Stand Alone DMX Controller — 1, 2 & 4 Universes
PL-DIN is the ideal DMX stand alone interface for installation in electrical DIN cabinets with DIN rails. The USB-to-DMX, Ethernet-enabled device controls from 512 to 2048 channels on 1, 2 or 4 DMX universes.
Featuring a robust Stand Alone mode and a wide range of trigger possibilities — RS232, dry contacts, real-time clock, NODE ×4 ports, Master/Slave — this competent device is a smart solution for easy and quick architectural installations and large integration projects.
Free Pixelerr software and applications are available across devices: Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android and Raspberry Pi.
Features
- DIN-rail form factor — installs directly in standard electrical DIN cabinets.
- Controls 512, 1024 or 2048 DMX channels on 1, 2 or 4 universes.
- Robust Stand Alone mode — up to 5 zones and 5 × 512 scenes with automatic scene recovery after power cut.
- Wide trigger range: RS232, 12 smart dry contacts, real-time clock & calendar, infrared remote, UDP/Ethernet and Master/Slave sync (up to 16 universes).
- NODE mode decodes Art-Net & sACN to DMX on up to 4 ports; Art-Net/sACN playback from micro SD card.
- Setting and configuration via USB-C, Ethernet or Pixelerr App (LAN & Internet).
