User Manual
Compact 8 universe DMX over Ethernet to DMX Converter.
ENTTEC’s STORM 8 is a compact, output only, DMX-
Ethernet gateway allowing DMX fixtures to be
connected to an ethernet infrastructure. Converting
sACN, Art-Net or ESP protocol to 8 Universes of DMX.
To provide as many outputs as possible within a 1U
half-width rack device, the STORM 8 outputs fully
compliant DMX using RJ45 outputs, Cat5e/Cat6 cable
can be wired to a standard DMX plug either locally
to the STORM 8 or at the first fixture. Using RJ45
cables instead of DMX cable can prove cheaper and
more efficient especially on long term installations.
The STORM 8’s robust 1U half-width hardware is
enhanced by a mains input and an intuitive web
interface. In addition, it features front LED indicators
showing the status and connectivity of each unit,
making installations both simple and fast.
The STORM 8 also allows merging of up to two
Ethernet-DMX sources via HTP or LTP, providing
additional flexibility without the need for other
hardware.
