Enjoy all the features of the DMXcat test tool, but now for lighting rigs as well, with the DMXcat-E from City Theatrical, a versatile multifunctional tester also allows you to engage in various XLR 5-pin and RJ45 cable tests. With support for Art-Net and Streaming ACN protocols, the DMXcat-E is a vital tool for efficient maintenance of lighting systems.
The DMXcat-E supports various methods for testing XLR and RJ45/etherCON cables, including the ability to view and test PoE voltages and check DMX timings. The DMXcat-E can read and display SMPTE LTC and MIDI signals for audio projects as well. Furthermore, the tester supports useful new functions like timecode bookmarking and save-to-file functions for ease of use. The DMXcat-E supports all the functions that come with the DMXcat tool, including the free app for iOS and Android, making it easier to install, operate, and maintain theatrical and studio lighting systems. Finally, the DMXcat-E sports useful built-in functions such as a flashlight, buzzer, and convenient USB-C charging.
- Ethernet: the Ethernet app allows users to view the sources on the network, such as consoles and button stations. Users can ping devices on the network, make a list of IP addresses and ping them all at once, or change IP settings.
- Cable Testing: the Cable Testing app works in two ways: for 5-pin DMX, users can use the two XLR connectors on the device to test DMX cables. For Ethernet, users can plug in one end of the Ethernet cable to verify the cable is wired correctly, and also find out the cable length.
- PoE Tester: the PoE Tester app allows users to see the voltage on the RJ45 cable, or specify the classification of the attached network switch.
- Timecode: Timecode is an application designed to verify the timecode signal coming from any timecode generator that generates MIDI or SMPTE. This app also allows users to make a click track that can be uploaded to the lighting console.
- MIDI: the MIDI application shows all MIDI data on the DIN connector. Users can use it as a visual check to verify what is happening on the wire.
