The console or the media server speaks ArtNet across the network; the CA3 receives it and carries 4CH of DMX512 signal out to the fixtures, the dimmers and the decoders that hang off the DMX line. The LCD screen at the unit runs the config, the built-in test mode checks the rig before the doors open, and the 8 timing plays and 16 recorded effects hold the looks when no one is driving. The firmware upgrades online, the supply is DC9V from the adapter, and the body is the same 145\u00d778.4\u00d729.4mm desktop plate at 410g the CD1 uses.<\/p>\n<h2>ArtNet in, DMX512 out<\/h2>\n<p>The input row names the protocol \u2014 ArtNet, the Ethernet control protocol the lighting networks and the media servers run. The output row carries 4CH of DMX512 signal \u2014 the DMX line the fixtures, dimmers and decoders speak. Between the two rows the CA3 does the one job a converter does: it takes the show off the network and puts it onto the DMX line, in the direction the modern installs run \u2014 Ethernet on the backbone, DMX at the gear.<\/p>\n<h2>The LCD and the test mode<\/h2>\n<p>The LCD screen at the unit carries the config: the settings read and set on the decoder-sized display, no laptop opened at the rack. The built-in test mode runs the rig before the show \u2014 the outputs checked from the unit itself, which is what the install crews do at the load-in and what the house techs do on the Monday walk. Between the screen and the test mode, the box is operable without a console on the desk.<\/p>\n<h2>Timing plays and recorded effects<\/h2>\n<p>The unit records effects \u2014 16 of them \u2014 and plays 8 of them on a timing schedule. That is the standalone story: the looks captured once, replayed on the clock for the unattended hours, and the recorded effects recalled at the touch of the unit. The retail frontage and the architectural installs hold their sequence without a console on site, and the recording means the looks match what the designer set, not an approximation.<\/p>\n<h2>Online firmware<\/h2>\n<p>The firmware upgrades online \u2014 the box takes protocol and feature updates over the network, without a trip to the cabinet or a re-flash on a bench. For a converter that sits on the lighting backbone, that is the maintenance path that keeps it current across the install&#8217;s life.<\/p>\n<h2>Working envelope<\/h2>\n<p>Working temperature spans -20\u00b0C to +55\u00b0C, which covers the plant rooms, the racks and the counters the converter lives on. The supply is DC9V from the adapter \u2014 the plug type is advised at order so it suits the country. The body is 145\u00d778.4\u00d729.4mm at 410g \u2014 the same desktop plate the CD1 uses, sized for the desk, the rack shelf or the cabinet shelf.<\/p>\n<h2>Where it gets used<\/h2>\n<p>The converter earns its place wherever the lighting network and the DMX gear meet: the theatre where the console runs Ethernet and the dimmers want DMX, the club where the newer network side meets the older DMX rig, the retail and architectural installs where the backbone is Ethernet and the fixtures are DMX. It is the box that lets the network investment reach the gear already on the wall.<\/p>\n<h2>Where it sits in the range<\/h2>\n<p>The Ethernet side of the range splits by what it drives. The CA3 is this ArtNet-to-DMX512 converter \u2014 the gateway to the DMX gear. The CA2 is the pixel controller: ArtNet and sACN in, 16 SPI pixel ports at 5,440 pixels, with 2\u00d7512 channels of DMX bridging out. The CD1 is the compact DMX-and-SPI pixel controller with the remote and the scheduled playback. And downstream of them all, the CV decoder family \u2014 the DIN rail units, the slim bodies, the stage boxes \u2014 translates the DMX into constant-voltage PWM for the strips.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The FEL-CA3 is the ArtNet-to-DMX512 converter for the Ethernet installs: the console or media server speaks ArtNet across the network, and the CA3 carries 4CH of DMX512 signal out the other side \u2014 the gateway between the lighting network and the DMX gear.
