured directly from the unit or by using ChamNet control
from a MagicQ console. Multiple SnakeSys B4s can be syncronised together to ensure that the DMX output from the console is
consistent and does not involve "tearing" either within universes or across multiple universes.
