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.
