DIN Ethergate Mk2

With 2U bi-directional Ethernet to DMX conversion with Art-RDM, or 4U Overdrive Mode for DMX500K (compatible fixtures only), PoE or flexible 12-24v DC input, the DIN Ethergate Mk2 allows for fast deployment of DMX systems and is compatible with a wide range of devices.

SKU: 71031

Next-generation Ethernet to DMX/RDM gateway

The DIN Ethergate Mk2 is a reliable DMX node designed for architectural, commercial, or entertainment projects. It supports 2 Universes of bi-directional DMX to DMX512-A conversion with ArtRDM support, and Overdrive Mode enables control of up to 1,024 channels per port at 500Kbps (works only with DMX500K-compatible fixtures). Dual Ethernet ports, one with PoE, allow easy daisy-chaining, while configuration and firmware updates are managed via a localhost web interface. Its slim, 4 DIN-module housing offers flexible mounting options and user-friendly wiring with pluggable terminal blocks.

The configuration is managed through the localhost web interface to simplify commissioning and updates as well as to allow the DIN Ethergate Mk2 to be configured from any computer on your network.

All ENTTEC Ethernet hardware accepts sACN Sync as well as ArtSync to fully synchronize Art-Net data for all output ports and across your installation when receiving Art-Net from the same source.

Power the DIN Ethergate using IEEE 802.3af PoE (Power over Ethernet) or DC 12-24v input. NOTE: when daisy-chained in series, only the first device will receive PoE. Subsequent devices require PoE injector individually to be powered via an Ethernet port.

Featuring a 4-DIN-module electrically-insulated housing, the DIN Ethergate MK2’s slim form includes a DIN-rail clip enabling attachment to a TS35 DIN-rail alongside the option to wall mount the device in any orientation.

Our Ethernet to DMX converter is packed with installer-friendly features including pluggable terminal connectors and inbuilt DMX termination to simplify wiring. Also, a ‘Current Port Buffer’ within the web interface allows live DMX values to be viewed from the web interface to troubleshoot your installation. Upon receiving power, the device is ready to go within seconds.

Output data at a higher transmission rate (500Kbps) to control of up to 2 Universes per port for DMX500K-compatible fixtures. IMPORTANT: DMX500K is incompatible with standard DXM512-A fixtures and does not conform to ANSI E1.11 – 2024. Do not use Overdrive Mode with unsupported fixtures. ENTTEC’s DMX Neon Flex is a compatible fixture supporting Overdrive Mode.
