Overview
The LSC NEXEN R4 is a four port Ethernet to DMX/RDM gateway in a 1RU half width chassis. All four outputs are on female XLR5, each port can be set as an input or output, and a colour LCD touchscreen on the front shows setup and status at a glance. It converts Art-Net, sACN and ArtRDM with full isolation on every port.
Two gigabit ethercon ports, one on the front and one on the rear, let you daisy chain up to three units. Power comes from mains through a powerCON TRUE1 in and thru, or from PoE. It ships with rack ears and a full width adapter bracket, so it suits dimmer rooms, FOH racks, touring racks and hire.

Forefront Tip
Use the second gigabit port to daisy chain the R4 to another NEXEN at the other side of the stage instead of running a second home run to the switch. The TRUE1 thru also lets you feed mains to the next device in the rack without a power board.
