Rackmount DMX512 Merge Unit with digital filter

The DMX-Merge is a 1U rackmount solution to the common problem of connecting two controllers to one DMX512 line.

Input

The product supports two DMX512 inputs which accept both flavours of DMX512. Each input also provides a data receive indicator.

The A input provides an address switch which allows the input to be offset from channel one.

The DMX512 inputs are optically isolated from the output and each other. This is a particular benefit in removing earth loop problems in large installations and outdoor events.

Digital Filter

Each input channel contains a digital filter and timing analyser. This unique firmware allows DMX-Merge to remove channel flicker associated with analogue consoles and also re-time borderline DMX512 signals.

Output

The output is formed by merging the two inputs; if the address switches are set such that the two incoming data streams overlap, the output which is highest takes precedence.

This means that the DMX-Merge may be used either to allow two lighting desks control of the same dimmers or to combine two desks to a higher channel count. For example, to allow two 60-channel desks to operate as a single 120-chanel desk.

Colortran and Avab protocol versions of the product are also available
