Features
High-Quality Ethernet Node – eDMX
MADRIX STELLA 8 provides extremely useful features and high performance for complete lighting control.
8 DMX-OUT – Art-Net To DMX / sACN To DMX
Assign control data to the 8 physical ports for DMX output over 3-pin screw terminals.
8 DMX-IN – DMX To Art-Net / DMX To sACN
Receive control data as DMX-IN and send it back out as eDMX (Art-Net, sACN, or both). Each of the 8 ports can automatically or manually be set to receive input.
Customizable Booster / Merger / Splitter
Easily refresh, combine, or duplicate incoming signals.
Ultimate Real-Time Merging
Combine data streams, directly processed with 0 delay, to create a single output signal via a highly adaptable system with automatic or manual HTP/LTP merging from up to 8 sources.
1 GBit/s Network & PoE – Power Over Ethernet
Simply deliver power to the device over Ethernet.
Seamless Integration Of Art-Net & RDM
RDM is fully supported over Art-Net, including ArtRdm, all other required packets, and full and continued discovery of RDM devices. Use MADRIX STELLA 8 and MADRIX RADAR together for additional benefits.
