Swisson XND-4D - 4-Port DIN-Rail Ethernet to DMX Converter with RJ45/Terminal Block Outputs in Black Finish

The Swisson XND-4D is a versatile 4-port DIN-rail Ethernet to DMX converter node designed to streamline the distribution of DMX data across multiple universes in fixed installations. Supporting both Art-Net and sACN protocols, the XND-4D enables lighting professionals to transmit data over Ethernet and convert it into four separate DMX outputs, with each port individually optically isolated for reliable performance. Its compact DIN-rail mounting design makes it ideal for permanent installations in theaters, architectural lighting, and other fixed venues.

The XND-4D supports up to four DMX universes and features both RJ45 and terminal block output options, allowing for flexible installation configurations. This capability ensures compatibility with various lighting control setups and infrastructure requirements. Since many major lighting consoles and controllers natively support Art-Net and sACN, the XND-4D enables you to take full advantage of networked lighting control without the need for additional hardware. It also facilitates DMX data transmission from computers or mobile devices, making it highly adaptable to modern lighting control workflows.

Configuration of the XND-4D is made simple through its intuitive 128x64 pixel OLED display, which, along with the easy-to-use encoder knob, provides quick access to essential settings. The device also offers a web interface for remote configuration and status monitoring, allowing users to make adjustments, observe real-time data, and update firmware from any location. With quick-access buttons for each DMX port, lighting professionals can easily select Art-Net or sACN universes and set up the desired configuration in no time.

One of the standout features of the XND-4D is its integrated DMX merger. This allows two different DMX signals to be merged into one, offering a valuable solution for installations where multiple lighting controllers are used. Whether the controllers are working in parallel or as a backup system, the XND-4D ensures seamless data merging without conflict. This feature makes the XND-4D ideal for complex setups where multiple control points are needed.

In terms of power, the XND-4D operates with a low power consumption of only 4W and can be powered via a 10-48 VDC input. This efficient power consumption, combined with its robust build and optically isolated DMX ports, ensures reliability even in high-demand environments. The XND-4D is designed to withstand a wide range of temperatures, from 22°F to 131°F, making it suitable for installations in various indoor and outdoor environments.

With its lightweight construction (weighing only 1.48 lbs) and compact dimensions (6.9 x 3.5 x 2.5 inches), the XND-4D is easy to integrate into existing setups. Its flexibility, ease of use, and powerful merging capabilities make it an essential tool for any professional lighting installation requiring network-based control. The XND-4D is compatible with RDM (Remote Device Management) on its DMX outputs, further enhancing its ability to monitor and manage connected fixtures remotely.
