XTBA DMX Decoders

DMX to analogue decoders are still to be found in numerous theatres and TV stations around the world. The ideal (and in many cases the only) way to interface older dimmers to DMX - oh happy days of multicore cable, Socapex and the pin matrix!

A while ago XTBA installed 1,632 channels of DMX to analogue decoders in a TV studio. Some years later they needed some splitters but did not know of XTBA - until it was pointed out to them that they had two racks with 34 XTBA decoders in the basement. They had switched these on and forgotten about for six years - they then bought the splitters from us without further hesitation!

RACK-DAC Decoder

XTBA's RACK-DAC is a no frills 48 channel 1U 19" rack DMX512 to analogue decoder available with minus or positive volt 0 to 10v control outputs.

Inexpensively priced, but offering some outstanding features. RACK-DAC's input system will receive and understand most variations of DMX512 including some 'illegal' ones, making it hard to fool with 'dodgy' DMX.

All outputs are decoupled, overload and short circuit protected. Full 512 Start Addressing. Display LEDs for Data and Power. Soft start on initial data connection - thus saving accidental dimmer trip should circuits be set to full. Slow fade out on data loss. RACK-DAC is the simple, reliable and inexpensive way to decode DMX512.
