ChamSys GeNetix GN10 - 10-Port PoE/USB Ethernet to DMX Node with 10 x 5-Pin XLR Female Outputs in Dark Blue Finish

The ChamSys GeNetix GN10 is a powerful 10-port P/USB Ethernet to DMX node designed to facilitate remote data distribution across a variety of applications. With its dark blue finish, the GN10 offers both functionality and aesthetic appeal, making it a versatile solution for professional lighting setups. Equipped with ten 5-pin XLR female outputs and a single RJ45 input, this node is ideal for managing complex DMX lighting systems while providing seamless integration with modern control protocols.

The GeNetix GN10 supports industry-standard protocols such as Art-Net and sACN, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of consoles and lighting devices. It also features Remote Device Management (RDM), which allows for real-time monitoring and configuration of connected devices. Users can easily configure the node via its in-built display, the onboard web server, or directly from compatible consoles, making it accessible for both novice and experienced users.

This node can be powered through Power over Ethernet (P) or via its Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 line input, offering flexibility in installation. Whether used as a standalone interface, truss-mounted with an M12 receiver, or rack-mounted using optional rack ears, the GN10 adapts to various environments and installation scenarios.

One of the key features of the GeNetix GN10 is its support for Timecode and MIDI integration. With dedicated LTC and MIDI ports, the node can handle timecode and MIDI notes input/output, providing enhanced functionality for complex lighting setups. This is particularly beneficial for situations where the timecode or MIDI source is located away from the console, allowing for efficient operation across larger venues.

When connected to MagicQ PC systems via USB, the GeNetix GN10 unlocks full functionality, enabling it to act as not only a DMX interface but also a Timecode, MIDI, and 10Scene gateway. This capability maximizes the power of the MagicQ software for systems running on Linux, Mac, or PC. Additionally, when used as an Art-Net/sACN node, it can unlock up to two MagicQ instances via network, offering even greater versatility for users.

The node's DMX ports are fully configurable, allowing for both input and output use, and enabling fine-tuning of DMX timings including refresh rate, break time, frame time, and Mark After Break (MAB). The GN10 also supports DMX Fallback, which allows fixtures to be connected in a loop across multiple ports. If a cable fails anywhere in the DMX loop, the remaining fixtures can continue receiving DMX signals, enhancing system reliability.

With merging capabilities, users can configure each port for various merge options-None, HTP, LTP, and IP address-based merging-allowing for sophisticated data management that meets the demands of complex setups. Furthermore, the GN10 supports the storage of up to 10 scenes, which can be recorded from incoming Art-Net or sACN data and easily recalled from the node's front panel, via MagicQ or QuickQ consoles, or through UDP commands.

In terms of lost data behavior, the GeNetix GN10 supports three modes: Hold (maintains the last output values), None (stops DMX output), and Zers (outputs DMX zers across all channels), ensuring that users can maintain control even during network interruptions.

Overall, the ChamSys GeNetix GN10 is an essential tool for lighting professionals seeking a comprehensive, flexible, and feature-rich DMX solution for their installations. Its advanced protocols, redundancy features, and ease of configuration make it a standout choice for managing complex lighting systems.
