artLynx range

artLynx is an Art-Net 4 / sACN enabled DIN rail ethernet-to-DMX512/RDM gateway.

artLynx offers massively increased processing power, allowing it to operate effortlessly on networks which are congested with broadcast data. The products have high levels of electrical protection. All outputs are protected against mains electrocution (international voltages including UK 3-phase) and are self-healing.

Variants

It is available in four variants:
• artLynx uno (1 universe conversion)

• artLynx duo (2 universe conversion)

• artLynx quad (4 universe conversion)

• artLynx RJ45 (4 universe conversion, all connectors are RJ45)

artLynx quad and artLynx RJ45 have premium features that are not supported in artLynx uno and artLynx duo.

These premium features include:
• Bidirectional ports enabling conversion of DMX to Art-Net/sACN

• Support for RDM Integrity, a software package used to test both native RDM and RDM over Art-Net

• Failsafe playback mode

A handy button enables the customer to simply restore the factory default settings (hold down and cycle power). A single press of this button causes the product to emit a ‘squawk’ – a message over the network that enables the console operator to easily identify the physical location of the artLynx product.

artLynx is housed in a small, robust DIN Rail case. The ethernet connection is made via an RJ45 and the DMX512 connections by removable screw terminal connectors (quad/duo) or RJ45 connectors (artLynx RJ45).

The power input can be either from the ethernet cable using the IEEE 802.3af (2003) standard, or from an external power supply (we recommend the PSU-24-0.75-FER).

The product can be remotely configured using the product’s internal web server, or using DMX-Workshop. DHCP enables automatic IP addressing; static IP and LLRP negotiation are also supported.
