Acue Lighting Art-Node 2 — 2-Universe ArtNet to DMX Converter
Art-Node 2 Overview
The Acue Lighting Art-Node 2 is a professional 2-universe Art-Net decoder engineered for lighting system integrators, touring production companies, and fixed installation venues requiring reliable Ethernet-to-DMX conversion. The unit supports 2 independent DMX universes totaling 1024 DMX channels, distributed across two 3-pin DMX output ports with dedicated LED indicators for power, data, and output status. Network connectivity is handled through a 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 EtherCon port with Auto MDI/MDIX, DHCP, and static IP support. Protocol compatibility spans ArtNet, sACN, and KlingNet, including multiple KlingNet color modes, making the Art-Node 2 a versatile node for a wide range of control environments.
Each DMX port supports both HTP and LTP merge modes, and the unit ships with a power adapter. Online firmware updates ensure the node can be maintained and expanded without hardware replacement.
