ThegrandMA3 8Port Node PoEis the largest Ethernet to DMX converter from MA Lighting. Specifically designed to synchronously output 8 DMX universes from any grandMA3 session, the 19, 1RU housing is suitable for touring and fixed installations.

The PoE version (Power over Ethernet) offers a simple and fast solution for power supply.

Every grandMA3 xPort Node is designed for the ever-increasing demands in touring and fixed installation applications to build a reliable and stable backbone of synchronized data transportation. All Nodes are remotely configurable from any console or onPC station within the session to provide easy access to DMX output or DMX input.

Furthermore, all grandMA3 xPort Nodes are available as an onPC version to provide parameters for standalone onPC stations (for more details see: grandMA3 onPC solutions).

Every grandMA3 xPort Node is capable of handling MA-Net3, MA-Net2, sACN and Art-Net data and is fully RDM compliant. A 3.9″ color display on the front face allows for simple configuration and provides a quick overview of the status of each Node.

All grandMA3 xPort Nodes are equipped with a powerful processor and a 1000Mbit/s Ethernet connection to ensure the most reliable and stable Ethernet to DMX and vice versa conversion.

The grandMA3 xPort Nodes are high quality solutions that can handle busy Ethernet connections without ditching DMX or RDM messages.

It has never been easier to design and maintain stable DMX capable networks.
