Thanks for the interest in MIDIMizer. Its been a big hit.
'nightlight' is correct - it does a physical conversion from 5-pin MIDI to RJ-45.
So instead of two specialized MIDI cables, you can use just one of the more common, and less expensive, cat5/ethernet cables.
Cat5/Ethernet cables are designed for much higher data rate than MIDI, so performance remains the same.
Yes, I'm not a big fan of MIDI cables. (or any cables for that matter... stay tuned for MIDIMizer-Wireless, currently in test...)
