The MA 2Port Node onPC can be used in combination with the free-of-charge grandMA2 onPC software running on a computer to provide parameters. Furthermore both MA 2Port Node onPC can be combined with the MA onPC command wing and MA onPC fader wing for parameter expansion.
With the increasing requirements of clients and designers in both fixed installations and events/concerts, the need for sophisticated solutions for signal transportation and data distribution is inevitable. Also, latest technical developments and requirements have to be met. The MA 2Port Node onPC 2k and MA 2Port Node onPC 1K set an additional benchmark in MA Lighting’s networking product range as they feature the 1Gbit capability. They allow the conversion of Ethernet data into DMX or vice versa and fit perfectly into the MA system and its MA-Net2 protocol which is based on this high speed to ensure maximum performance. Optimised for touring and installation purposes, they have a rugged steel housing for a long life even under harsh conditions. The front panel offers a menu button, a USB connector and a 2″ colour TFT as well as LEDs displaying the current status. All of these ensure a comfortable operation. The mains switch is located on the back, along with the powerCON and etherCON connectors, as well as the 2 DMX ports. All MA 2Port Nodes are fully configurable from the grandMA2 consoles or from grandMA2 onPC. To achieve the highest flexibility, each DMX port can be individually configured as DMX in or DMX out. The 2Port Node onPC 2K can be used in combination with the free-of-charge grandMA2 onPC software running on a computer to provide 2,048 parameters. Furthermore the MA 2Port Node onPC 2K and MA 2Port Node onPC 1K can be combined with the MA onPC command wing and MA onPC fader wing for parameter expansion.
