If you are searching for a reliable (show) control network solution,
the Kiss-Box line of data communication products is the answer.
Why should one bother to connect different appliances each on its
own infrastucture, when there is an easy solution?

Connect it all to one structure: the network.

The Kiss-Box makes this possible by providing an interface to the network for most appliances.
Advantages:

• Most of the time no need for extra infrastructure (ethernet is   omnipresent)
• No distance limits
• Easy installation/configuration
• Easy maintenance
• Because of the above: Cost effective

          And there is more:

• No need for a separate power cable because Kiss-Box uses Power Over Ethernet
• Kiss-Box delivers unique flexibility for Ethernet installations and makes data network management un-fussy.
• Kiss-Box provides the hardware to transport any data signal you need, to every part of your Ethernet network.
• Kiss-Box provides the flexibility to use MIDI, DMX, RS232, RS422, RS485, I/O(Analog, Digital ...), Time Code
  and more, over a single Ethernet network. A high speed embedded processor makes the Kiss-Box an extremely
  fast and reactive control unit.
• A typical Kiss-Box based control system consists of 1 or more Kiss-Boxes, a network and a Computer running control
  software. However, most of the units can also be used in a "Peer-to-Peer" setup, to pipeline data across a network.
• Control software can be any type of existing third party IP based software.
• A Kiss-Box can be configured to work with TCP or UDP/IP based protocols (e.g ArtNet, ETC Net, CAN, RTP) or,
  third party software can utilize the Kiss-protocol to communicate with the Kiss-Box. (a Kiss-SDK will be available to
  be able to write custom drivers)
• The Kiss-Box Editor software provides additional programming functions as well as exam and monitoring information.
• The DMX Kiss-Box is ArtNet compliant.
• The Midi Kiss-Box uses the MIDI-RTP standard and can use the VST option used by many Midi sequencers
