The AAA2/100 SandBox was designed to provide a versatile and budget friendly solution for Streaming ACN, the E1.31 ESTA/ANSI standard for DMX-over-Ethernet, and Art-Net I & II, legacy protocols adopted by many equipment manufacturers. This highly portable and rugged package enables DMX-over-Ethernet input and output for the majority of today’s lighting control systems, show controllers, and visualizers. 

 The two DMX ports are bi-directional for maximum flexibility so that any port, independent of the XLR connector gender, can be configured as an input or output. The AAA2/100 SandBox supports 10BaseT and 100BaseT for unparalleled throughput and easy integration with any network topology. Auto MDI/MDI-X eliminates the need to worry about straight vs. cross-over cabling. Power over Ethernet provides effortless power to the unit via PoE switches or mid-span PoE injectors. An external wall-wart style power supply can be used when PoE is unavailable.

 SandBoxes are native SandNet devices easily configured and managed with the free SandNet LocalLink software or with a stand-alone configurator. A factory default button provides a convenient configuration starting point for the novice user. The AAA2/100 also supports firmware uploads over Ethernet to accommodate the rapidly evolving world of entertainment networks.
