We all have those tools in toolbox that make our jobs easier and saves countless hours of figuring out what the problem is.  For many technicians, they live and die by these tools, such ass the DMXcat from City Theatrical. For years, the DMXcat has offered the ability to trouble shoot cables, fixtures and so much more. With the next version of the DMXcat, (DMXcat-E), and the launch of the DMXcat Multi Function Test Tool, your control of the universe expands.

City Theatrical‘s new DMXcat-E is an expansion to City Theatrical’s DMXcat Multi Function Test Tool system of solutions that allows for Ethernet control of a lighting fixture. In addition to 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, DMXcat-E allows users to view and send Ethernet protocols, including ArtNet and Streaming ACN (sACN).

The new DMXcat-E also allows users to perform cable testing of 5-pin XLR and Ethernet cables via an included external remote. DMXcat-E can read SMPTE timecode as well as MIDI timecode and regular MIDI for audio and other entertainment projects. DMXcat-E uses bookmarking of timecode and save to file functions for ease of use. DMXcat-E also allows users to view DMX timings and PoE voltages. 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.
