The Datagate: The
bridge to new technologies
DMX
Hub, DMX Merger, DMX to Ethernet and Ethernet to DMX, all in one.
General Description: The
Datagate is the cornerstone of any DMX network. It can be:
- DMX
Hub/Splitter
- DMX
Merger (HTP or LTP)
- DMX
-> Ethernet
- Ethernet-> DMX
- Or
any combination of the above
The
Datagate has 10 profiles, each profile reconfigures it to perform
a specific task, the Datagate comes with factory profiles such
as:
- DMX
Hub,
- 4Way
Isolator
- 7
to 1 HTP Merger
- DMX
-> Ethernet
- Ethernet
-> DMX.
- Artnet
The
user can also create their own profiles to make the datagate
perform how ever he/she wants.
With the flick of a switch the Datagate can become a completely different product,
thus replacing many devices such as DMX hubs, mergers, or DMX/Ethernet converter
boxes with one single unit.
The
Datagate has 8 input or output DMX ports, and supports up to
8 DMX over ethernet universes (channels). When a DMX port is
configured as an input simply plug in the gender changer into
the required port. Port 8 has both connectors male and female
The
core of the Datagate is built around our proprietary Routing
Engine:
 |
The
routing engine has 8 rules
that determine what happens
to the dmx data, rules are
built as the following:
A
op B -> C
- A,B
or C can be any DMX port
or Channel
- op
(Operator) can be: Copy,
Merge LTP, Merge HTP
|
To
create a simple DMX hub with Port
8 as the input, the rule would
be:
Port 8 (1 to 512) copy -> Port 1
...
Port 8 (1 to 512) copy -> Port 7
For
a 8 universe Ethernet to DMX convertor:
Ethernet Channel 1 (1 to 512) copy -> Port 1
...
Ethernet Channel 8 (1 to 512) copy -> Port 8
Another application could be to use the datagate as a DMX output for an
ethernet enabled lighting desk, with port 8 as input for a riggers remote for
dimmer channels 1 to 200
Channel 1 HTP merge port 8 (1 to 200) -> Port 1
...
Channel 7 HTP merge port 8 (1 to 200) -> Port 7
All
merging, and conversion processing is handled by a proprietary
logic chip, thus guaranteeing that the dmx output from
the Datagate does not slow down whatever the situation.
Features:
- 8
RDM enabled 1500V opto isolated
DMX ports
- Break
time configurable for each DMX
port (88us to 1ms)
- DMX
Refresh rate configurable for each
port (2Hz -> 44Hz)
- Number
of channels configurable for each
port (1 to 512)
- Profile
editing and setup done through
easy menu structure or inbuilt

through webpage
- Supports
ESP & ARTNET protocols for
DMX over Ethernet
- ACN
ready
- Routing
Engine supports Copy, Merge HTP,
Merge LTP
- LCD
display provide status information
on port direction, and data flow
- The
Datagate DE & DME also includes
LightFactory Limited Edition
The
Datagate can be supplied as 4 models:
Datagate
D: DMX ports only (dmx hub)
Datagate DM: DMX ports + Merging
Datagate DE: DMX ports +
Ethernet
Datagate DME: DMX ports + Merging + Ethernet
The
datagate can be quickly upgraded from one version to another,
thus minimizing the initial investment.
Hardware: The
Datagate fits into a robust 19 inch 1 Unit rack, It has
an inbuilt mains power supply that will accept any input
voltage from 96 to 264V AC.
