ArtNet\/sACN Ethernet Node 8 ultra-versatile DMX ports<\/h2>\n

The Versatile Node in XLR-5.<\/strong>
Today\u2019s lighting consoles communicate over Ethernet using the ArtNet or sACN (streaming ACN) protocols, allowing hundreds of DMX universes to be transmitted over a single standard network cable. However, the majority of spotlights, moving heads, and effect machines still operate using the classic DMX512 protocol via XLR cables. The Node converts Ethernet signals (ArtNet\/sACN) into DMX signals that your lighting equipment can use. It is the essential bridge between your network console and your on-stage fixtures. The BT-NODE 285 stands out for its 5-pin XLR connectors on all its DMX ports, perfect for installations requiring this professional standard (a 3-pin XLR version is also available: BT-NODE 283). <\/p>\n

8 configurable DMX ports for total flexibility.<\/strong>
The BT-NODE 285 is a high-performance professional Ethernet node equipped with 8 fully configurable DMX ports. Each port can be individually configured as an input or output, offering total flexibility for creating complex setups: multi-universe DMX distribution, console merging, automatic backup, or RDM system integration. With its advanced output modes (single, LTP, HTP), the BT-NODE 285 adapts to all professional configurations, from simple DMX splits to multi-zone stage installations with centralized management. Its automatic Ethernet bypass ensures network continuity even in the event of a power outage, guaranteeing maximum reliability for mission-critical installations. <\/p>\n

Intuitive configuration and real-time monitoring.<\/strong>
The BT-NODE 285 can be configured in two ways: via its built-in web interface (compatible with PCs, Macs, tablets, and smartphones) for full network management, or directly on the device using its large graphical LCD screen and rotary encoder. DHCP support and configuration via ArtNet facilitate integration into existing networks. The IP merging feature allows you to combine multiple DMX universes intuitively, making it ideal for mixing control sources or creating redundancies. Predefined and custom presets speed up on-site deployment, while RDM compatibility via ArtNet allows for remote configuration and diagnostics without the need for physical intervention. <\/p>\n

Rugged construction and professional 5-pin XLR connectors.<\/strong>
Designed for permanent installations and demanding tours, the BT-NODE 285 features a rugged 19″ 1U rack-mount enclosure. All DMX ports use 5-pin XLR connectors, the industry standard favored in many technical installations. The 100\u2013240 V AC, 50\u201360 Hz powerCON-compatible power supply with input\/output allows for power daisy-chaining to simplify rack cabling. Automatic Ethernet bypass maintains network continuity even when the device is powered off, preventing critical network outages during maintenance or failures. <\/p>\n
