STELLA - 2-port network node with RDM support, Art-Net Node / USB 2.0 DMX-512 interface, 2 x DMX IN/OUT, DIN rail

2-port network node with RDM support, Art-Net Node / USB 2.0 DMX-512 interface, 2 x DMX IN/OUT, DIN rail

Developed and manufactured in Germany, MADRIX STELLA is a dedicated DIN rail mount control interface for Art-Net and DMX-512 designed for high quality and convenience in permanent LED installations. Art-Net or ACN Streaming data is converted directly to DMX512. Optimize for short distances to your LEDs and decentralize cabling to cover any distance to the device using Ethernet network.

Supply power over USB or 5 V to 24 V over a 2-pin screw terminal. Directly connect DMX-512 to the two 3-pin screw terminals to distribute 2 DMX universes per unit as input and/or output, eliminating the need for XLR connectors as a result. Simply use several units at the same time for larger projects.

MADRIX software and hardware allow you to fully synchronize Art-Net data for all output ports and across multiple devices to get an optimal image on the LEDs without visual interruptions.

Designed for DIN rails or walls, its non-conductive enclosure and standardized design for 35 mm top-hat rails make mounting quick, easy, and safe. 2 extra brackets are provided for optional wall mounting. 6 indicators quickly show the device status with the option to turn them off.

MADRIX STELLA complies with the official Art-Net specifications and can be used as a regular Art-Net unit with your other consoles, controllers, or software solutions. The device is ready within seconds after startup.
HTP Merging is automatically available for two Art-Net sources. Its firmware is upgradable. The web configuration page allows you to access and change device-specific settings.
