DMXcat-E™ (New!)
City Theatrical‘s new! DMXcat-E™ (P/N 6100) is an expansion to City Theatrical’s DMXcat® Multi Function Test Tool system of solutions that allows for Ethernet control of a lighting fixture. DMXcat-E includes all the functions DMXcat users currently enjoy, including utilization of the DMXcat free smartphone application for iPhone and Android to plan, install, operate, and maintain theatrical and studio lighting equipment. The new DMXcat-E allows users to view and send Ethernet protocols, including Art-Net and Streaming ACN (sACN).
The new! DMXcat-E also allows users to perform cable testing of 5-pin XLR and RJ45 cables, as well as the ability to test and view PoE voltages. DMXcat-E can read and display SMPTE LTC and MIDI for audio and other entertainment projects. DMXcat-E includes new timecode bookmarking and save to file functions for ease of use. The DMXcat-E hardware is complete with a flashlight, buzzer, and USB-C charging. As more manufacturers implement RDM Net into their fixtures, the DMXcat-E is ready to be the essential test tool for the future of lighting.
The free DMXcat app, which also used with the DMXcat-E, can function in seven languages: Spanish, French, German, Italian, Korean, Japanese, and English. DMXcat works with Android and iPhone. Download the free DMXcat app to pair with your DMXcat-E hardware here (requires Android OS 6.0+ or Apple iOS 11+):
