Setup Manual - Butler PRO
System description
The e:cue Butler PRO is a 16 channel DMX/RDM or e:pix interface that acts as an
interface between a server running the e:cue Lighting Application Suite and devices
with DMX512 or e:pix connections. The Butler PRO usually gets mounted in a
universal 19-inch rack system or on walls or ceilings.
The server connection is a standard CAT5 RJ45 based Ethernet interconnect. The
device connection is also RJ45 based. All usual CAT5 RJ45 cables can be used.
Please note that e:net requires an isolated network segment and cannot
operate properly when using e. g. Internet traffic or video/audio stream-
ing in the same network simultaneously.
