Artistic Licence daliGate quad

daliGate quad seamlessly integrates DALI with Art-Net/DMX/RDM. In practice, it enables any Art-Net enabled console to control DALI fixtures alongside DMX/RDM infrastructure. No need for proprietary technology or specialist engineers! daliGate quad is a DIN rail product with Art-Net/sACN input and four DALI outputs. It can be used in two distinct ways – streaming and command – which are described in detail below.

daliGate quad is an ethernet-to-DALI interface providing four DALI circuits. It supports Art-Net 4 and sACN.

Configuration is via the internal web-browser or DMX-Workshop (free-of-charge software available from Artistic Licence). DHCP enables automatic IP addressing; static IP and LLRP negotiation are also supported.

All four DALI circuits are individually optically isolated. The DALI circuits each require a DALI Bus PSU. An example of this is Artistic Licence daliPSU quad.

A factory reset switch enables the default settings to be restored – simply hold down and cycle the power. Alternatively, a single press of this button sends a ‘squawk’ message over the network to the console. This enables easy physical location of the gateway.

The product is powered by PoE or an external DC power supply (we recommend DIN Rail PSU - 24-2.5).

Operation

daliGate quad can be used in two distinct ways, both of which are ground-breaking:

Mode 1: Streaming

This mode is useful for any application where both DMX and DALI are needed.

Use daliGate quad with an Art-Net capable lighting desk to directly control DALI gear alongside DMX fixtures.

All DALI back channel data (such as lamp failure, product capability) is converted to RDM and returned over Art-Net so that the lighting desk can view and change the settings.

Broadcast, group and channel addressing can be used at same time to increase flexibility.

daliGate quad has a data capture system built in, allowing it to be used as a test and analysis tool in combination with DMX-Workshop (our free software package).

Mode 2: Scene

This mode is useful for applications that require remote control of scenes, such as corporate foyers or meeting rooms, retail, high-end residential, schools, museums and visitor centres.
