Showgear - NET-2/3 Pocket

In a network-controlled lighting infrastructure, reliable conversion between Ethernet and DMX protocols remains an essential link. The Showgear NET-2/3 Pocket responds precisely to this need, with its compact format and direct implementation in the field. This node enables Art-Net or sACN streams to be converted to DMX512, and vice versa, while providing seamless management of two universes.

Integration into an existing system is straightforward. Support for IEEE 802.3af PoE means that the fixture can be powered directly via the network cable, eliminating the need to add a local power supply where the infrastructure allows. This approach greatly simplifies cabling in racks or fixed installations.

Configuration can be carried out locally via the OLED screen and front-panel controls, or remotely via a web browser. This network interface enables parameters to be adjusted quickly from a control station, which is very practical when deploying a service or permanent installation. The NET-2/3 Pocket accepts up to 1,024 channels on a single Ethernet link, effectively covering a wide range of lighting configurations.

Its compact metal and plastic casing makes it easy to integrate in a control room, rack or structure. With its LED status indicators and extensive Art-Net, sACN and RDM compatibility, this node is a reliable tool for lighting technicians wishing to distribute or retrieve DMX via the network with rapid implementation.
