The GigaJet 20 Pro is a versatile and intelligent Ethernet-to-DMX converter that integrates merging and data backup functionality to provide reliable control for DMX512-based lighting systems. Purpose-built for professional lighting networks, it combines multiple signal processing capabilities in one compact, rack-mounted unit. The converter supports a wide range of industry-standard protocols including DMX512, RDM (ANSI E1.20), Art-Net (versions 1 through 4), sACN (Draft and Release), KiNet (v1 and v2), and RTTrPL, allowing seamless interoperability within complex lighting control environments.
Power flexibility is a core strength of the GigaJet 20 Pro. It can draw power redundantly either from standard 110–250 V AC mains or through Power over Ethernet (PoE) in compliance with the IEEE 802.3af standard. This ensures uninterrupted operation even in the event of a power source failure. The unit incorporates an integrated two-port 10/100/1000 Mbps gigabit Ethernet switch and a media converter via the SFP module, allowing easy connection of additional network devices. It provides four pass-through TRUE DMX ports for communication and includes dual trigger inputs for emergency events or external control signals.
Configuration of the device is highly accessible and flexible. Users can adjust settings through a built-in web interface, the ArtGate Setting utility, third-party software compatible with the Art-Net protocol, or through ARISTO control software. The front panel includes LED indicators for DMX, Ethernet, and SFP connection status, giving clear visual feedback of operating modes.
Housed in a 2U rack-mount form factor with an IP20 protection rating, the GigaJet 20 Pro is built for professional installation environments. Its metal chassis measures 482.6 mm in length, 88.1 mm in height, and 125.6 mm in width, weighing approximately 1.5 kg. The unit’s shallow depth allows easy integration into compact racks while maintaining effective free cooling without the use of fans or vent holes. Power is supplied through a powerCON TRUE1 connector for reliable connections in demanding setups.
The GigaJet 20 Pro’s multiport architecture enables up to twenty optically isolated DMX ports, combining the functions of a gigabit Ethernet switch, fiber media converter, and Art-Net/sACN to DMX converter in one cohesive system. It supports various merging modes such as HTP, LTP, AUTO, and PRIORITY, as well as RDM protocol filtering (ANSI E1.20) and profile saving for quick configuration recall. Its galvanically isolated DMX ports provide protection and signal integrity across all connected devices, while fixed IP access simplifies remote configuration and system management.
Electrically, the device operates on 100–250 V AC at 50/60 Hz or via PoE, with a maximum power consumption of only 5 W. It maintains stable performance even under voltages up to 305 V, ensuring reliability in varying electrical conditions. The operating temperature range spans 0°C to +60°C, with storage tolerance from –50°C to +70°C and up to 95% relative humidity. Certified for CE and RoHS compliance, the GigaJet 20 Pro carries a 36-month warranty for long-term dependability.
In terms of connectivity, the unit provides 20 DMX outputs, using 4 male and 20 female 5-pin XLR connectors, alongside three gigabit Ethernet ports (10/100/1000 Base-TX, PoE-enabled) with RJ-45 or etherCON connections. One SFP slot supports fiber-optic communication, while terminal block trigger connectors handle external inputs for event control or alarms. The DMX data refresh rate reaches 44 Hz, ensuring responsive communication across all channels.
Altogether, the GigaJet 20 Pro stands as a powerful, rack-mountable multiport signal processing unit that combines Ethernet networking, DMX conversion, and data redundancy into a single, professional-grade device. It delivers dependable performance, flexible configuration, and seamless protocol integration for complex lighting control systems in entertainment, architectural, and broadcast applications.
