Product Description
Madrix IA-HW-001033 Stella 8 8-Port Controller
Overview
MADRIX STELLA 8 combines incredible features for DMX512 and RDM into a single DIN-rail controller that easily copes with high bandwidths in data-intensive lighting-control networks.
High-Quality Ethernet Node – eDMX
MADRIX STELLA 8 provides extremely useful features and high performance for complete lighting control.
8 DMX-OUT – Art-Net To DMX / sACN To DMX
Assign control data to the 8 physical ports for DMX output over 3-pin screw terminals. The device supports:
• Art-Net (Unicast, Broadcast, Or Both) (Incl. ArtSync)
• Streaming ACN (sACN) (Unicast Or Multicast)
8 DMX-IN – DMX To Art-Net / DMX To sACN
Receive control data as DMX-IN and send it back out as eDMX (Art-Net, sACN, or both). Each of the 8 ports can automatically or manually be set to receive input.
Customizable Booster / Merger / Splitter
Easily refresh, combine, or duplicate incoming signals.
Ultimate Real-Time Merging
Combine data streams, directly processed with 0 delay, to create a single output signal via a highly adaptable system with automatic or manual HTP/LTP merging from up to 8 sources.
1 GBit/s Network & PoE – Power Over Ethernet
Simply deliver power to the device over Ethernet.
On top, the device supports fast 1 GBit/s speeds.
