Product description
N
ODE
16 is an Ethernet to DMX512 bridging device. It accepts Streaming ACN (ANSI
E1.31) or Artistic License's Art-Net protocols. There are sixteen fully isolated DMX512
output ports. The Ethernet input connector accepts standard RJ45 (8P8C) connectors as
well as Neutrik Ethercon plugs.
Each of the sixteen outputs has two front panel indicators: A signal LED which illuminates
if there is DMX512 data for the selected universe, and a mimic LED which mimics the
output level of DMX512 slot one (channel one) of the selected universe (useful for
troubleshooting). A red power indicator, a green network link indicator, and a yellow
network activity indicator are also provided.
The factory default configuration covers most applications. Default configuration is
editable using the front panel encoder wheel and backlit LCD.

16 is powered by 100-240VAC 50/60 Hz, 30W. It fits in one unit (1.75") of 19 inch
rack space.
