Overview

The MA Lighting grandMA3 onPC 4Port Node 4K PoE is an advanced and compact Ethernet-to-DMX node that enables seamless control of lighting fixtures by converting Ethernet data to DMX, while adding 4,096 parameters to your grandMA3 onPC system. Designed for versatility, this 4-port node is equipped with PoE (Power over Ethernet), eliminating the need for additional power cabling, making it perfect for both touring and permanent installations. The grandMA3 onPC 4Port Node 4K PoE is ideal for expanding your control capabilities with a small, affordable footprint without compromising the powerful features of a grandMA3 lighting control system.

Offering four DMX outputs on its rear panel, the 4Port Node 4K PoE allows for direct connection to DMX-controlled fixtures, ensuring a streamlined and efficient setup. With its half-width, 1RU chassis, the node fits neatly into any rig or rack, and a wide range of mounting accessories allows for further customization and flexibility. The unit enables 4,096 parameters, the maximum for a grandMA3 onPC system, making it the go-to choice for users who need robust control capabilities in a compact and portable format.

The grandMA3 onPC 4Port Node 4K PoE supports multiple protocols, including MA-Net3, MA-Net2, sACN, and Art-Net, providing compatibility across a variety of networking environments. Additionally, the node is fully RDM-compliant, allowing for remote monitoring and configuration of DMX devices, giving users greater flexibility in managing their lighting setups. With a 3.9" color display on the front panel, users can easily configure the node and monitor its status in real-time, making it simple to set up and troubleshoot.

The PoE functionality of this node is a significant advantage for fixed installations where minimizing cabling is essential. By using Power over Ethernet, the node can receive power directly through the Ethernet connection, reducing the complexity of installation and making it easier to manage power distribution across the system. Whether used in live productions or permanent installations, the grandMA3 onPC 4Port Node 4K PoE ensures reliable and stable performance.

By connecting to the grandMA3 onPC software, users can configure and control their lighting systems with the same level of functionality as the larger grandMA consoles, providing a cost-effective solution for smaller or mid-sized productions. With up to 250,000 parameters available when paired with additional grandMA3 processing units, the 4Port Node 4K PoE offers exceptional scalability for expanding your lighting control system as needed.
