LNX-378 Functions

• Support ArtNet4 protocol with 32 domains，support any lighting control software or console with ArtNet function on the market, such as MADRIX, FreeStyler, MA2, Jinx, MadMapper, Pharos, PixelInvadors, DMXControl2/3, MagincQ. And support to record it.

• Support sACN (E1.31) protocol，LNX-378 can switch to the these two different protocols to intercooprate with different console.

• Support KNX (KNXnet/IP) protocol，the device supports KNXnet/IP protocol, can be connected to the KNX IP bus via Ethernet media, and import the device catalog via ETS5, configure it and download applications, and add the device to the KNX control bus network , Dimming the fixture or calling pre-recorded lighting effect files through the group objects of the KNX network.

• 8 fixture drive ports， each port can be configured with 1-4 Universe, each universe has DMX512 channels, so the LNX-378 series controller can support up to 16384 DMX channels! Calculated according to RGB pixels, 5440 pixels points can be controlled at most! LNX-378 has two different interfaces: DMX512 and TTL. Please confirm when placing an order. (The controller with the suffix T is TTL interface, the controller with suffix D is DMX interface, and all DMX512 interfaces are magnetic isolation interfaces.)

• SD card recording and playback，LNX-378 series LED controller can easily record Console or MADRIX and other ArtNet software's data (full scene recording, including local and other device's data can be recorded), then offline playback.

• Use PC for high-speed recording，In addition to using LNX-378 to record ArtNet online, you can also choose to use LINETX's LnxEffect software to record ArtNet data at high speed using the NIC on the computer, Upload the recorded file to the SD card of the LNX-378 device.

• Editing, previewing, uploading and downloading of recording files，The LNX-378 can configure the device through the LnxManager software developed by LINETX Technology, and search all online devices on the network, which is convenient and fast to upload and download SD recording files through the network. Then you can use LINETX’s LnxEffect to preview and edit the recorded file, and define the frame in point and frame out point of the recorded file.

• The device can be master and slave.，When the LNX-378 is in SD run mode, it can be used as the master device to drive other LED slave devices through the network; in addition, it can also be used as an ArtNet slave device to receive ArtNet/sACN data to drive fixture.

• 200FPS high frame rate to playback，LNX-378 uses 16G high-speed Mini SD card, 1-200FPS wide frame rate playback speed is adjustable.

• Support UDP and RS485 control interface，LNX-378 support UDP control interface, and R series support RS485 control interface. By sending a ASCII format control command to the device, the device will be remotely controlled.

• Support the DMX control function using console， The E series LNX-378 supports the use of the DMX512 channel value sended by console to quickly switch the playback of the device's SD card file, adjust the playback speed, adjust the brightness and other parameters. This function is disabled by default, it can be enabled in the WEB.

• Convert DMX to ArtNet，LNX-378 supports ArtNet server mode, which can convert DMX512 into ArtNet and send it out through the network. This mode can be used for 3D lighting simulation software such as WYSIWYG, Easy View 3D, LightingStudio, etc. In addition, fiber optic transceivers can also be used to transmit DMX512 signals over long distances through optical fibers.

• Supports music rhythm and lighting synchronization，device has a 3.5MM audio interface and a built-in microphone(M series). All LNX-378 have music synchronization function. LNX-378 receive audio music signal in real time, analyze the rhythm points of the music, and trigger to switch SD files at rhythm points, or trigger to adjustment brightness and Speed etc.

• Support RDM，The D series LNX-378 support RDM. All 8 ports of DMX512 support RDM (Remote Device Management) protocol. In the WEB, you can search for all fixture that support RDM and display them in a list, It is convenient to set parameters for each fixture.

• Support RDM Over ArtNet，this advanced feature allows you using ArtNet to search and set RDM fixtures directly on the host side.

• Support Gamma correction,The TTL interface of the LNX-378 supports Gamma correction algorithm. Gamma correction can be actived in the WEB to make the colors more realistic.

• High-speed self-synchronization frame control，LNX-378 high-speed self-synchronization frame control algorithm can synchronous output to drive after receiving data from all ports in a frame. Effectively prevent the jaggedness and fragmentation of the view.

• TTL supports custom chips timing，The TTL interface of LNX-378 has support to drive many chips, such as WS2811, WS2812, SM16703, TM1903, GS1903, etc., if there is no optional chip in the list, You can also customize the chip timing to support new chip.

• Supports scheduled playback，In the WEB, one or more playback schedules can be created, and can specify which file to play on which day, day of the week, It can also be set to play automatically

• Supports multi-device network synchronization playback, Numbers of LNX-378 can be set as the network synchronization play master device. When the one master to plays SD, it will notify all other master to play synchronously.

• Support multi-device GPS synchronous playback.，The G series of LNX-378 supports Beidou satellite and GPS satellite. After time calibration by GPS satellite, all LNX-378 can be accurately synchronized to same time.

• Intelligent idle blackfield, when LNX-378 detects that there is no ArtNet data, the idle blackfield will be actived, and each port automatically sends blackfield data.

• Built-in switch with dual network ports，LNX-378 LED controller has two Ethernet ports, and each controller can be connected hand by hand

• Support Projcet Lock，LNX-378 supports Projcet lock, After it actived. when the device exceeds the use time, it will be locked and the password must be provided to unlock it before it can continue to be used
