FEATURES
This unit is radio-interference suppressed. This product meets the requirements of the current European and
national guidelines. Conformity has been established and the relevant statements and documents have been
deposited by the manufacturer.
The perfect all-in-one solution to secure your DMX-installations: 100% electrical isolation between all
in/outputs!
2 DMX- 6 DMX-outputs, each equipped with 3pin and 5pin XLR-connectors.
The merger function combines 2 DMX-signals in different ways:
HTP:
the highest value of 2 identical channels from 2 DMX-signals will have priority.
Backup:
when the DMX-signal on input A fails, the DMX-signal in input B takes over immediately.
Merger:
DMX-signals from 2 different controllers can be combined and send over 1 cable, you can
choose the start address of the second controller.
The splitter function distributes the DMX-signal(s) from the input(s) over 6 identical outputs that are 100%
isolated from each other: problems that occur on 1 output will not influence the other outputs!
The timing of the DMX-outputs can be adapted from 23ms to 45ms, increasing compatibility while
connecting “slow” DMX-devices to “fast” DMX-controllers.
Output behavior can be selected when suddenly both DMX-inputs fail:
Null:
no DMX signal on the outputs
Hold:
keep the last DMX values on the outputs.
Clear:
set the DMX values on all outputs to zero.
Easy setup via 4digit LED display
