General Description

Born from the Open DMX USB and DMX USB PRO, the ODE is the industry's first affordable DMX Ethernet gateway. Out of the box, the ODE is configured as an Art-Net output node on universe 0:0 but can be easily and quickly changed using the free NMU tool. This means there are no dip-switches or thumb wheels to worry about on the ODE. The ODE is perfect for distributing DMX signals over Cat5 in a cost effective manner or with wireless ethernet systems.

Note:  No Power Supply Included

Plugins

Featured 3rd Party Solution

ODE Plugins (Please contact us for Plugins Pricing)

Add Extra functionality to your ODE using these plugins. These plugins can be enabled or disabled using NMU (v1.50 & above) The Plugin License Key is unique for each ODE and will only allow you to activate the plugin for that ODE

Plugin: HTP MERGE EXTENDED

Extends the HTP merging of input ethernet streams (Art-Net or ESP) from 2 to 6
Merging is based on a FIFO stack if you have more than 6
Each input is recognized by a different source IP address

Plugin: CrossOver Merge

This plugin takes input from two different Art-Net sources and merges them by using:-

• using the data from Source A for all channels starting at 1 and continuing up to and including a certain address (the Merge Threshold).
  
• Then for all addresses over the Merge Threshold, it uses the data from Source B instead. This secondary input is used from there up to 512.

Plugin: DMX Detour

With this plug-in, the ODE listens to an Art-Net source, ignoring any values it receives until the Start Listening Value
That address is then "shifted" to the Start Sending Value for DMX output.
All higher channels are shifted the same number of slots as well, until the maximum address of 512 is reached.
