Pathport Quattro Now Shipping

Pathway Connectivity, an Acuity Brands company, introduces the newest Pathport DMX-over-Ethernet solution, the Pathport Quattro.

A compact, four-port node, the Quattro runs on Power-over-Ethernet, making it suitable for truss, wall, or desktop installation, as well as 19" rack mounting. The Quattro supports all standard DMX-over-Ethernet protocols, including E1.31 streaming ACN, Strand Shownet, Art-Net, and Pathport Protocol. It also provides an E1.20 Remote Device Management interface, for integral use on the latest entertainment lighting systems. A simple but comprehensive front panel menu makes commissioning easy, the company says. Advanced features, such as signal loss behavior, can be set with the cross-platform configuration software, Pathport Manager, a free download from the Pathway website.

"The Quattro rounds out what is now the most complete and powerful line of DMX-over-Ethernet distribution equipment available," states Dave Higgins, vice president and value stream Leader. "With our ability to customize the data connectors, the Quattro can easily be retro-fitted into an existing network or be the cornerstone of a new installation."

The Quattro, as well as other Pathway products, will be exhibited at the LDI 2011 Trade Show and Conference at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, October 28-30, 2011, Booth #1257.
