• Supports Art-Net, Streaming ACN, and USB
• 8 configurable input channels
• Dual Ethernet ports for daisy-chaining
• Supports multiple input types including analog and digital
BEST USED FOR
interactive lighting installations, sensor-based control systems, architectural automation.
Adds a whole new level of interaction and control to your project
Have you ever thought about luring people into the store/club/ride by letting them interact with the lighting?
As a general-purpose input device, MADRIX ORION fits right in.
Transform your next project by introducing interactive elements. How about a convenient button? How about a motion sensor?
Connect switches, potentiometers, and triggers. Include sensors for light, temperature, passive infrared, and more. Integrate building automation and home automation.
8 versatile inputs receive analog signals from 0 V – 12 V. Converted into 8-bit or 16-bit digital DMX, MADRIX ORION outputs Art-Net or Streaming ACN over Ethernet network.
The MADRIX STELLA is a dedicated control interface for DMX512 and Art-Net or Streaming ACN that is designed for high quality and practicability in permanent LED installations.
Powerful A/D Converter
Easily convert any analog input signal ranging from 0 V – 12 V into an 8-bit or 16-bit digital DMX output signal. Sample incoming signals instantly and map all inputs individually to up to 8 or 16 DMX channels per device.
Art-Net / Streaming ACN / USB
Send the output signal as Art-Net or Streaming ACN (E1.31) over long or short distances to any compatible software or hardware controller. In addition, simply connect to MADRIX 5 over USB.
8 Versatile Inputs
Directly connect to a wide range of compatible sensors, potentiometers, switches, and triggers. Easily create interactive projects using sensors for light, temperature, PIR, and many more.
Versatile Output
Different input types allow data to be processed and parameterized differently for the output. Each input can be separately set as Analog-IN, Digital-IN, Counter, and other useful functions.
Direct Connection
2 main 6-pin ports are available with 4 individual pins each as well as GND and V+. Flexibly supply 5 V – 24 V power over the 2-pin screw terminal.
Daisy-Chain Support
2 Ethernet ports allow for separate network connections as well as linearly daisy-chaining several devices together for better cable management.
Designed For DIN Rails or Walls
Its non-conductive enclosure and standardized design for 35 mm top-hat rails make mounting quick, easy, and safe. 2 extra brackets are provided for optional wall mounting. 9 indicators quickly show the device status with the option to turn them off.
Invaluable Features
The device is ready within seconds after startup. Its firmware is upgradable for future enhancements. Access and change specific device settings using the built-in web configuration page.
