Luminex LumiNode 4 DIN TB - 4-Port DIN-Rail PoE Ethernet to DMX Node with 4 x 3-Pin Terminal Block Outputs and 6 Processing Engines in Black Finish

The Luminex LumiNode 4 DIN TB is a versatile and efficient 4-Port DIN-Rail PoE Ethernet to DMX node, specifically engineered for the seamless conversion, routing, and merging of DMX and RDM data in fixed installations and architainment applications. With its robust design, this device can be easily mounted on standard DIN rails, making it an ideal solution for professional environments such as theaters, studios, and live event venues where reliability and performance are critical.

This model features four 3-Pin terminal block outputs, allowing for direct wiring to various lighting fixtures and systems, facilitating flexible integration in any setup. Each output is fully isolated, both optically and galvanically, ensuring that signals are transmitted without interference. The LumiNode 4 DIN TB supports a range of industry-standard protocols, including Art-Net, sACN, KiNET, and RTTrPL (Blacktrax), making it compatible with numerous lighting control systems. The device is powered through PoE (Power over Ethernet) or DC power, which simplifies installation by reducing the need for additional power supplies.

With six onboard processing engines, the LumiNode 4 DIN TB can efficiently handle complex data tasks. It supports various merging modes including HTP (Highest Take Priority), LTP (Lowest Take Priority), Crossfade, Backup, Switch, and Custom merging, along with soft patch functionality, giving users the flexibility to customize their lighting configurations according to specific needs. The device also includes Remote Device Management (RDM) capabilities, enabling users to monitor and manage connected devices remotely, which significantly enhances operational efficiency and reduces the need for physical access to fixtures.

Additionally, the LumiNode 4 DIN TB features automatic DMX redundancy and recovery systems, ensuring that it can reliably perform even in challenging situations. The show recording and playback mode allows users to store and easily trigger lighting scenes as needed. An external contact closure is included, which can be used to initiate scene playback during emergencies or critical situations.

Configuration of the LumiNode 4 DIN TB is intuitive, facilitated by a built-in web-based user interface. Users can access and modify settings easily, and the fully documented open API ensures smooth integration with any third-party control or management system. The device's two 1 Gigabit Ethernet ports provide the capability for a split network interface, allowing individual IP addresses for each port. This feature enables the separation of lighting network data streams from IT-related data, ensuring efficient remote monitoring and management without compromising critical lighting control data.

Designed with practicality in mind, the LumiNode 4 DIN TB supports VLAN technology, which allows the node to connect to different groups or systems, such as video control or Dante audio, via its Ethernet ports. This enhances its versatility and adaptability in modern lighting networks.

In summary, the Luminex LumiNode 4 DIN TB is a robust and flexible solution for lighting professionals, combining advanced processing features with a durable design to meet the demands of contemporary lighting control systems while ensuring ease of installation and operation.
