Description
High-Capacity DMX Distribution for Complex Lighting Systems
The Elumen8 Cygnus SPLIT10 DMX Splitter is designed to support large-scale lighting systems where reliable signal distribution is critical. With ten independently driven outputs, this unit provides a scalable solution for distributing DMX signals across multiple fixtures, zones or trusses without compromising performance.
For AV installers and lighting professionals managing complex environments, the SPLIT10 ensures consistent data delivery across extended networks, supporting both permanent installations and live production setups.
Dual Input Flexibility for Redundancy and Control
A key advantage of the SPLIT10 is its dual DMX input architecture. With two selectable inputs and A/B switching available on each output, users can route signals with greater control and flexibility.
This functionality is particularly valuable in professional environments where redundancy is required. Whether operating a primary and backup controller or switching between control sources, the unit enables seamless signal management without system disruption.
Opto-Isolated Outputs for System Protection
Each of the ten outputs is electronically opto-isolated from both the inputs and one another, protecting the wider lighting system from electrical faults, interference and ground loops.
This level of protection is essential in commercial installations where multiple power circuits and long cable runs are common. By isolating each output, the SPLIT10 safeguards connected fixtures and ensures consistent signal integrity across the entire network.
Designed for Structured and Scalable Cabling
The SPLIT10 simplifies DMX infrastructure by enabling a star wiring topology. This approach improves cable management, reduces troubleshooting complexity and enhances overall system reliability.
For installers, this means cleaner rack builds, more organised cable runs and a future-proofed system that can be expanded with ease. It is particularly effective in venues where multiple lighting zones require independent signal distribution.
Clear Visual Feedback and Operational Confidence
Each output features dedicated status indicators, allowing technicians to quickly identify active signal paths and diagnose issues in real time. Combined with A/B input indicators, this provides immediate visibility of system behaviour during setup and operation.
In fast-paced environments such as live events or theatre productions, this level of clarity supports efficient troubleshooting and minimises downtime.
Built for Professional Installation and Touring
Housed within a robust 1U 19 inch rack mount chassis, the Cygnus SPLIT10 integrates seamlessly into standard rack systems. Its durable construction ensures suitability for both fixed installations and mobile production rigs.
An integrated M10 mounting point also allows for flexible rigging options, making the unit equally viable for truss-mounted applications where rack space may be limited.
Versatile Application Across Commercial Sectors
The SPLIT10 is well suited to a wide range of commercial AV environments. In theatres and performance venues, it enables reliable distribution across multiple lighting positions and universes. In education settings, it supports structured stage lighting systems within school halls and auditoriums.
Hospitality venues benefit from its ability to segment lighting zones across bars, dining areas and feature spaces, while live production teams can rely on its stability when deploying temporary or touring systems.
Future-Ready DMX Infrastructure
As lighting systems become more advanced, the importance of robust DMX signal distribution continues to grow. Splitters play a critical role in maintaining signal integrity, extending cable runs and protecting equipment within modern lighting networks.
The Elumen8 Cygnus SPLIT10 provides a dependable foundation for these systems, ensuring accurate and consistent data transmission across even the most demanding applications. For installers and integrators, it represents a practical and scalable solution that aligns with the evolving requirements of professional lighting control.
