Luminex LumiNode 1 - 1-Port PoE Ethernet to DMX Node with 1 x 5-Pin XLR Output and 2 Processing Engines in Black Finish

The Luminex LumiNode 1 is an essential tool for lighting professionals, offering a compact yet powerful solution for integrating DMX control with Ethernet protocols. Designed with versatility in mind, the LumiNode 1 serves as a 1-Port PoE (Power over Ethernet) node, equipped with a single 5-Pin XLR output and two processing engines, enabling the efficient routing and management of lighting data without the need for complex setups. This node is particularly useful in environments where flexibility and portability are key, making it an invaluable companion for technicians on the go.

One of the standout features of the LumiNode 1 is its USB to Ethernet functionality, which allows it to act as an Ethernet dongle when connected to a laptop or PC. This means that users can easily connect to any network-based lighting control software without requiring additional drivers, facilitating immediate access to control systems. Whether you're using it in a live setting or for programming purposes, the LumiNode 1 ensures a seamless and efficient workflow.

As a standalone node, the LumiNode 1 offers bi-directional, fully isolated DMX capabilities along with two robust network processing engines. It supports a range of industry-standard protocols, including Art-Net, sACN, KiNET, and RTTrPL (BlackTrax), allowing for versatile integration with various lighting systems. The onboard processing engines are capable of handling multiple merging modes, such as HTP (Highest Take Priority), LTP (Lowest Take Priority), Crossfade, Backup, and Custom merging, providing users with the flexibility to manage lighting configurations in a way that best suits their needs. Additionally, the soft patch functionality allows for greater control over how data is routed, making it easier to manage lighting setups dynamically.

The LumiNode 1's rugged construction ensures durability in demanding environments. The device features a 1Gbit EtherCON port for reliable network connectivity and PoE power, minimizing the need for separate power supplies and cables. Its compact "pocket-sized" form factor makes it easy to transport, fitting conveniently into any technician's toolkit.

Furthermore, the LumiNode 1 includes features such as optical and galvanic isolation for the DMX port, ensuring protection against electrical interference and enhancing the reliability of signal transmission. It also supports DMX redundancy, providing peace of mind during critical applications where signal integrity is paramount. Users can monitor and configure the device through a built-in web server, with a documented Web API for advanced customizations.

In summary, the Luminex LumiNode 1 is a versatile and reliable PoE Ethernet to DMX node, combining ease of use with advanced functionality, making it a crucial asset for lighting professionals looking to streamline their setups and enhance operational efficiency.
