A compact four-port Pathport that runs on PoE - Now Shipping

 

Pathport Quattro

 

Replaces R-Series 2-port nodes.  Four ports for less than twice the price.  Same compact size - two units fit side-by-side in 1RU of space.  PoE operation makes it an ideal choice for truss mount operation.  Uses the same encoder/front panel LCD interface as the Octo - most users won't need a computer to configure it.

Note on Front Connector Kits

The use of the front connector kit with a Quattro requires the full width of 1RU of rack space (so it is not possible to have two Quattros side-by-side and use the adaptor kit).  The adaptor kit is typically used with the 6312 model. 

 

The Ethernet connector can also be brought to the front panel. Add the -RJ extension to the part number.  For example, a 6942-RJ is a four DMX output plus RJ45 Ethernet jack.

 

 Operational note when using ArtNet or Shownet:

 

The ArtNet protocol is explicitly sent to a broadcast address, typically 2.255.255.255 or 10.255.255.255.  The Quattro must have its subnet mask set wide enough to include this broadcast address.  When using ArtNet, a Class A subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 is recommended to ensure DMX output.


Shownet is explicitly sent to 192.168.1.255.  On a Shownet system, a Quattro should use an IP of 192.168.1.x and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
