Overview

The MA Lighting grandMA3 onPC 4Port Node 4K is an advanced and versatile Ethernet-to-DMX node designed to expand your grandMA3 onPC lighting control system. With four DMX outputs on the rear panel, this node is ideal for both touring and permanent installations, providing up to 4,096 control parameters to ensure seamless control of real-world lighting fixtures. Designed for efficiency and reliability, this half-width, 1RU chassis offers a compact, space-saving solution that integrates easily into any lighting setup, whether on the road or in a fixed installation.

The grandMA3 onPC 4Port Node 4K acts as both an Ethernet-to-DMX converter and a parameter expansion unit for your grandMA3 onPC system. By simply downloading the grandMA3 onPC software and connecting the 4Port Node, you are ready to take full control of your lighting rig. This node supports MA-Net3, MA-Net2, sACN, and Art-Net protocols, ensuring compatibility across a range of networking environments. With its RDM (Remote Device Management) compliance, the node allows for remote monitoring and configuration of connected DMX devices, providing greater flexibility and control over your lighting setup.

The 4Port Node 4K features a 3.9" color display on the front panel, offering an intuitive interface for configuring the node and monitoring its status. This makes it easy to adjust settings and troubleshoot in real-time, whether in a live performance setting or a permanent installation. The unit's compact size and lightweight design make it ideal for integration into touring rigs or permanent AV systems, and a range of mounting accessories is available to further customize the installation to suit your needs.

This node can also be ordered in a Power over Ethernet (PoE) variant, which simplifies power cabling by allowing the device to receive power through its Ethernet connection. This feature is particularly beneficial for installations where running additional power cables is challenging or impractical. The grandMA3 onPC 4Port Node 4K is built for robust performance in demanding environments, with a durable chassis and components that ensure long-lasting reliability.

With grandMA3 onPC software providing the same powerful features as larger grandMA consoles, the 4Port Node 4K is an affordable and compact solution that doesn't compromise on performance. Whether you're working on small to medium-sized productions or need a scalable system that can grow with your needs, the grandMA3 onPC 4Port Node 4K is the perfect choice for expanding your lighting control capabilities. With support for up to 250,000 parameters through additional grandMA3 processing units, this node offers limitless possibilities for controlling even the most complex lighting designs.
