LUMINODE 8-IP
IP65-rated Ethernet/DMX processor for converting, routing, and merging DMX/RDM data on a network.

Made for any outdoor event
LumiNode 8-IP is designed with an IP65 rated, all metal, robust enclosure,withstanding extreme temperature conditions, making it an ideal solution for outdoor AV installs and live performances. Equipped with 2x 1Gb etherCON TOP ports and 8 DMX/RDM ports with NC5FDXX-TOP connectors, LumiNode 8-IP offers flexibility in a weather proof package. Each port is fully optically and galvanically isolated and can be configured as an in- or output.
All relevant industry standard protocols such as Art-Net, sACN, KiNET, RTTrPL (Blacktrax) are supported and can be processed and converted in no less than 12 onboard process engines supporting HTP, LTP, Crossfade, Backup, Switch and Custom merging modes with soft patch functionality.
Smart management with Araneo app & NFC
LumiNode 8-IP can be managed using any NFC-compatible smart device. With the Araneo app (available on the App Store and Play Store), you can easily read the switch’s status, Groups (VLANs), port settings, and more—simply by tapping your phone.
Configuration settings can be conveniently adjusted within the app and stored back on the LumiNode 8-IP, even when the unit is not powered on!
Industry protocols
All relevant industry-standard protocols such as Art-Net, sACN, KiNET, RTTrPL (Blacktrax) are supported.
The LumiNode family is fully DMX/RDM compatible. LumiNet Monitor and other third party RDM software or lighting consoles (supporting ArtNet RDM) can make use of the full RDM functionality.
Intuitive UI
The built-in web UI delivers a great user experience. Process engines can be easily configured in a very intuitive workflow. Just decide what you like to do with your lighting data by choosing the mode of the process engine.
Depending on the chosen merging/routing policy of the engine, the UI presents all possible input configurations. From here you just connect your input streams and your output connections. Everything can be easily stored and recalled into profiles for later usage.
Advanced networking
Use the full capacity of the Gigabit connectivity by sending different data in a different Group (VLAN). Setup a separate interface for IT monitoring without interfering with critical lighting data. The known Group (VLAN) technology from GigaCore switches is also available in the LumiNode product family.
This allows you to freely assign a different Group (VLAN) to the different network connectors and to the node’s interfaces. ISL (Inter Switch Link) and custom trunks are available to transfer different VLANs on one ethernet connection.
Integration with web API
LumiNode features a fully documented web API, making the unit ideal for integration and automation in installation projects.
All configuration or manipulation (like recalling profiles, configuring engines, triggering play,…) can be done via web API (REST/JSON). Offering the maximum flexibility to integrate with any other hardware or software to control your infrastructure.



Build for today,
designed for tomorrow
Today
LuminNode product family is built for today's connectivity needs, like converting network protocols to DMX/RDM outputs meanwhile merging and routing different sources together.
Today's converters limitations are the amount of DMX connectors on the unit and what you like to do with these. LumiNode features a vast amount of merging and routing process engines beyond the amount of DMX ports, allowing you to decide what you like to achieve with the incoming data rather than what you are allowed to do with a DMX port only.
Tomorrow
Tomorrow's lighting rigs are and will be ever more Ethernet connected and LumiNode will make sure that all different controls can talk with different fixtures. For this reason Luminex introduced the concept of process engines.
Process engines let you define what you like or need to do with incoming data streams from different controls, protocols or even internal sources. And allows you to choose what output needs to be generated out of it. This can be a variety of different lighting control protocols and not necessarily a DMX/RDM output.
The output of a process engine can even serve multiple DMX/RDM ports and network protocols at once.
Future proof
The LumiNode product family offers more process engines than physical DMX connectors. Meaning your investment scales with the ever growing need for more network connected data and still being able to do what you need today.
