Denmark - The Martin Ether2DMX allows users to increase the number of Maxxyz DMX universes and/or easily place DMX universes remotely on any TCP/IP Ethernet network. Every Ether2DMX box extends the number of universes by four, which means a maximum of 32 universes can be reached. Ether2DMX can also be used to place your DMX universes at a remote location, connected to the Maxxyz by a single Ethernet line (RJ45). Similarly, the number of DMX inputs can be increased or placed at a remote location. Ether2DMX can also be used as an output device for the upcoming Maxxyz PC, or as an input device for Martin ShowDesigner (MSD). Finally, the Ether2DMX box uses the Artnet protocol and can therefore be used to interface with any third-party product that can interface with Artnet. When using additional Ether2DMX routers a switch must be employed to split up the Ethernet connection. A rack-mount RJ45 Neutrik switch will be available soon, but any normal Ethernet switch can be used, say Martin. Neutrik RJ45 cables will also be available soon, but any RJ45 Cat 5 can be used to interconnect the Ether2DMX router with the Maxxyz or a computer.
