ChamSys GeNetix GN4IP - 4-Port IP65-Rated PoE Ethernet to DMX Node with 5-Pin XLR Inputs/Outputs in Black Finish

The ChamSys GeNetix GN4IP is a compact and rugged 4-Port IP65-rated Ethernet-to-DMX Node designed for reliable performance in challenging environments. This versatile node features four DMX outputs, which can be configured as either DMX input or output, making it ideal for a variety of lighting setups. The GN4IP offers advanced DMX control capabilities, including configurable DMX timings with refresh rate, break time, frame time, and MAB. It supports industry-standard protocols such as Art-Net, sACN, and RDM, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of lighting systems. With built-in Port Status LEDs, users can quickly check the health and functionality of each port, making it easy to monitor and troubleshoot the system.

The IP65-rated design ensures that the GeNetix GN4IP is durable and suitable for outdoor or harsh environments where weather resistance is essential. The node can be powered either via Power over Ethernet (P) or through mains power via its Neutrik PowerCon True1 connector, offering flexibility in power options. This makes the GN4IP an excellent choice for both permanent installations and portable setups, as it can easily integrate into various power configurations. The node's compact size and robust construction are complemented by multiple rigging options, including M12 threaded inserts for clamp mounting and a built-in rail for secondary safety bonding, ensuring secure and stable mounting in the rig.

For ease of use and flexibility, the GN4IP can be remotely configured via its built-in web server or directly through ChamSys consoles. It also supports DMX Fallback, which enables fixtures on a single universe to be connected in a loop to two ports for redundancy. This feature ensures that if one cable is damaged, all fixtures continue to receive DMX data, making it ideal for mission-critical installations. The GN4IP supports merging, allowing users to select between merge options such as HTP (Highest Takes Precedence), LTP (Latest Takes Precedence), and IP address-based merging, giving full control over the data flow from multiple sources.

The GeNetix GN4IP node is equipped with a user scene store, which allows for the storage and recall of up to 10 scenes, making it easy to recall and replay lighting setups as needed. Scenes can be recorded from incoming Art-Net or sACN data and accessed via the web server, MagicQ/QuickQ consoles, or the 10Scene wall plates on compatible GeNetix nodes. This versatility makes it an ideal solution for a wide range of applications, from live events to permanent installations. The GN4IP also supports ChamNet synchronization, reducing tearing and ensuring smooth DMX output when used with MagicQ consoles, making it an essential tool for any professional lighting setup.
