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

1

 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.
