Features
Stand-Alone Playback
Independently run the most sophisticated light shows from this energy-efficient playback unit via Art-Net or Streaming ACN. Easily control up to 2, 8, or 32 universes per device.
Central Hub
Simply connect compatible MADRIX hardware interfaces or third-party nodes to provide the correct output for your lighting fixtures.
Master-Slave Synchronization & Scalability
Manage large projects simply by connecting several units. The entire group is automatically synchronized across all DMX universes for flawless and uninterrupted playback.
Live Control
Encased in a non-conductive design for DIN rails or wall mounting, 8 on-device buttons allow for quick playback and recording control. You can also directly adjust the overall speed and intensity.
Live Recording
Record any Art-Net or Streaming ACN network stream onto the inserted memory card. Recording a beautiful light show with MADRIX 5 is as easy as pressing record and play.
Time-Controlled Shows
Run scenes automatically with the help of the internal clock as well as the available sunrise and sunset timers.
Web Configuration
Use the built-in web configuration page to access and change specific device settings, such as the important IP address, universes, playlist settings, and much more.
Remote Control
Trigger MADRIX AURA via user-definable HTTP commands and the built-in web server or use Art-Net/sACN. You can even add MADRIX ORION for interactive installations.
Connectivity
2x RJ45 Ethernet ports, 1x SD-Card slot, 1x USB port and 1x Power via pluggable screw terminal.
