Overview

The CR041R MK II is a 4-port Art-Net/sACN to DMX512 converter designed for professional lighting control. Each port supports bidirectional conversion with HTP/LTP merge modes, enabling seamless integration across complex setups. It features a 1.8” color screen with a button-based menu, allowing for standalone configuration without a PC. Choose from three power options: AC (PowerCON), USB-C, or PoE. Its rugged metal housing and truss-mount compatibility make it perfect for stage, touring, and fixed installations.

Triple Power Options

1. PoE (Power over Ethernet) via the RJ45 port for streamlined single-cable setups;
2. DC 5V Power Input through a Type-C connector—ideal for portable setups or testing environments;
3. AC mains input through a rugged powerCON connector (90–240V, 50/60Hz) for stable, long-term installations. Whether you’re on tour, in a studio, or mounting to a truss, this device adapts to your workflow without the need for additional converters or adapters.

Four Status Indicators

• POWER Indicator: White light on when the device is powered.

• LINK Indicator: Orange light on when the device is connected to a network.

• ACTION Indicator: Orange light on when the device is receiving network data.

• STA Indicator:Blue light blinks to indicate the device is running normally.

Note：If ACTION is lit but DMX is not, the signal received is not ArtNet and cannot be processed.

Flexible IP Setup

Choose from 2.x.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 192.168.1.x (auto), or DHCP. Quickly switch or set static IP addresses directly from the onboard menu—no PC required.

Factory Reset Operation

​Select Factory Set > YES, then hold Enter for 2–3 seconds until Setting flashes—reset complete.​

Multiple Mounting Options

M10 side holes allow secure horizontal or vertical hook mounting on trusses—also supports DIN rail installation (rack setups not supported).

Durable & Secure Build

All-metal housing ensures durability, while the locking etherCON connector secures stable, vibration-proof network connections for live events.

• Q1: Can each DMX port be configured as Input or Output?

  A1: Yes, all four DMX ports on the CR041R MK II are individually configurable as either Input or Output. You can easily switch directions via the onboard menu to match various lighting system setups.

• Q2: What protocols are supported?

  A2: The unit supports Art-Net and sACN. It also offers sACN Multicast support and Priority Handling, ensuring seamless integration with professional lighting networks.

• Q3: How is the device powered?

  A3: The CR041R MK II offers three flexible power options:

  • AC Power via PowerCON input (90–240V)

  • DC 5V via USB-C, ideal for portable or testing scenarios

  • PoE (IEEE 802.3af) via RJ45 for power and data over a single cable

• Q4: What is the benefit of sACN Multicast and Priority support?

  A4: sACN Multicast delivers DMX to multiple receivers efficiently.

  Priority support enables smooth console switchover based on set priority levels.

• Q5: How do I save my settings?

  A5:After adjusting a setting, press and hold the Enter key for about 2–3 seconds. When the menu title begins to flash, the setting has been successfully saved.

• sACN multicast and priority supported ：Supports Art-Net and sACN protocols. Enables sACN multicast and priority control for smooth integration in multi-source lighting systems.
• Triple Power Options – AC, USB-C, PoE：Power it anywhere via PowerCON AC mains (90–240V), 5V USB-C, or IEEE 802.3af PoE—ideal for mobile rigs, touring setups, and fixed installations.
• Intuitive Onboard Menu with Color Screen：Features a 1.8” color TFT display and four-button interface for standalone configuration, universe mapping, and signal status monitoring—no PC required.
• Versatile Mounting Options：Supports truss, wall, or flat-surface installation—mountable horizontally or vertically for flexible deployment in any lighting setup.
• Bidirectional Protocol Conversion：Each port supports both DMX input and output. Easily switch between Art-Net/sACN to DMX512 or DMX512 to network—ideal for flexible lighting control workflows.
• Compact Housing with Lockable RJ45：Rugged metal enclosure with compact form factor ensures durability. Lockable RJ45 (etherCON) provides secure data connection for live shows and installations.
