About Pathport QUATTRO

 

Pathway  Connectivity’s  Pathport®  QUATTRO  is  a  four-port  DMX-over-Ethernet 
gateway  intended  for  use  primarily  in  entertainment  lighting  systems.  The 
QUATTRO provides transparent transmission and receipt of the DMX512 lighting 
control standard, using a number of widely accepted protocols, across a standard 
Ethernet data network. 

The  QUATTRO  may  be  used  alone,  networked  with  other  QUATTROs  and 
Pathport  gateways,  as  well  as  with  a  number  of  other  Ethernet-aware  lighting 
control products, such as consoles and controllers.  

The QUATTRO, like all Pathports, is a routing device and does not provide control 
over the protocols or the data being passed. It only provides control over the path 
the data takes, how multiple DMX sources are treated (merged or prioritized), and 
certain other routing characteristics including DMX transmission speed and signal 
loss behavior. 

Installation Instructions

 

The Pathport QUATTRO is intended for desktop use, or for mounting in a standard 
19” equipment rack, using the included rack ears.
