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.

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:
1) All RDM devices/sub-devices connected to STELLA 8 are automatically unlocked in the RADAR Software for free,
2) With RADAR, the complete RDM specifications of ANSI E1.20 and ANSI E1.37-1 are available to you over Art-Net,
3) Thanks to STELLA 8's Packet Multitasking, RDM and Art-Net can be sent and received at the same time and during live operation.
