Gateways
Ion is part of a fully networked system capable of direct output of both ETCNet2 and Net3.
Gateways can be configured to listen to either ETCNet2 or Net3 and provide interface to devices in
the lighting system that do not accept network communication directly. Gateways are provided for
DMX/RDM output, show control input and output and analog input and output.
• Net3 to DMX/RDM gateways are provided with a maximum of four outputs, which can be
male, female, or terminal strip.
• Show Control Gateway supports MIDI In/Thru and Out and SMPTE In.
• I/O Gateway supports 24 analog inputs, 16 SPDT contact closure outputs, and RS-232 serial
protocol.
N o t e : Net3 Gateways only support RDM when in Net3 mode.
