ArtGATE Guard
Bidirectional DMX/Ethernet converter with four optically isolated DMX ports, integrated 2-port Ethernet switch, PoE support, and full RDM functionality
ArtGATE Guard operates as a bidirectional converter between Ethernet-based lighting networks (ArtNet, sACN) and DMX512 lighting control systems.
It supports DMX512, ArtNet (1–4), sACN (Draft/Release), KiNet (v1/v2), and RTTrPL, enabling flexible combinations of signal transmission and reception across the network.
The device can be powered redundantly — either via 100–315 V AC mains through a Neutrik PowerCON TRUE1 connector or via PoE (Power over Ethernet, IEEE 802.3af standard).
Configuration is available through the built-in web interface or compatible third-party ArtNet software.
ArtGATE Guard is designed
Minimal load time and fast recovery — thanks to an integrated microcontroller, the device restores operation within 1–2 seconds after a short power loss .
Master IP that never gets lost — stable network identity under any reboot or connection scenario.
Natural heat convection — fanless design without ventilation slots ensures complete protection against dust and smoke, extending product lifespan.
Maximum surge protection — optimized power system for voltages from 100 to 315 V AC.
Full galvanic isolation on all DMX ports for complete electrical safety.
Configurable DMX port address for flexible network integration.
