About the Crestron DIN-DMX-2UNIVERSE
The Pharos engine runs individually controllable timelines and scenes, so precise, fully customisable lighting displays can be built and played back, with flexible multizone control. It drives LEDs in any colour configuration (RGB, RGBW, 8-bit, 16-bit and tuneable white), moving heads, yokes and scanners, fountain jets, and generic downlights, spotlights and uplights through controllable dimmers, relays or ballasts. A cloud library offers over 13,000 fixture profiles.
Output is two DMX512 ports (USITT E1.11-2008, up to 1,024 channels), with RDM discovery and addressing via Designer software. Over Ethernet it supports sACN (E1.31), Art-Net, KiNET and Pathport, and several protocols can run at once, limited by patched channels rather than universes used. DALI is available through the RIO D, supplied separately, and up to 40 Pharos controllers can be synchronised over the network.
Playback starts automatically when power is applied. It can be triggered by contact closures, digital and analogue inputs, a battery-backed real-time clock with astronomical events, Ethernet messages, RS-232 or RS-485 serial data, MIDI, and DMX or eDMX changes. Power is 9 to 48 VDC or PoE (IEEE 802.3af), 4 W typical. The unit is 8 modules wide on a 35 mm DIN rail and comes with a removable SD card.

Which output protocols does it support?
It has two DMX512 ports (USITT E1.11-2008) for up to 1,024 channels, with RDM discovery and addressing via Designer software. Network outputs include sACN (USITT E1.31), Art-Net, KiNET and Pathport, and multiple protocols can run at the same time. DALI is available through the RIO D, supplied separately.
How is playback triggered?
Playback starts automatically when the controller receives power. Shows can also be triggered by contact closures, digital and analogue inputs, the battery-backed real-time clock and astronomical events such as sunrise and sunset, Ethernet messages, RS-232 or RS-485 serial data, MIDI, and changes in DMX or eDMX input.
How is the DIN-DMX-2UNIVERSE powered and mounted?
It runs on 9 to 48 VDC or PoE (IEEE 802.3af) and draws 4 W typical. The unit mounts in an 8 unit wide DIN rail enclosure on a 35 mm rail and measures 90 mm high, 144 mm wide and 58 mm deep. A removable SD card is supplied for data storage.
How much is the Crestron DIN-DMX-2UNIVERSE?
Crestron asks its dealers to give the price of the DIN-DMX-2UNIVERSE directly rather than publish it online. Add it to your quote list and we will send you a written quote, with delivery, and installation and programming if you need them.
Can 1Install supply, install and programme the DIN-DMX-2UNIVERSE?
Yes. 1Install is an authorised Crestron Elite Partner with offices in Skerries, Co. Dublin and Cork. We can supply the DIN-DMX-2UNIVERSE on its own, or install, set up and programme it as part of your system. Installation visits are €440 for 4 hours or €880 for a full day, plus VAT and travel.

Is the DIN-DMX-2UNIVERSE in stock?
We order Crestron for each quote, so availability depends on Crestron's stock at the time. We check it before we quote and put the expected delivery date on your quote, so you know where you stand before you pay.
Can I buy the DIN-DMX-2UNIVERSE without installation?
Yes. We supply Crestron to end users, with or without installation. Like most Crestron devices of this type, it needs setting up or programming before it works in a system, and we can quote for that too.
