Vari-Lite Networking Node 3 DIN - 3-Port DIN-Rail Ethernet to DMX Converter with 3 x 5-Pin XLR Outputs in Black Finish

The Vari-Lite Networking Node 3 DIN (Model # 65161-RW) is a highly compact and flexible Ethernet to DMX converter, designed to provide cost-effective, reliable network connectivity for DMX-controlled lighting systems. This node is perfect for a wide range of facilities, from small venues to large, complex installations, supporting popular protocols like sACN, Art-Net, RDM, ShowNet, and Vision.net. The device allows for easy integration into existing setups, providing up to three DMX512 output ports, making it a versatile solution for various lighting control applications.

This networking node is engineered for optimal performance with a fast 40 Hz DMX512 update rate, ensuring smooth, real-time data transmission between the lighting control system and DMX devices. Each of the three ports can be customized to handle any range of 512 DMX addresses, providing complete flexibility for large-scale systems. Users can configure the ports for input or output operations or even for Vision.net bridging, making it adaptable to the needs of both simple and advanced setups.

One of the standout features of the Networking Node 3 DIN is its DIN rail mounting capability. This design allows for easy installation in various locations, especially within standard electrical enclosures or panels. The device can be powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE) (IEEE 802.3af), simplifying the setup and reducing the need for additional power supplies. Alternatively, the node can also be powered via a 9 to 24 VDC input through a 2-pin Phoenix connector, providing added flexibility for different system requirements.

The node is fully compatible with several widely used control systems, including Streaming ACN (E1.31), Art-Net, Shownet, and Vision.net, ensuring broad compatibility with industry standards. Its robust construction, made of self-extinguishing PC/ABS material, ensures durability in a variety of environments, while its compact size makes it easy to install in tight spaces.

With features like priority patching (up to three levels of priority assignments) and advanced DMX512 patching for easy system configuration, the Vari-Lite Networking Node 3 DIN is a reliable, high-performance solution for any DMX-based lighting control system.
