Elation Lighting EN12 Ethernet to DMX 12-Port OLED Display Gateway

High-Density Ethernet to DMX Gateway for Professional Lighting Systems

This 12-port Ethernet to DMX gateway is designed to provide reliable, flexible signal distribution for modern lighting networks. It converts Art-Net and sACN data to physical DMX outputs, making it an ideal solution for live productions, touring systems, and permanent installations that require a large number of DMX ports in a compact footprint.

Twelve Optically Isolated DMX Ports for Reliable Signal Flow

The gateway features twelve 5-pin DMX/RDM ports with optical isolation to protect connected fixtures and controllers. Each port is bidirectional, allowing it to be configured as either a DMX input or output, which supports advanced routing, merging, and system expansion across complex lighting rigs.

Support for Art-Net, sACN, and RDM Protocols

Full compatibility with Art-Net, sACN, and RDM ensures seamless integration into modern Ethernet-based lighting systems. RDM functionality allows remote fixture management and monitoring, reducing setup time and simplifying maintenance in both live and installed environments.

Preset-Based Operation with Internal Cue Playback

Factory and user presets allow fast plug-and-play configuration without external software. The gateway also includes internal cue playback, supporting up to 99 stored cues with adjustable fade and delay times. Contact closure inputs enable external triggering of presets, routing changes, or cues, making it useful for architectural lighting and show control applications.

Clear Local Control with OLED Display and Encoder

A front-panel OLED display paired with a rotary encoder provides direct access to menus and system settings. This interface allows quick configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting directly from the unit, which is especially valuable in on-site production environments.

Flexible Power Options for Touring and Install Use

The gateway can be powered either by standard line voltage or via Power over Ethernet. This dual-power capability simplifies installation, reduces cable clutter, and supports both mobile and fixed deployments. Dual locking Ethernet connections ensure stable network connectivity.

Rugged Half-Rack Design for Long-Term Reliability

Housed in a powder-coated aluminum half-rack enclosure, the unit is built for durability in touring racks or fixed installations. Its compact size allows high port density without consuming excessive rack space.
