UK Artistic Licence Engineering is releasing three l new products this spring : DMX-Buffer, Rail-Contact and Rail-Sequence. All three products are shipping with immediate effect.

DMX-Buffer is an inline DMX & RDM line booster / buffer with a choice of Ethercon or XLR connections. It is designed "for those times when you need more distance than the maximum 300m, or more than 32 devices on a single DMX cable".

DMX-Buffer RJ45 has Ethercon connectors allowing easy use of Cat 5 cable. DMX-Buffer XLR uses standard 5-pin XLR connectors. This provides a more rugged, robust option that is suitable for touring purposes.

Rail-Contact is a DMX Trigger with eight Opto-Isolated Inputs and a cascade option, developed for applications requiring a level of integration between external switches and DMX control. Rail-Contact converts eight contact closures to eight consecutive DMX channels.

Rail-Sequence is a six-channel mains relay with automatic time delayed power sequencer. It has been designed to work with equipment that contains Switch Mode PSUs that have a high in-rush current. Having multiple PSUs on a single circuit breaker can cause the circuit breaker to trip when power is applied. Rail-Sequence will avert 'switch-on' overloading by staggering each of its six outputs to switch on at 1 second intervals, says the company.

Sequence-Filter is a DIN Rail mounted current inrush limiter that will provide protection for the internal relays on Rail-Sequence when used with inductive loads.
