Take your lighting setup to the next level with the ChamSys GeNetix GN4IP – the IP65-rated, 4-port node that’s built to endure!

GeNetix Node 4 IP is a compact IP65-rated 4-port Ethernet-to-DMX Node that comes with multiple rigging options for easily mounting in your rig. Featuring 1 Network Port and 4 DMX Outputs that can be used as either DMX In or Out, Port Status LEDs, and the ability to be powered either via PoE or via Mains power to its PowerCon True1 Mains Input connector. This rugged and versatile device can be configured remotely over network via either its inbuilt Webserver, Art-Net or a ChamSys Console.

GeNetix Protocols

• GeNetix network nodes support industry standard lighting protocols; Art-Net V1,2,3 and 4, sACN – including priorities on a per universe basis and Remote Device Management (RDM).
• DMX timings are fully configurable, with refresh rate, break time, frame time and MAB.

DMX Fallback

• DMX Fallback enables fixtures on a single universe to be connected in a loop to two ports on the GeNetix node for redundancy. If a single cable is broken anywhere in the DMX loop, all fixtures can still receive DMX.
• Individual ports can be set to Output, Input or Fallback.
• DMX Fallback is supported within a GeNetix node and also between multiple GeNetix nodes.

Merging

• GeNetix nodes support merging, configurable per port. The merge options are: None, HTP, LTP, Lowest IP address, Highest IP address.
• When set to HTP, for each of the channels on that universe the node uses the highest level received from all sources sending to that universe.
• When set to LTP, for each of the channels the node uses the data received from the latest source. The node only changes to data from the other source when the data from that source has changed in value, or when the first source has been timed out. LTP merging is only supported for a maximum of two sources.
• When set to Highest IP address or Lowest IP address the node merges each universe based on the data from the source with the highest or lowest IP address respectively. For example, a house system can be set as a very low IP address and then merging set to “highest IP” to enable incoming consoles to have priority over the house system.

Scenes

• GeNetix nodes support storage of 10 Scenes that can be recorded from the incoming Art-Net or sACN data. Scenes contain DMX data for one or more ports on the node.
• Scenes can be replayed from either the node front panel, from the MagicQ / QuickQ Console, via the webserver or via 10Scene wall plates on the GN5 & GN10 Nodes.

Node Configuration

• The GeNetix network nodes can be configured from MagicQ consoles and PC systems and from QuickQ consoles. They can also all be configured from a web server. The nodes with a front panel can also be configured from the front panel.
• GeNetix nodes also support a lock PIN to prevent the configuration being modified from the front panel of the GeNetix

Lost Data Behaviour

• GeNetix Nodes support 3 modes for when the node loses network data (Art-Net or sACN)
• Hold – Holds the last output DMX values
• None – Stops outputting DMX
• Zeroes – Outputs DMX 0’s on all channels

DMX synchronisation

• GeNetix nodes support synchronised DMX output to reduce tearing. Synchronisation is controlled via ChamNet and is available when used with MagicQ consoles.
