Description
The Blizzard Pipeline is a professional 8-way DMX distributor designed to split and distribute DMX signals across multiple lighting fixtures while maintaining complete electrical isolation between inputs and outputs. With two DMX inputs, eight independently driven outputs, and support for both 3-pin and 5-pin DMX connections, the Pipeline provides flexible signal routing for professional lighting systems. Each output features an independent driver, while 100% electronic isolation between the inputs and outputs and between individual outputs helps separate connected DMX circuits for reliable signal distribution. A dedicated signal and power indicator for each output, along with a terminator resistor switch, provides convenient monitoring and DMX chain management.
The Pipeline can distribute a DMX signal across eight output channels and supports up to 32 units per output channel. Its DMX input and thru connections allow the unit to be integrated into existing DMX chains, while the terminator resistor switch provides an option for terminating the final unit in a DMX chain.
Built for professional lighting rigs, the Pipeline features an anodized aluminum front panel, removable rack wings for rack or wall mounting, and an IEC power input on the rear panel. The unit measures 19 × 5.1 × 1.7 inches and weighs 5.7 lbs.
