ODE Mk3

The ENTTEC ODE Mk3 is a robust, installation-grade 2-universe bi-directional Ethernet to DMX/RDM converter with PoE or 12–24V DC input, supporting Art-Net, sACN, and ESP protocols in a compact portable form factor.

From the Manufacturer

The ODE Mk3 is ENTTEC's latest evolution of their trusted bi-directional DMX-Ethernet interface, engineered to connect DMX fixtures to Ethernet network infrastructure with minimal setup. Supporting 2 universes of bi-directional eDMX to DMX512-A conversion with Art-RDM (ANSI E1.20) support, the ODE Mk3 is compatible with a wide range of devices and allows for fast deployment of DMX systems. It converts in both directions across all supported protocols: Art-Net to/from DMX, sACN to/from DMX, and ESP to/from DMX — with broadcast, unicast, and multicast options where applicable.

All configuration and firmware updates are managed through a localhost web interface accessible from any computer on the network, with a 'Current Port Buffer' for live DMX value monitoring and troubleshooting on site. ArtSync support ensures fully synchronized Art-Net data across the installation when receiving from the same source. Power is supplied via IEEE 802.3af PoE or 12–24V DC input, and the device is ready to operate within seconds of receiving power. Purchase includes a 6-month premium ENTTEC EMU software license.
