Introduction
XND-4 is a user-friendly Art-Net and sACN to DMX converter supporting the distribution of four universes of DMX via
four individually optically isolated DMX ports, each of which is independently configurable as an input

or output.
Since most major lighting consoles are capable of transmitting Art-Net data, the XND-4 is all you need to take
advantage of you
r console’s
networking capability, allowing you to transmit a vast number of universes over one
single network cable. In some cases, users may profit from already existing networking infrastructure.
Furthermore, the XND-4 is also perfectly suited to send DMX data to your fixtures from a computer or even from a
mobile device. Many light controller programs for PC or Mac support Art-Net output natively and with the help of
XND-
4’s DHCP capabi
lity, you can even let your workplace network infrastructure do the network configuration of
your XND-4 automatically for you.
With its 128x64 pixels OLED display however, configuring the network and setting up your Art-Net or sACN
preferences manually is no trouble at all and helpful status information is always at hand.
