New (February 2019) firmware release 4.06 for ArtGate DMX-Ethernet nodes features a number of functions that can be used for easy deployment and maintenance of large-scale lighting installations.
- Per-channel X-Fade merging allows switching between different control sources in more flexible way, and helps implementing other types of data transformation (e.g. universes multiplication).
- DHCP support makes installation process easier providing dynamic primary IP address while the device is still accessible by static secondary IP.
- IP address conflict detection helps preventing network collisions and failures.
- ArtGate devices can be discovered and monitored by any software supporting SNMP v1, v2.

New features for previous 4.05 firmware update (December 2018):
- New, flat web interface for device setup.
- Independent selection of primary and secondary universes allows lighting engineer to merge universes with different IDs and even different protocols (ArtNet II,III,4, sACN draft/release, KiNet v1,2)
- Each ArtGate node is able to store up to 4 static scenes (presets), which can be selected as control source for specific output ports, or activated by external triggering events (e.g. buttons, fireguard sensors, etc)
- With Backup merging, customer should not worry about reliability of lighting control system- any network universe or local static scene can be selected for outputting when main source fails.
- New Trigger and X-Fade merging modes give the ability to switch dynamically between lighting desks, media servers, and other control sources.
- RTTrPL support makes all ArtNet nodes compatible with BlackTrax real-time tracking system.
- Loopback feature turns ArtGate into network or standalone DMX merger, and gives even more flexibility in building lighting control systems.
