Obsidian EN12 - 12-Port Ethernet to DMX Converter with 5-Pin XLR Outputs and 1.8-inch OLED Display in Dark Gray Finish

The Obsidian EN12 is a highly advanced 12-Port Ethernet to DMX converter designed for high-density applications in live production and permanent installations. Finished in a sleek dark gray, this powerful gateway provides twelve RDM-compatible ports that allow for seamless integration into complex lighting systems, making it an essential tool for professionals who require numerous physical DMX connections. The EN12 is engineered to support a variety of protocols, including RDM, Art-Net, and sACN, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices and systems.

One of the standout features of the EN12 is its ease of configuration, thanks to a range of integrated presets and a comprehensive set of advanced merging and routing capabilities. This flexibility allows users to customize their setups according to specific production needs, enhancing the overall efficiency of their lighting control systems. The device includes contact closures that enable users to recall presets, manage routings, perform mergers, or activate any of the 99 internal cues with fade and delay times, providing a versatile tool for managing dynamic lighting effects during performances.

The EN12 is powered either via line voltage or Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing for flexible installation options depending on the setup requirements. A user-friendly 1.8-inch OLED display provides clear visibility of settings and operational status, while the integrated rotary knob allows for easy navigation and adjustments. This interface simplifies the setup process, enabling quick access to various configurations and options.

For enhanced functionality, the EN12 supports remote configuration through an internal webpage, enabling technicians to monitor and adjust settings from any connected device. This feature is particularly valuable during live events where quick adjustments may be necessary. The powder-coated aluminum rackmount housing not only offers durability but also makes the EN12 suitable for mounting in standard 19-inch racks, ensuring it integrates seamlessly into existing setups.

With a total of twelve front-facing 5-pin DMX/RDM ports, the EN12 provides bidirectional communication for both DMX In and Out, making it an invaluable resource for managing extensive lighting setups. The rear of the device features two locking RJ45 Ethernet network inputs, ten contact closures (terminal block), and a locking power In/Thru connection, facilitating easy integration with other devices and systems.

Measuring 19 inches in length, 5.7 inches in width, and 1.7 inches in height, and weighing only 4 lbs, the EN12 is both compact and lightweight, making it easy to transport and install. It operates within a power range of 100-240 V at 50/60 Hz, with a power consumption of just 9W, ensuring efficient operation in various environments. The EN12 also meets essential industry standards and approvals, including CE, cETLus, and FCC, along with an IP20 rating, which signifies that it is suitable for indoor use in non-harsh environments.
