Pknight ArtNet DMX Ethernet Lighting Controller Interface, 3-Pin XLR, 1-Universe Bi-directional Art-Net to DMX512 Node (No RDM)

Quick to set up and works great, wish it had DHCP but for the money I can’t complain.

Programming lights is a major learning curve. Plenty of info out there on that. However once setup was able to control lighting via wi fi and not loose signal. There are 4 wireless guitars and 4 wireless iem and a wireless mic on stage with the band I work with. No drop outs communicating to this device.

You can’t beat this unit. Great product and price.

Got one of these to test because my school had one; nice little unit that appears to do all the right things. Configuration is easy once you understand you have to hold the "return" for 3 seconds to make a setting stick. Using Micro-USB is nice as you can put a recharging block inline to add power redundancy. Screen and lighting is nice and does all the right things. I'd have given it 5 stars if it had a web-server based configuration; the RDM config for the name is nice .. but the only tool that works is Windows based, and we're a Mac Shop so I had to setup to use that. Also this only works in a single subnet .. it does not allow for a defined router if you have multiple subnets.

Cool device that works with Home Assistant

I had a custom programmed Raspberry PI 3 that was controlling my DMX lights. The RP3 solution provided the DMX control signals and a custom UI. The problem was every time something need to be changed the software had to be updated. The RP3 would also sometimes fail to boot after an unexpected power failure. While looking for an easier way to create lighting control UIs I came across Home Assistant (Home Automation Software) that provides an interface to ART-NET which also controls DMX lights. So I purchased this ART-Net device and set it up with Home Assistant and it works great once configured and initialized with the free software. I have found that you must use ART-NET's software to get the device to start working the first time. After that it works great and with Home Assistant it is easy to add, remove and update lighting control User Interfaces.

For the price it’s excellent. I like it much better than the EDMX Pro I had for Artnet to DMX. The best feature is the screen on the unit itself. It’s extremely easy to set up and allows instant troubleshooting in the event of an issue vs other options which require software. Build quality is excellent. Works great with Lightkey For Mac. My only complaint is the requirement to use a usb a power brick with the included cable. I’d prefer poe or a power adapter but this company makes. Bigger unit with those things. Overall would recommend and this will be my every time use control from now on.

bought to replace a much more expensive unit that broke. works as described. configuration was easy and performance has been rock solid. no issues after 6 months. highly recommended if using to run light shows with ethernet -dmx. will buy again if just to have a standby or create another universe. priced right!

Very reliable and good quality. Once set up, no worries.

I've moved all our lighting to these adapters. I use them with QLC+ mostly, in both single and multiple universes. They are really good performers. Once the IP is set on them, they are pretty much straight forward to use. I like they SO much better than the USB ->DMX adapters. Ethernet locks in. Since FOH usually has a network cable, most of these adapters I just put up in the truss or near the light stands and just run a piece of ethernet to them right on the network with our audio and other computers. Integrates very nicely.

Fácil de operar

Works great, very reliable, thanks!

Genutzt um erstellte UDP- Befehle über ein Mischpultes (UI24R V3.3) für einfachste DMX- Lichtsteuerung zu konvertieren. Stabiles Metallgehäuse, gut ablesbares Display, alles am Gerät selbst einstellbar, Eingegebene Daten bleiben nach Netztrennung gespeichert. Hilfreich ist die blaue Empfangs- / Sende- LED für das DMX Signal. Die Signalrichtung von UDP - DMX; DMX - UDP ist umschaltbar. Beim Art-Net ist Port 6454 (Hex 1936) zu verwenden. Benötigt wird ein USB- Netzteil, ein Adapterkabel auf den USB-C Anschluss liegt bei.
