The MA2 8 Port Node is a powerful networking device designed to facilitate the conversion of Ethernet data into DMX signals, supporting up to eight DMX universes. It integrates seamlessly with the grandMA2 lighting control system, offering high-speed data transfer through MA-Net2, sACN, and Art-Net protocols over a 1Gbit/s connection. This makes it ideal for both fixed installations and touring applications where multiple DMX outputs are needed.
The node is housed in a rugged steel casing, optimized for durability in demanding environments. It features a 2-inch color TFT display for easy monitoring and configuration, and its 19-inch rack-mountable design allows for flexible installation options. The device is fully configurable from a grandMA2 console or grandMA2 onPC, ensuring that it can be tailored to meet the specific needs of any lighting setup.
