The pioneering lighting solution DMX over Ethernet had been widely adapted in the past decade, mainly applied for pixel mapping DMX systems of entertainment lighting as well as some other field. It is ideal for the lighting users, perfectly suited to any type of installation, small or large whatever. The DMX Ethernet lighting control system is now a must-have for your lighting configuration.

How to Run DMX over Ethernet?

1.  From PC to ArtNet Node

     Simply speaking, Ethernet cable RJ45

2.  From ArtNet Node to DMX Fixtures  

    a. DMX through DMX Cable

       It is DMX signal that we use to talk to the DMX lighting fixtures, there is no doubt that 3-pin or 5-pinDMX cable fitting such system from controller to lights.

    b. DMX over CAT5 (DMX over Ethernet cable)

       Some Node in the market with built-in Ethernet connectors as DMX output, DMX512 can be transmitted over CAT5 directly to the light fixture with Ethernet Con as input.

3. From One ArtNet Node to Next Node – Ethernet through Network Cable

    Daisy chain Ethernet network signal over RJ45

Art-Net protocol allows users to run a great number of DMX, the latest version Art-Net 4 transporting up to 32,768 DMX universes over a single network cable. Ethernet lighting control, DMX over CAT5 or CAT6 will save you a lot on cable distribution.
