MADRIX STELLA
IA-HW-001019
The MADRIX STELLA is a dedicated DMX512 and Art-Net/Streaming ACN control interface engineered for high quality and practicability in permanent LED installations.
KEY TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS
• Converts Art-Net / Streaming ACN / USB directly to DMX512
• 2 DMX-IN/OUT ports distributing 2 DMX universes per unit via 3-pin screw terminals
• 2 Ethernet ports support separate network connections and daisy-chaining
• Sync Mode for fully synchronized Art-Net data across all output ports and multiple devices
• RDM support and 3rd-party controller compatibility
• DIN rail and wall mountable with non-conductive enclosure
• Power via USB or 5V–24V screw terminal with upgradable firmware
BEST USED FOR
Permanent LED installations, large-scale DMX systems, architectural lighting, entertainment venues.
The 2-port network node with RDM support for solid-state projects
MADRIX STELLA is all about rock-solid performance
It makes sure that your carefully selected DMX fixtures reliably light up with vivid colors and smooth animations. It syncs across ports and different devices to make sure the lighting always looks amazing.
Controlling 2 DMX universes, you can choose output or input for each port, which directly connect to DMX512.
But that's not all. MADRIX STELLA supports Remote Device Management. It is no longer only about sending out control data. Devices now respond. This enables unprecedented possibilities for remote configuration and monitoring.
While previously unheard of, lighting control with Art-Net and supervision with RDM are even possible at the same time, continuously during live operation.
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.
Art-Net / Streaming ACN / USB
Art-Net or Streaming ACN data is directly converted to DMX512. Optimize and decentralize cabling to cover any distance to the device using Ethernet network. In addition, simply connect to MADRIX 5 over USB.
2 DMX-IN/OUT
Directly connect DMX512 to the two 3-pin screw terminals to distribute 2 DMX universes per unit as input and/or output, eliminating the need for XLR connectors as a result. Simply use several units at the same time for larger projects.
Easy Configuration
MADRIX STELLA offers powerful features. Managing the device is still quick and easy. Supply power over USB or 5 V to 24 V over a 2-pin screw terminal.
Sync Mode
MADRIX 5 and MADRIX hardware allow you to fully synchronize Art-Net data for all output ports and across multiple devices to get an optimal image on the LEDs without visual interruptions.
3rd-Party Controllers
MADRIX STELLA complies with official protocol specifications and can be used as a regular node with your other consoles, controllers, or software solutions.
RDM & Daisy-Chain Support
2 Ethernet ports allow for separate network connections as well as linearly daisy-chaining several devices together. On top, the device supports the Remote Device Management standard.
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. HTP merging is automatically available for two Ethernet sources. Its firmware is upgradable. Access and change specific device settings using the built-in web configuration page.
