Introduction
JSI’s DMX 6-PORT MERGER combines up to six DMX512 data lines
into one DMX512 universe. A cost-effective DMX input management
solution for temporary and hardwired installations requiring multiple
DMX sources or multiple opto-isolated DMX input locations.
Model variants include compact portable, 19" rack mount and
installation boxes for permanent installations. DMX I/O options include
RJ45, terminal block and 5-Pin XLR connector.

monitoring DMX output level data on all 512 channels at one time.
