Overview

The MA Lighting grandMA3 onPC 8Port Node 4K is a powerful and versatile Ethernet-to-DMX node designed to expand your grandMA3 onPC lighting control system. This node serves two essential functions: it converts Ethernet data into DMX signals and adds up to 4,096 control parameters to your grandMA3 onPC system. Ideal for both touring and fixed installations, this node features eight DMX outputs located on the rear panel, providing seamless connectivity for extensive lighting setups.

Housed in a robust 19"/1RU chassis, the grandMA3 onPC 8Port Node 4K is compact and rack-mountable, making it perfect for use in touring rigs, permanent installations, or any setting where space efficiency is key. This node directly unlocks 4,096 control parameters, offering maximum DMX capacity for your grandMA3 onPC system. The node is compatible with MA-Net3, MA-Net2, sACN, and Art-Net data, allowing it to integrate smoothly into a variety of network environments. Additionally, it supports RDM (Remote Device Management) compliance, giving users advanced control over their DMX devices and fixtures.

One of the standout features of the grandMA3 onPC 8Port Node 4K is its 3.9" color display on the front panel, which provides intuitive access to configuration settings and real-time status monitoring. This display ensures that setting up and managing your node is straightforward, whether you're on tour or working in a fixed installation environment. For installations where cabling simplicity is crucial, this node is also available in a PoE (Power over Ethernet) variant, reducing the need for separate power cables by utilizing Ethernet for both data and power.

Configuring the grandMA3 onPC 8Port Node 4K is effortless using the grandMA3 onPC software, which offers the same features and control capabilities as larger grandMA3 consoles. This means you get a compact, cost-effective control system that does not compromise on features or functionality, making it ideal for a wide range of professional lighting applications, including theaters, concert venues, and broadcast studios.

Designed for flexibility and ease of use, the grandMA3 onPC 8Port Node 4K allows you to expand your DMX output capabilities and manage large-scale lighting systems without the need for additional consoles. Whether you are handling complex touring productions or setting up permanent installations, this node provides the reliability, scalability, and control needed for modern lighting environments.
