Hi,

probably not of much help, but i?ve successfully used the SACN-modules for sending DMX via Ethernet, but not yet for receiving.

However, looking at the modules, it seems as if it should be possible to receive as well.

Hi All,
App:? Theater/PAC - Need to have a DMX Console control ~6 channels of Crestron lighting (probably CLX) I'll have an RMC4+Keypads with a stand-alone program for local Keypad Control, Presets etc.
Scope: DMX Console needs to send trigger commands that I'll program scenes for, and direct load control of the CLX loads.

The DMX can/will be ethernet-based...

Do I need hardware to interface these? or is there a Logic Module/TCP connection setup that I can use?

The initial post says ?The DMX can/will be ethernet-based...“.

That implies that the console might be able to send the commands directly via an IP-based protocol and doesn?t need to be converted.

It might be even simpler that the console is able to send out some sort of trigger-events directly to a TCP/Client/Server on the Crestron processor.

But it would be good to get some more information on the capabilities of the console.

?

Cheers,

I guess that may be an option - but it would be helpful if you could spell it out?

I'm guessing the DMX console /may/ be DMX-512 out only, so what device should be used to convert serial DMX to Artnet over IP, and then how does that IP stream get consumed by the Crestron processor?? When you say OSC do you mean the Open Sound Control protocol?? I'm not aware of any Crestron modules for that (we did support it for a project and it was a horrible thing to implement).

Or you could:
Console --(3 core DMX cable)--> CG-DMX-512 --(Serial cable)--> Crestron processor/ISC symbol/Logic --Cresnet--> CLX lighting

It may be more low-brow compared to Artnet, but it "feels" a lot simpler to implement?

I think you need to gather some more information on the console and how it is communicating – i understand that?s already there and you “just” need to interface with it?

Ollie, I think that this looks like the right solution, thanks!
The Console has ethernet jacks but I don't think that they integrate with its DMX controls so a traditional XLR-type connection would likely be the right stuff.
Do you or any others know of a good module for this application, or should I just get the protocol and figure out the handful of commands/FB that I need??

TIA!

The DIN-SACN-DMX is actually a Enttec DIN-ODE-MK2.

DIN-SACN-DMX (AKA Enttec DIN-ETHERGATE) set sACN or Art-Net output to match the corresponding universe output of the Console -> CG-DMX-512, etc, etc, etc...
