Functional Features
Bi-directional eDMX Protocols and USITT DMX512-A Conversion
The ODE MK3’s primary functionality is to convert between Ethernet-DMX protocols and USITT DMX512-A
(DMX). The ODE MK3 can support eDMX protocols including Art-Net, sACN and ESP which can be received
and converted to DMX with the HTP or LTP Merging options, or DMX converted to eDMX protocols with the
options to Unicast or Broadcast/Multicast.
Art-Net <-> DMX (RDM Supported): Art-Net 1, 2, 3 & 4 are supported. Each port’s configuration can be defined
using the ODE MK3’s web interface to define a universe in the range 0 to 32767.
RDM (ANSI E1.20) is supported whilst the ODE MK3’s
conversion ‘Type’ is set to Output (DMX Out) and the
Protocol is set to Art-Net. When this is the case, a
check box appears which will need to be ticked to
enable RDM. This will convert Art-RDM to RDM (
ANSI E1.20) to use the ODE MK3 as a gateway to discover,
configure and monitor RDM capable devices on the DMX line connected to the port.
ENTTEC recommends disabling RDM if your fixtures do not require it. Some older fixtures that support the
DMX 1990 Specification can sometimes behave erratically when RDM packets are on the DMX line.
The ODE MK3 does not support remote configuration through Art-Net.
sACN <-> DMX: sACN is supported. Each port’s configuration can be defined using the ODE MK3’s web
interface to define a universe in the range 0 to 63999. sACN priority of the output can be defined (default
priority: 100). The ODE MK3 supports a maximum of 1 multicast universe with sACN sync. (i.e. both universe
outputs set to the same universe).
ESP <-> DMX: ESP is supported. Each port’s configuration can be defined using the ODE MK3’s web interface
to define a universe in the range 0 to 255.
The additional flexibility that the ODE MK3 can provide, means that each of the two ports can be configured
individually:
Both outputs can be specified to use the same universe and protocol, i.e., both outputs can be set to
output use universe 1.
Each output is not required to be sequential i.e. port one can be set to universe 10, port two can be set
to input universe 3.
Protocol or data conversion direction doesn’t have to be the same for each port.
