KNX DMX GATEWAY 544 KNX gateway to DMX512

The KNX DMX Gateway 544 is a compact gateway between KNX and DMX512 with up to 64 freely configurable channels. DMX is a protocol for lighting control, especially in stage technology.

In the Master operating mode, the device allows convenient control of DMX luminaires, for example, with KNX pushbuttons. Up to 64 dimming channels or up to 8 RGB/RGBW channels are available. Several subsets of DMX512 addresses can be assigned to each channel. The dimming channels allow switching/rel./abs. Dimming of one or more DMX devices via KNX. The RGB/RGBW channels allow the control of RGB/RGBW capable DMX devices. Thus each RGB color and each HSV attribute can be controlled individually via KNX. Each channel can be linked to up to 8 scenes. In addition, 4 sequencers are available in the gateway to perform more complex tasks.

In Slave mode, KNX actuators can be controlled from DMX. For example, the room lighting that is part of the KNX installation can be controlled by a DMX lighting control panel. Up to 64 DMX512 addresses can be evaluated individually and sent on KNX. Dimming value, switching with switching threshold and RGB value are available as interpretation.
