D3 CORE - 1U rack-mounted processor that runs Titan as a stand-alone controller

1U rack-mounted processor that runs Titan as a stand-alone controller

D3 Core is a 1U rack-mount processor designed to deliver the power of the Titan system while operating as a stand-alone controller. Designed for fixed installations, embedded applications, remote configurations, or environments where space is limited, this device enables reliable and professional lighting control without the need for a connected physical surface.

This processor natively supports up to 16 DMX universes, equivalent to 8192 channels, and can manage an unlimited number of fixtures. It is compatible with advanced protocols such as Streaming ACN, Art-Net, Art-RDM, CITP, and SMPTE LTC, ensuring optimal integration with lighting and media control systems. Furthermore, thanks to TitanNet, it is possible to create multi-console sessions for shared and scalable management.

As mentioned, this processor can operate as a stand-alone controller, running the entire Titan operating system, but it can also be integrated with an external control surface, such as the T3. The front panel features a 1.9" display for essential information such as the console ID, showfile and IP address, as well as the ability to connect an external monitor with up to 4K resolution via USB-C or DisplayPort.

In addition to the 4 DMX ports (IN/OUT), the rear panel features 2 RJ45 connectors and 2 USB-A ports (a third is on the front).
