Overview
The grandMA3 onPC 8Port Node 4k is the largest node in MA's range. It outputs eight synchronised DMX universes in any grandMA3 system from a 19 inch 1RU housing, and enables 4,096 parameters in grandMA3 onPC.
It can be powered entirely by PoE, handles MA-Net3, MA-Net2, sACN and Art-Net, is fully RDM compliant and has a 3.9 inch colour display on the front. It suits central DMX distribution racks in theatres and TV studios, and festival touring racks that need flexible patching.

Forefront Tip
In a dimmer room or touring rack, one 8Port node and a PoE switch replace a pile of DMX splitters. Label each output with its universe and keep a spare node in the system so a failed line can be repatched from the console in minutes.
