Overview

The NODE4 is an Ethernet to DMX bridging device. It accepts Artistic License's ArtNet
(version 3 or prior), PLASA’s Streaming ACN (ANSI E1.31), or Draft Streaming ACN
protocols. There are four fully isolated DMX512 ports. Each port can be configured as
either an input or as an output. Each of the connectors can be mounted on either the front
or rear panel. Their location can be changed in the field to accommodate fixed or touring
installations.

The factory default configuration covers most applications. An easy to use control panel
gives access to all network settings if a change is needed. The backlit 2 line by 20
character LCD and LED indicators give quick status feedback.

To configure the NODE4 ports, choose what you want to set up by pressing the port or
network adapter SELECT key. Use the arrow keys to find the option you want to change
and press ENTER. Use the arrows to change the value and press ENTER again to save.
You can use the BACK key at any time to disregard changes and return to the previous
menu.

The NODE4 features a universal input power supply and a rugged enclosure. An optional
rack mounting kit is available (model RK16-1). Holes are provided for truss mounting using
a C-clamp or half-coupler.
