Luminex LumiNode 2 - 2-Port PoE Ethernet to DMX Node with 2 x 5-Pin XLR Outputs and 4 Processing Engines in Black Finish

The Luminex LumiNode 2 is a versatile and robust 2-Port PoE Ethernet to DMX node designed to streamline the conversion, routing, and merging of DMX and RDM data over a network. Engineered for professional applications in theater, studio AV installations, and live performances, this node features a durable all-metal enclosure that can be conveniently mounted on fly bars or walls, ensuring it withstands the rigors of any environment.

Equipped with two 5-Pin XLR outputs and two 1Gb EtherCON ports, the LumiNode 2 provides exceptional flexibility in a compact form factor. Each DMX port is fully configurable, offering optical and galvanic isolation to enhance signal integrity and protect connected devices from electrical interference. This configurability allows the ports to be used as either inputs or outputs, accommodating a wide range of setups tailored to the specific needs of any lighting system.

The LumiNode 2 supports a comprehensive array of industry-standard protocols, including Art-Net, sACN, KiNET, and RTTrPL (BlackTrax), ensuring compatibility with various lighting control systems. With four onboard processing engines, it can handle complex data management tasks with ease, supporting merging modes such as HTP (Highest Take Priority), LTP (Lowest Take Priority), Crossfade, Backup, Switch, and Custom. The soft patch functionality allows for easy adjustments and configurations, making it a powerful tool for lighting designers.

Incorporating Remote Device Management (RDM) capabilities, the LumiNode 2 enables users to monitor and manage connected devices remotely, streamlining the workflow and reducing the need for physical access to fixtures. Additionally, it features automatic functional and operational redundancy, ensuring reliable performance even under demanding conditions. A show recording and playback mode allows users to conveniently store and trigger lighting scenes, enhancing the overall versatility of the device. An external contact closure is included, enabling users to initiate scene playback during emergencies or other critical moments.

Configured through a user-friendly web-based interface, the LumiNode 2 simplifies setup and operation, with a fully documented open API for easy integration with third-party control or management systems. Its dual 1Gbps Ethernet ports provide the option of a split network interface, enabling individual IP addresses to segregate lighting data streams from IT-related data, which facilitates remote monitoring without disrupting critical lighting operations.

The LumiNode 2 is designed for future-proofing, featuring group (VLAN) technology that allows for seamless integration into Ethernet-only lighting networks. The integrated switch capabilities ensure efficient data flow, making this node a vital component in modern lighting environments.

In summary, the Luminex LumiNode 2 is a powerful and flexible solution for lighting professionals, combining advanced features with robust construction to ensure reliability and ease of use in a variety of applications.
