Output options for Nomad

A small community theater I sometimes work for purchased Nomad 256 to replace its chauvet lighting console. What they didn't realize is that they need some sort of output to DMX.

Are there any low budget output options for nomad?

They were looking at something like this: http://smile.amazon.com/TecNec-DMX-3XF-CAT5-3-pin-Female-Adapter/dp/B00KUTZW3Q/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1426463891&sr=8-4&keywords=ethernet+to+dmx  but I'm not confident it would work because there is no ip address... any suggestions under $100 would be appreciated.

Thanks!

  • Only just over your budget, there is a superb little box available online, which is an artnet/sACN to DMX converter. The only slight disadvantage is that it's an installation product, which can mount on a DIN rail and has terminals, rather than XLR connections. It's a fantastic product, though - I've had four running in different circumstances so far, including one that's on 24/7, with no problems from any of them.

    Here's the link (note: I'm in no way affiliated with the maker of these boxes, simply impressed with the product for its price) - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DMX-512-controller-Art-Net-E1-31-ACN-six-output-input-ports-ArtNet-Ethernet-/321556994192?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ade4a5890

  • Thank you very much.

    I will look into this. Being an instillation product doesn't matter to me that much, I could just mount it in a small case and put strain relief's on the cables going in.

    One question: Are you currently using these with Nomad or other ETC PC variants?

    Thanks again!
  • I've used them with Nomad on PC and Mac for quite some time now - I bought the first one in September 2013 (before Nomad was released) which is installed in a venue; two bought in August last year for touring. There's no reason why these boxes won't work with any ETC show control product.

    Hope that helps!
