Introduction
XND-8 is a user-friendly Art-Net and sACN to DMX converter supporting the distribution of eight universes of DMX
via eight individually optically isolated DMX outputs. Since most major lighting consoles are capable of transmitting
Art-Net data, XND-8 is all you need to take advantage of your console’s networking capability, allowing you to
transmit a vast number of universes over one single network cable. In some cases, users may profit from already
existing networking infrastructure.
Further, the XND-8 is also perfectly suited to send DMX data to your fixtures from a computer or even from a mobile
device. Many light controller programs for PC or Mac support Art-Net output natively and with the help of XND-8’s
DHCP capability, you can even let your workplace network infrastructure do the network configuration of your XND-
8 automatically for you.
With its 128x64 pixels OLED display however, configuring the network and setting up your Art-Net or sACN
preferences manually is no trouble at all and helpful status information is always at hand.
