User Manual

Description

DMX transceivers employing existing powerlines (110V/220V) to transmit DMX signal using PWRDMX technology introduced by Sundrax in 2007. Perfect solution if new cabling or wireless transmission is hindered or impossible e.g. conversion to DMX lighting for histroric facades, architectural monuments, landmarks, in-ground lighting.

Powergates support ArtNet and sACN input through single Ethernet LAN 10/100Base-T link and have up to 4 DMX outputs. DMX ports are configurable through web-based management page. All PowerGates may be configured as transmitters or receivers. This product is for indoor use, visit PowerGate Arma page if you require waterproof metal enclosure (IP65) specifically crafted for outdoor use.

 

Advantages

• Use existing powerlines to transmit DMX streams
• Ethernet port for web configuration and ArtNet/sACN data transmission
• Minimum loading time, fastest recovery after short power failure
• Full protection from dust and smoke increases product lifetime
• Full galvanic isolation of all ports
• Simple user-friendly web interface
• IP44 case
• Maximum surge protection (100-315 V)

 

Merging Modes

• HTP: highest takes precedence
• LTP: latest takes precedence
• AUTO: last modified takes precedence – intelligent merging mode that provides availability to manage installation from two consoles simultaneously
• OVERLAY: merges custom slots from two ArtNet/sACN streams, fully customized through web interface
• PRIORITY: for sACN streams with priority tag, console with the highest priority for a given Universe will be in charge

 

Application

• Control DMX lights through existing powerline when new cabling or wireless transmission is hindered or impossible
• DMX/ArtNet/sACN transmission between indoor spaces when new cabling is impossible
• Outdoor installations when new cabling or wireless transmission is hindered or impossible
• Convert lighting of facades, architectural monuments, landmarks, or historic buildings to DMX when new cabling is impossible
• Convert in-ground lighting to DMX fixtures without new cabling
