Luminex

Belgium's Luminex was founded in 2002 as an innovative developer of lighting control equipment for the entertainment industry, creating hassle-free network infrastructure solutions dedicated to the growing live production scene and entertainment industry. Today, Luminex provides audio, broadcast, and video control, introducing converged networking solutions combining lighting, video, and audio apps into a single infrastructure. Luminex is committed to focusing on the future of the AV industry, and Converged Networking is increasingly important as AV systems evolve, becoming more integrated and interconnected.

GigaCore Ethernet AV Network Switches
Luminex GigaCore AV Ethernet Switches and Routers are specifically designed for the Pro AV industry with converged networking fully validated in real-world applications like AVB/Milan, NDI, Dante, AES67, ST-2110, and many more. Lumantek GigaCore switches are easily managed using their network-wide tool, Araneo, which shows status, data streams, and port status, allowing operators to react before the show gets interrupted. Offline Araneo lets you plan the network topology and settings in advance, with commissioning just a click away.

DMX Lighting Control
Luminex LumiNode devices are high-performance Lighting Control Units, Ethernet-to-DMX converters transforming network protocols like Art-Net, sACN, KiNET, and RTTrPL into DMX/RDM signals for lighting control in live entertainment and installations. Lumatek LumiCore allows you to merge and route up to 64 x 4 input sources to 64 newly defined universes, making it perfect for festivals, theaters, or TV studios. LumiCore controls your infrastructure from a central location, managing storage and sharing resources in a fully redundant way.

Flexible Fiber Options
Luminex creates Single Mode Fiber (SMF) SFP+ (Enhanced Small Form-Factor, Pluggable) transceivers, engineered for easy installation with hot-swappable functionality and integration with GigaCore and Araneo, providing real-time analytics and instant feedback. This type of cutting-edge technology has always been Markertek's stock in trade, but what makes us unique is that many of the brands we offer don't require deep IT expertise to incorporate! Plus, Markertek Sales Engineers are happy to help fill in any information gaps! We stock Luminex because it's purpose-built for the entertainment and AV industry, offering you a true plug-and-play experience. Contact us today to learn more!
