GLP DoP Converter UM RX024 - 3-Port DMX-Over-Powerline Converter with 512-Channel Transmitter and 24-Channel Receiver in White Finish

The GLP DoP Converter UM RX024 is a compact yet powerful 3-Port DMX-over-Powerline converter, offering a cutting-edge solution for transmitting DMX data through existing power lines, effectively eliminating the need for additional cabling. Designed with efficiency and flexibility in mind, this converter enables the seamless transmission of up to 512 DMX channels, providing a robust system for environments where traditional DMX wiring is either impractical or cost-prohibitive. The DoP Converter is particularly well-suited for use in architectural lighting installations, such as in museums, galleries, hotels, restaurants, retail spaces, and public areas, where the need to integrate DMX data over existing power infrastructures arises.

Utilizing GLP's DoP (DMX over Powerline) technology, the DoP Converter UM RX024 allows DMX signals to be modulated onto existing power lines without the need to install additional data lines. This technology eliminates many of the challenges associated with traditional wireless systems (like WDMX and CRMX), which can suffer from interference, limited range, and reliability issues. GLP's DoP Converter offers a stable, interference-free solution that works well even in environments with thick concrete walls or areas lacking direct line-of-sight between devices. The system can transmit DMX data over a standard power line, making it a practical and cost-effective solution for complex installations.

The GLP DoP Converter UM RX024 operates in two main modes: Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX). In TX mode, it transmits up to 512 DMX channels, converting DMX data into a power-line modulated signal. In RX mode, it receives the modulated DMX data from the power line and decodes it back into 24 DMX channels for use with lighting fixtures. Additionally, the RX version (RX024) can support up to 24 channels, making it ideal for smaller setups or specific lighting applications where fewer channels are required. The DoP technology ensures that up to 10 universes can be transmitted over a single power line, with easy decoupling and integration at any point in the system.

For seamless integration and easy installation, the GLP DoP Converter UM RX024 comes with a user-friendly control interface. A backlit graphic display and simple two-button control system allow for easy setup, addressing, and configuration. The converter is designed for surface mounting and can be installed in a variety of locations, thanks to its compact housing and included wall-mount accessory. The device is housed in a high-impact, flame-retardant thermoplastic material, ensuring durability and long-lasting performance, while the unit's IP20 protection rating means it is suitable for dry, indoor environments.

Whether you are retrofitting existing systems or setting up a new installation, the GLP DoP Converter UM RX024 provides a reliable and scalable solution for DMX-over-Powerline transmission. Its versatility, ease of use, and compatibility with standard power infrastructure make it an excellent choice for a wide range of architectural lighting projects, offering both time and cost savings by leveraging existing power systems.
