Obsidian Control EP1D DMX/RDM Gateway

Obsidian Control EP1D DMX/RDM Gateway

The Obsidian Control EP1D is a compact, versatile DMX/RDM gateway designed for professional lighting control installations. Featuring a space-efficient DIN rail mounting system, this powerful device integrates seamlessly into control cabinets and fixed installations while providing reliable DMX/RDM communication. The EP1D's bidirectional DMX/RDM optically isolated port ensures clean signal transmission and reception, making it ideal for complex lighting setups in theaters, venues, architectural installations, and entertainment environments.

Engineered for flexibility, the EP1D offers multiple power options to accommodate various installation requirements. The device can be powered via POE (Power Over Ethernet) using the RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet port, through a standard DC 9-48V input via the 2-pin terminal block, or temporarily using the front-facing USB-C port. This versatility ensures consistent operation in diverse environments and simplifies integration into existing systems. With its low power consumption of just 1.6W, the EP1D is an energy-efficient solution for permanent installations.

The EP1D's robust connectivity options include a Gigabit Ethernet port for high-speed network communication, supporting POE for simplified wiring. The bidirectional DMX/RDM port features optical isolation to prevent ground loops and signal interference, ensuring reliable data transmission between your control system and lighting fixtures. Four LED status indicators on the front panel provide clear visual feedback on the device's operational status, making troubleshooting and system monitoring straightforward.

Built to professional standards, the EP1D features CE and cETLus approvals, confirming its compliance with international safety and performance standards. Its compact dimensions (87mm × 36mm × 60mm) make it ideal for installations where space is at a premium, while its lightweight construction (0.2 kg) ensures it won't overburden mounting systems. The device comes complete with both 2-pin and 3-pin terminal blocks, allowing for immediate installation without additional component purchases.
