MA Lighting 2Port Node

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 sets an additional benchmark in MA Lighting’s networking product range as it features the 1Gbit/s bandwidth capability. It allows the conversion of Ethernet data into DMX or vice versa and fits perfectly into the grandMA2 system and its MA-Net2 protocol, which is based on this high speed to ensure maximum performance. Optimised for touring and installation purposes, all products have a rugged steel housing for a long life even under harsh conditions. The Nodes offer 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 MA xPort 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. Furthermore all MA xPort Nodes are available as an onPC version, more details at MA onPC solutions.

The MA 2Port Node is the perfect solution for converting a small amount of DMX universes at the same location. The MA 2Port Node is available in different fittings for adapting to multiple applications. First there is the basic version based on a 9"/1HU housing, where all connectors are located on the back. Additionally an add-on fitting is available to mount this basic version into a 19" rack. Second a special fitting can be used where all connectors on the back of the MA 2Port Node are mirrored on an additional front panel for an easier access when rackmounted. Third possibility is to combine two MA 2Port Node for rack use by adding rack mounting brackets and a special threaded fastener between the two single MA 2Port Node units. Fourth option is the additionally available rigging plate for mounting couplers or clamps on the MA 2Port Node. The two DMX outputs as well as the main switch, one powerCON and one etherCON connector are located at the rearside of the Node.
