Eight port controller - Art-Net / DMX 8 port LED controller for SPI stage light support and 485 remote transmission

Art-Net / DMX 8 port LED controller for SPI stage light support and 485 remote transmission

8 Port Art-Net / DMX LED controller. Based on the Ethernet network driver of the Art-Net protocol, this unit can convert Art-Net protocol network data packets to standard DMX512 or SPI.

There are two control modes: Art-Net and SD card, which can perform effect recording and can be used offline; supports SPI+485 remote transmission with a distance of up to 200 m. Thanks to this type of protocol, it is possible to transmit images or animations directly to the individual LEDs for the creation of cutting-edge LED strip scenography.

It has 8 x XLR output connectors, 1 x RJ45 network port for input and a second port for cascade connection with other identical units. MAD-show master control software.

It can act as a DMX recorder, while if controlled via DMX it is possible to recall one of the 31 preset effects; in this way it can be used to control light fixtures in clubs, bars or small discos where there is not necessarily an expert technician available.
