The 2-Port SmartNode is a flexible network I/O device that is easily customized with a wide variety of interface types such as DMX, Digital I/O, Relays, Serial, Station Bus, MIDI, and more, using optional Smart Modules. By adding modules, the physical interfaces become available on the network, and can be configured to augment a CueServer system or freely convert between popular network protocols such as sACN, Art-Net, KiNET, and more.

For example, a SmartNode with DMX modules can convert between sACN, Art-Net, and physical DMX. Additionally, multiple modules can be merged together, or used to create splitters or repeaters. Other Smart Modules, such as Relays, Digital I/O, Station Bus, MIDI, etc., can also be used with a variety of popular network protocols.

Use the 2-Port SmartNode to add additional I/O to a lighting or custom automation project over the network. With its vast array of configuration options, the SmartNode is easily integrated into both CueServer-based systems and general lighting control projects.
