More details from MA Lighting (www.malighting.com):
The MA Lighting grandMA2 is renowned for lighting network stability. The existing 1Gbit MA 4Port and 8Port Nodes are ideal for networks where large quantities of frame-synchronous DMX need to be distributed. MA Lighting are now pleased to announce a matching 1Gbit 2Port Node range which fits perfectly into the MA system ensuring maximum performance via the MA-Net2 protocol.
The MA 2Port Nodes are optimized for touring and installations purposes with rugged steel housing for a long life even under harsh conditions. The front panel offers a 2″ color screen as well as current status LEDs. The mains switch and all connectors are located on the rear.
Available with and without control parameters, all MA 2Port Nodes are fully configurable from the grandMA2 consoles or from grandMA2 onPC software. To achieve the highest flexibility, each DMX port can be individually configured as DMX in or DMX out.
For use in combination with the grandMA2 onPC software, the MA 2Port Nodes are available in 1,024 and 2,048 parameter versions for standalone use or combined with the MA onPC command wing and MA onPC fader wing for parameter expansion.
A range of accessories is available to facilitate front or rear connections and all rack mounting and truss rigging combinations. There are also specific 2/4Port Node Power over Ethernet installation versions in development which should be available later this year.
