Introduction
Net-X II User Manual Rev. 2
2. Introduction
Description
Net-X II is a reliable and versatile rack-mountable ethernet-to-DMX adapter with an integrated optical DMX
splitter and ethernet switch capability. It has two 5-pin DMX In ports and eight 5-pin DMX Out ports, all
optically isolated. It takes up to 8 Art-Net™ or sACN universes simultaneously. The eight 5-pin DMX Out
ports can be assigned to either of the DMX In ports or to one of the Art-Net™ or sACN universes. Neutrik®
etherCON® ports are through ports that allow daisy chaining of Net-X II units. Net-X II provides a reliable,
highly customizable network infrastructure for complex control systems. Merge two controllers into the Net-
X II via DMX, Art-Net™, or sACN, supporting both LTP (Latest Takes Precedence) and HTP (Highest
Takes Precedence) functions. Record function allows you to record looks from a controller and save them
into memory and it is webserver supported for remote configuration and backup/update.
