NFC Received! ETC’s 2-port and 4-port (non-DIN) models of Response Mk2 DMX Gateways now support NFC configuration. A simple tap from a mobile device running the Set Light app (v1.9 or later) allows users to retrieve a Gateway’s configuration, edit it in the app, then effortlessly update the gateway with another tap, even while the gateway is powered off.
“I’m so glad we were able to add these quick configuration capabilities we’ve had in our fixtures to Response Mk2 DMX Gateways,” said Kirk Starks, Networking and Mobile App Product Manager for ETC. “It’s now possible to configure an entire lighting rig from the road cases before ever seeing power.”
This latest update to Response Mk2 DMX Gateways also adds Port Labels on the Gateways’ LCD screen. Now you no longer have to wonder “What’s plugged into this port again?” You can also view and edit port information in the latest version of ETC’s Concert network configuration software (v4.5.1) and in the Set Light app.
In addition to shipping with new Response Mk2 DMX Gateways all of these features are available now and for FREE for all existing Response Mk2 DMX Gateways. Users can activate features in the field with a simple upgrade to software version 2.1.0 or 3.1.0 via UpdaterAtor. For the security-conscious, NFC configuration can be disabled using Concert on a per device basis, ensuring devices in publicly-accessible areas cannot be reconfigured by unauthorized users.
