Expected to start shipping in late June, City Theatrical is working out some software bugs before release.

DMXcat-E is the next generation of this popular system, which now allows for Ethernet control of a lighting fixture! In addition to all the functions DMXcat users currently enjoy, DMXcat-E allows users to view and send Ethernet protocols including ArtNet and Streaming ACN (sACN). Other new features include a cable tester (5-pin XLR / Ethernet) plus details on DMX timings and PoE voltage. 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.

The DMXcat system is designed for use by the lighting professional who is involved with the planning, installation, operation, or maintenance of theatrical and studio lighting equipment. The system consists of a small hardware interface device and a suite of mobile applications. Together, they combine to bring DMX/RDM control plus several other functionalities to the user's smartphone for use wherever and whenever they are needed. Works with both Android and iPhones.
