ArtGATE Guard

Bidirectional DMX/Ethernet converter with four optically isolated DMX ports, integrated 2-port Ethernet switch, PoE support, and full RDM functionality

ArtGATE Guard is a professional-grade Ethernet-to-DMX interface designed for permanent indoor and protected outdoor use. Combining a DMX splitter, booster, and intelligent merger in one unit, it enables seamless signal distribution in complex lighting networks.

With four fully configurable DMX ports, the device allows any port to operate as input or output. All ports are galvanically isolated, providing strong protection against electrical interference. The integrated 2-port Ethernet switch (RJ45 EtherCON) supports daisy-chaining and simplifies cabling in rack or wall-mounted installations.

ArtGATE Guard supports a full range o

4 optically isolated DMX512 ports, individually configurable as input or output

Dual RJ45 EtherCON Ethernet ports with built-in 10/100 Mbps switch

Supports ArtNet (1–4), sACN (draft/release), KiNet (v1, v2), RTTrPL

Full RDM (E1.20) support as controller and responder

Multiple merging modes: HTP, LTP, Auto, Priority
