Overview
The MA Lighting grandMA3 onPC 2Port Node DIN-Rail 2K is a versatile and compact Ethernet-to-DMX node designed for professional installations in theaters, TV studios, houses of worship, and more. Specifically optimized for DIN-Rail mounting, this node offers seamless integration into permanent installation setups while providing powerful DMX and Ethernet connectivity. The grandMA3 onPC 2Port Node DIN-Rail 2K is capable of converting Ethernet data to DMX and supports up to 4,096 parameters, making it the maximum parameter solution for any grandMA3 onPC system.
One of the standout features of this node is its ability to be powered entirely via PoE (Power over Ethernet), eliminating the need for separate power cables and simplifying installation. This feature is particularly useful in environments where running additional cabling is either impractical or costly. The node supports two DMX outputs through 3-pin PCB connectors, allowing for seamless communication with lighting fixtures in professional lighting setups.
The grandMA3 onPC 2Port Node DIN-Rail 2K offers full RDM (Remote Device Management) compliance, enabling remote configuration and monitoring of connected DMX fixtures. The 3.9" color display located on the front of the device provides an intuitive interface for status updates and configuration, making it easy to monitor network and signal health at a glance.
Supporting MA-Net3, MA-Net2, sACN, and Art-Net protocols, this DIN-Rail node is highly adaptable to a variety of network setups, ensuring compatibility with the grandMA3 onPC software and other grandMA3 hardware. The grandMA3 onPC software mirrors the features of full-size grandMA consoles, providing a powerful and cost-effective solution for controlling real-world fixtures. Whether you're running a small-to-medium-sized venue or looking to expand your existing control system, the grandMA3 onPC 2Port Node DIN-Rail 2K delivers robust performance and exceptional flexibility.
Perfect for fixed installations where rack-mounted equipment is required, the DIN-Rail housing makes it easy to mount in tight spaces while offering all the functionality needed for professional lighting control. With the release of grandMA3 onPC software version 1.7, the parameter count of this node was upgraded from 2,048 to 4,096, providing even more control for your lighting systems. Compact yet powerful, this node ensures smooth and reliable signal distribution across your DMX network, making it an ideal choice for demanding installations.
