Overview
The grandMA3 onPC 2Port Node 2k is MA's entry level node. It converts Ethernet to DMX and outputs two synchronised DMX universes in any grandMA3 system, and connected to a computer it enables 4,096 parameters in grandMA3 onPC so you can control fixtures straight away.
It sits in a 9.5 inch 1RU housing with a 3.9 inch colour display, can run entirely on PoE, handles MA-Net3, MA-Net2, sACN and Art-Net and is fully RDM compliant. It suits small venues, churches, schools and touring racks that need a couple of DMX lines at the stage end.

Forefront Tip
Power the node from a PoE switch and you only need one network cable to the truss or rack position. Name each node in the grandMA3 session and set its universes from the console, then use the front display to check status when you are on site. Two 2Port nodes fit side by side in one 1RU space with the MA rack mounting kit.
