LM-3E and LM-3R

The LM-3 series is probably the easiest way to transport DMX through an Ethernet network, as it directly integrates itself in an existing network. This is particularly useful for older installations that cannot be physically modified: LM-3 series provides DMX signal anywhere in the building.

The system is composed of emitters (LM-3E) that put DMX frames in the Ethernet network, and receivers (LM-3R) that extract DMX signals from the Ethernet network. To send and receive DMX, both LM-3E and LM-3R use the same protocols: WorkNet (proprietary protocol) and ArtNet.

LM-3E is a DMX to Ethernet converter that sends DMX signals in an existing Ethernet network. It has been preset to be automatically integrated in Ethernet networks, so no configuration is required. Nevertheless, it is fully configurable and user can, if he wants to, change the system IP address.

Thanks to its group selector, many LM-3E units can be sent in a same network, transporting thus various DMX universes together. This is a great solution for consoles that use more than one DMX universe or for many independent DMX controllers.

LM-3 R for its own is an Ethernet to DMX interface, which incorporates 2 devices in one:

• ArtNet node.
• Automatic Ethernet to DMX interface (using WORKNET CONTROL protocol).

This enables LM-3 R to receive signals coming from an interface or from a lighting console using ArtNet standards.
