MADRIX STELLA 8

The 8-port flagship controller with RDM support for ultimate control over DMX.

 Take Control Like Never Before       

MADRIX STELLA 8 combines incredible features for DMX512 and RDM into a single DIN-rail controller that easily copes with high bandwidths in data-intensive lighting-control networks.

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. The device supports:

• Art-Net (Unicast, Broadcast, Or Both) (Incl. ArtSync)

• Streaming ACN (sACN) (Unicast Or Multicast)

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.

On top, the device supports fast 1 GBit/s speeds.
