Next-generation Ethernet to DMX/RDM gateway
The DIN Ethergate Mk2 is a reliable DMX node designed for architectural, commercial, or entertainment projects. It supports 2 Universes of bi-directional DMX to DMX512-A conversion with ArtRDM support, and Overdrive Mode enables control of up to 4,096 channels per port at higher transmission speeds of 500K, 750K or 1000K (works only with Overdrive-compatible fixtures). Dual Ethernet ports, one with PoE, allow easy daisy-chaining, while configuration and firmware updates are managed via a localhost web interface. Its slim, 4 DIN-module housing offers flexible mounting options and user-friendly wiring with pluggable terminal blocks.

Easy web page configuration
The configuration is managed through the localhost web interface to simplify commissioning and updates as well as to allow the DIN Ethergate Mk2 to be configured from any computer on your network.
Sync mode
All ENTTEC Ethernet hardware accepts sACN Sync as well as ArtSync to fully synchronize Art-Net data for all output ports and across your installation when receiving Art-Net from the same source.
Flexible power options
Power the DIN Ethergate using IEEE 802.3af PoE (Power over Ethernet) or DC 12-24v input. NOTE: when daisy-chained in series, only the first device will receive PoE. Subsequent devices require PoE injector individually to be powered via an Ethernet port.
Choice of mounting options
Featuring a 4-DIN-module electrically-insulated housing, the DIN Ethergate MK2’s slim form includes a DIN-rail clip enabling attachment to a TS35 DIN-rail alongside the option to wall mount the device in any orientation.
Time-saving + installer-friendly
Our Ethernet to DMX converter is packed with installer-friendly features including pluggable terminal connectors and inbuilt DMX termination to simplify wiring. Also, a ‘Current Port Buffer’ within the web interface allows live DMX values to be viewed from the web interface to troubleshoot your installation. Upon receiving power, the device is ready to go within seconds.
Overdrive Mode
Output data at higher transmission rates, with selectable speeds of 500K (default), 750K and 1000K, to control up to 8 Universes per port for Overdrive-compatible fixtures. IMPORTANT: DMX500K, DMX750K and DMX1000K are incompatible with standard DMX512-A fixtures and does not conform to ANSI E1.11 – 2024. Do not use Overdrive Mode with unsupported fixtures. ENTTEC’s DMX Neon Flex is a compatible fixture supporting Overdrive Mode.
3-year warranty
ENTTEC are proud to back up the confidence in our research, engineering and quality control with a 3-year return-to-base manufacturer warranty on this product.
