Luminex LumiNode 4 DIN RJ45 - 4-Port DIN-Rail PoE Ethernet to DMX Node with 4 x RJ45 Outputs and 6 Processing Engines in Black Finish

The Luminex LumiNode 4 DIN RJ45 is a highly efficient and versatile 4-Port PoE Ethernet to DMX node, specifically designed for seamless integration in fixed installations and architainment environments. Engineered for easy mounting on standard DIN rails, this device is perfect for applications in theaters, studios, and other professional settings. Its robust construction and compact design make it an ideal choice for demanding lighting tasks where reliability and performance are paramount.

Featuring four RJ45-DMX ports, the LumiNode 4 DIN RJ45 offers full support for ANSI E1.11 (2008) DMX data transmission. Each port is fully optically and galvanically isolated, ensuring that signals remain unaffected by external electrical noise or interference. The device can be configured for each port to function as either an input or an output, providing flexibility for various system setups. With a total of six onboard processing engines, the LumiNode 4 can efficiently manage and process DMX/RDM data, supporting multiple merging modes such as HTP (Highest Take Priority), LTP (Lowest Take Priority), Crossfade, Backup, Switch, and Custom merging, all with soft patch functionality.

This node is fully compatible with key industry protocols including Art-Net, sACN, KiNET, and RTTrPL (Blacktrax), enabling it to serve as a versatile hub for lighting control in complex networked environments. Additionally, the LumiNode 4 DIN RJ45 supports Remote Device Management (RDM), allowing users to monitor and manage connected devices without needing to access them physically, which significantly enhances operational efficiency.

For enhanced reliability, the LumiNode 4 DIN RJ45 includes features such as automatic DMX redundancy and recovery mechanisms, ensuring that even under challenging conditions, the lighting tasks are executed flawlessly. The device also incorporates a show recording and playback mode, allowing users to store lighting scenes for quick playback, while an external contact closure is included to facilitate emergency scene playback.

Configuring the LumiNode 4 DIN RJ45 is straightforward thanks to its built-in web server and a fully documented open API, which allows for easy integration with third-party control systems. A color display and user-friendly interface facilitate quick access to settings, including universe numbers, enhancing the user experience.

Equipped with two 1 Gigabit Ethernet ports, this node allows for a split network interface, enabling individual IP addresses for each port. This capability permits the separation of lighting data streams from IT-related data, facilitating remote monitoring and management without compromising critical control signals. The implementation of group (VLAN) technology enables users to manage multiple data streams efficiently, allowing the second Ethernet port to be used for other applications such as video control or Dante audio.

In summary, the Luminex LumiNode 4 DIN RJ45 is a robust, flexible, and efficient solution for lighting professionals, combining advanced features with a durable design to meet the demands of modern lighting control systems.
