The Ether2DMX8 uses the Artnet protocol and can therefore be used to interface with any third party product that can interface with Artnet. It can also be used to merge incoming DMX lines with other DMX outputs.
It can store up to 99 cues that can be linked together for playback with fade time and hold time. Cues can be triggered remotely and a cue can be assigned as a fail-safe mode (if the incoming Artnet signal was to be lost, the device would automatically enable the cue). Another helpful use of the cue is to link it to a building's alarm system.
The Ether2DMX8 can be remotely controlled via a webpage. All functionality of the device can be changed, saved and even uploaded to other Ether2DMX8 devices on the same network. Configuration settings can also be saved to file and applied to other devices later on.
