In a nutshell

  • Two bi-directional female 5-pin DMX ports with optional RDM (E1.20) support.
  • IEEE 802.3af PoE (Power over Ethernet) or DC 12-24V input.
  • Support for Art-Net 4, sACN and ESP to DMX conversion.
  • Support for DMX -> Art-Net (Broadcast or Unicast) / DMX -> sACN (Multicast or Unicast).
  • Intuitive device configuration and updates through the inbuilt localhost web interface.
  • 10/100 Mbps network speed.
  • ‘Current Port Buffer’ allows live DMX values to be viewed in the web UI.
  • Configurable DMX output refresh rate.

Features

Easy web page configuration

Configuration is managed through the localhost web interface to simplify commissioning and updates. Consequently, the ODE MK3 to be configured from any computer on your network.

Flexible power options

Power the ODE MK3 using IEEE 802.3af PoE (Power over Ethernet) or DC 12-24v input.

Sync mode

All ENTTEC Ethernet hardware accepts ArtSync to fully synchronise Art-Net data across your installation when receiving Art-Net from the same source to protect against content tearing and ensure a professional looking output across your rig.

Time-saving and installer-friendly

This Ethernet to DMX converter is packed with installer-friendly features including industry standard 5-pin XLR ports to simplify wiring.

Also, a ‘Current Port Buffer’ within the web interface allows live DMX values to be viewed from the localhost web interface to troubleshoot your installation. Upon receiving power, the device is ready to for action within seconds.

Protocols

The ODE Mk3’s primary functionality is to convert between Ethernet-DMX protocols and USITT DMX512-A (DMX). The following conversions are available with the ODE Mk3:

  • Art-Net – DMX (with/without RDM. ANSI E1.20 RDM supported)
  • DMX – Art-Net (Broadcast or Unicast)
  • sACN – DMX
  • DMX – sACN (Multicast or Unicast)
  • ESP – DMX
  • DMX – ESP (Broadcast or Unicast)

DESIGNED + MANUFACTURED IN AUSTRALIA BY

By making everything ourselves in our state-of-the-art Melbourne facility, we ensure the highest possible levels of consistency and quality control over our products. We’ve created a reliable brand that people know they can trust.

A key part of your smart home infrastructure

At ENTTEC we’ve built a reputation for system compatibility and integration.

Unlock a world of potential by integrating the ODE Mk3 Ethernet to DMX interface. Simply pair it with a number of well-known automation systems using generic Art-Net or sACN (E1.31) drivers to allow you to send and receive DMX and RDM.

If your control system of choice is unable to send Art-Net or sACN, we have a solution for you!

Our S-Play show controller is able to receive a wide range of low bandwidth input triggers and send out streams of lighting control data to the ODE MK3 and other DMX nodes across your installation network. Check it out here!
