The proliferation of control protocols such as DMX, RDM, Art-Net, sACN, RDMnet, GTDF, and Ethernet requires flexible data distribution solutions to cover productions of all sizes and complexity.  The OctoCAT integrates data distribution with technology from Swisson and wireless technology from LumenRadio; both world renowned manufacturers with a stellar record in the film and TV industry.

The following data distribution options are currently available: OctoCAT-N: Ethernet Node with 8 output ports of DMX/RDM OctoCAT-W: Dual LumenRadio CRMX Opto Splitters with 1 input, 1 through, & 4 output ports each  OctoCAT-P: Programmable DMX/RDM Opto Splitter with 2 input and 8 output ports OctoCAT-R: DMX/RDM Opto Splitter with 1 input and 8 output ports

LED lighting has become omnipresent on stages, in studios, and on-location for television, motion picture, and video production. DADCO’s BlackCAT Lunchbox distros are designed to provide both power and data for LED systems as well as DMX capable legacy devices and traditional incandescent and HMI lighting fixtures.
