Gateway8 port as an input?


Harvey John

Recommended Posts

We have an installation witha Gateway8 and using Visual Productions B-Station2 and Kiosk on an IPad to control our DMX lighting over Art-Net. We would like to add an Obey40 desk which is DMX out. We cannot see if it is possible to configure one of the Gateway8 ports to be input rather tha output so a user could use the desk rather than B-Station or Kiosk. Some Art-Net gateaway products seem to have this facility.

Hi @Harvey John

Welcome to the forum.

This is not possible. The DMX output ports on Gateway 8 are outputs only, meaning Gateway 8 can only convert Ethernet DMX back to physical DMX. Physical DMX cannot be converted to Ethernet DMX using Gateway 8.

Please let us know if you have any questions.
