ChamSys GeNetix GN2 - 2-Port PoE/USB DIN-Rail Ethernet to DMX Node with 2 x 5-Pin XLR Female Outputs and 1 x RJ45 Input in Dark Blue Finish

The ChamSys GeNetix GN2 is an advanced 2-port P/USB DIN-Rail Ethernet to DMX node designed for seamless integration into a variety of lighting control setups. Finished in a sleek dark blue, this versatile node is perfect for fixed installations, supporting both Art-Net and sACN protocols, making it an essential component for professionals in the lighting industry. The GN2 is equipped with two 5-pin female XLR outputs and a single RJ45 input, enabling reliable data distribution in complex lighting environments.

This node not only serves as a robust DMX interface but can also function as a USB interface for MagicQ PC systems, allowing users to unlock MagicQ into reduced mode when connected via its USB-C or network port. This dual functionality enhances its utility, making it suitable for both standalone operations and as part of a larger networked lighting system.

The GeNetix GN2 is designed for user-friendly configuration. It can be easily set up via its built-in display and encoder, remotely through its onboard web server, or directly from compatible consoles. The ability to configure settings from multiple sources ensures that lighting professionals can manage their systems efficiently, adapting to various operational requirements.

Powered by either P or its USB-C port, the GN2 offers flexibility in power options, allowing it to be seamlessly integrated into existing installations without the need for additional power sources. This feature is particularly beneficial in environments where space and power management are critical.

One of the standout features of the GeNetix GN2 is its support for DMX Fallback, enabling fixtures on a single universe to be connected in a loop across the two ports for redundancy. This means that if a cable fails anywhere in the loop, the remaining fixtures continue to receive DMX signals, significantly enhancing reliability. Each port can be individually set to output, input, or fallback mode, providing flexible data management.

The GN2 also supports merging capabilities, allowing users to configure each port with various merge options-None, HTP (Highest Takes Precedence), LTP (Latest Takes Precedence), and IP address-based merging. This functionality provides advanced control over how data is prioritized within the system, ensuring optimal performance based on user requirements.

Furthermore, the GeNetix GN2 can store up to 10 scenes, which can be recorded from incoming Art-Net or sACN data. These scenes are easily replayable from the node's front panel, MagicQ or QuickQ consoles, or via compatible wall plates, offering great flexibility during events and performances.

In terms of lost data behavior, the GN2 supports three modes: Hold (maintains the last output values), None (stops DMX output), and Zers (outputs DMX zers across all channels). This feature ensures that lighting professionals can maintain control even during network disruptions.

Overall, the ChamSys GeNetix GN2 is a powerful and versatile tool for lighting professionals seeking reliable and flexible DMX solutions in their installations. Its combination of advanced features, ease of use, and solid construction make it an ideal choice for managing complex lighting systems.
