Safety notes

Protective insulation and other protective measures in the E-Gate device ensure that you

cannot come into contact with any harmful electric currents.

Please observe the following in spite of this:

Never switch on equipment that is obviously damaged. Send the equipment to

transtechnik for repairs.

Equipment is only to be used for its intended purpose.

Avoid extreme mechanical loads (for example, throwing).

Do not allow the equipment to become wet.

If there is any reason to suspect a fault, unplug the equipment from the main

power supply immediately. Ensure that it cannot be started up again and send

the equipment to transtechnik for repairs.

Ensure that it is disconnected from the main power supply before opening.

Repair work may only be performed by an authorized dealer or transtechnik.

Overview of functions

E-Gate plus DMX / Ethernet converter

Increasingly, data communication in modern lighting systems is based on the Ethernet

standard. However, most older equipment and virtually all end devices continue to have

DMX512 interfaces. In order to allow such equipment to be incorporated seamlessly into an

Ethernet infrastructure and still be used in the same way as before, transtechnik has

designed the E-Gate to have following functions:

Supply of DMX data to the Ethernet

Supply of Ethernet data to DMX lines

Ethernet bridge between DMX devices

Protocol converter for heterogeneous networks

DMX merger and DMX filter

Network Protocols

E-Gates can process DMX data using the following network protocols:

Für das E-Gate können folgende Netzwerkprotokolle verwendet werden:

UDP Console family transtechnik NT/NTX, priority control

ACN Console family ETC Eos

IPX Console family AVAB Congo and some AVAB-consoles using network output

Most of the consoles can be configured to send all of these protocols. Within a installation one

common protocol can be used.

Miscellaneous

The configuration, i.e. the data that can be modified using control elements, is stored

permanently. Software updates can be installed via the RS-232 interface integrated into the

front panel or via the Ethernet.

E-Gate plus Functional description

Functional description

E-Gate plus is designed with removable handle bars for easier dismantling from a rack. So it is

especially suited for operation outside of a rack.

It has the following features:

2 DMX inputs

4 DMX outputs

1 bidirectional Ethernet port

connections are located on the front panel

the RS-232 interface (COM port) is located on the rear panel

E-Gate plus can convert the data from up to four signal sources (DMX input and Ethernet)

into DMX output values or filter criteria:

Ethernet DMX Conversion of Ethernet data from up to four lighting

consoles to DMX512, optionally using the HTP merge

function

Ethernet + DMX DMX Merging of the Ethernet data sent from two lighting

consoles with the two DMX512 inputs with the output

optionally sent to four DMX512 outputs

DMX DMX Reception of two DMX signals, optionally using the HTP

merge function, and output of the regenerated signals with

selectable DMX512 timing

DMX Ethernet Conversion of up to two DMX signals to Ethernet for

transmission to lighting consoles, dimmer systems or other

E-Gates

Ethernet Ethernet Converter and filter for Ethernet protocols

E-Gate plus Local operation

Eight LEDs display the operating status of the device:

CPU green device OK

red device is booting, overload network/CPU

orange start up

NET off no connection to network

green DMX input from network

blink: Egatekeeper & DMX input

green orange blink: Egatekeeper or

DMX input not configurated for the E-Gate

red no DMX from network

red blink more than four DMX sources

IN A/B off input unused

green receive DMX

red no DMX signal

OUT A/B/C/D off unused

green blink send DMX

red does not send DMX

red blink output in hold condition

E-Gate plus Local operation

All operations are carried out using a menu system with an encoder (dial) and four buttons

according to the "SELECT - EDIT - SAVE – ESC" operating concept.

Allows you to scroll from one menu page to the next.

Prerequisite: Edit mode must be inactive. If edit mode is active, then

[Page] functions in the same way as [Esc] [Page].

Saves the current value and terminates edit mode.

Activates edit mode so that entries and changes can be made.

In edit mode you can change parameters (e.g. settings, the IP

address, etc.).

Some menus offer you the option of changing more than one

parameter. Repeatedly pressing [Edit] selects a different parameter

each time.

From some menu pages, this button will call the next menu level.

After selecting a parameter with the encoder, pressing [Edit] will select

this parameter for editing.

Terminates edit mode without saving any changes you have made.

Calls the menu level above the current level

E-Gate plus Local operation

The LEDs on the [Edit] and [Save] buttons convey information about the current input status:

Edit mode is not active

Edit mode is active,

but no values have been

changed yet LED lit

Edit mode is active,

and at least one value has

been changed LED lit

LED lit

The encoder (dial) has two operating modes:

Edit mode is inactive The encoder (dial) is used to scroll through all the menus of the

current level one by one. When you get to the last menu, the

system automatically takes you back to the first menu (wrap

around).

Edit mode is active The encoder (dial) is used to modify the values of the marked

parameters. The wrap around feature also applies to many of

the parameters, once you reach the last value it automatically

goes back to the first.
