Like anything else, you get what you pay for. Enttec is a very inexpensive solution for being able to output or input DMX via UDP ethernet. I've heard nothing but good things about the datagates and Catalyst/pixelmad.
They are available mostly within 1 day for shipping and they work. Any word on how the single kits work? I was thinking of buying the $70 kit to see if it would work as an input device.

A guy created a linux distribution which has his own version on it. It is made buy a guy at nomis52.net. It is under the projects and it is called LLA. It will take anything like artnet, sandnet, espnet and shownet and translate them back and forth with the addition of using either a single enttec usb open dmx (output only) or 4 usb pros input or output. I have played with it a little bit, but I could not get it to input to catalyst or output from catalyst. I don't have an acutal server, I was just playing with it on my mac book pro (in demo mode) and ran the LLA off of another pc I have. The cat would see it, but wouldn't show up as an input or an output.. probably because I don't know how to really use artnet yet and don't quite understand the ip scheming. The software is stable and in all of my playing with it, it hasn't froze or messed up. you can either configure it using the command prompt or it has a little web interface built in.

set you ip address to begin with 2. e.g. 2.5.4.3Originally Posted by ryanww
Make sure your Gateway is set to 255.255.0.0 if that doesn't work try 255.255.255.0

Ok, I will try that. I have tried multiple ways but still was unsuccessful. I will try that today. I do not believe I tried that one though. I used a 10. router with a mask of 255.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.0 and neither worked. I will keep trying though when I get the chance. Thanks, Ryan

is there a configuration menu to select 2.x.x.x or 10.x.x.x on the datagate?
whatever you do - you need to have the mac and the datagate both on the same - either 2.x.x.x or 10.x.x.x

I have used datagate in a new installation , some problems appear using all 8 universes with same ip , I just upgrade it to last firmware & use NMU application to configure datagate, problem solved. NMU have a couple of tips , in mac version channels setting appear as "2" when in fact "512", in windows version that´s ok.
