Using A 3rd-Party Controller

MADRIX ORION is a standard network node for Art-Net or Streaming ACN. Because of this, you can use the device with applications, consoles, desks, or controllers that are compatible with Art-Net or Streaming ACN to receive data via Ethernet network.

 

 

LED Status Codes

The following tables describe the LED status codes of the device.

 

 

Daisy-Chain Support

The device features 2 separate Ethernet network ports. Either one is fully functionally for IN and OUT and can be used for the data connection without using a separate network switch or router.

Please note:

▪It is recommended to connect a maximum of 8 units after one another in a row.

▪It is important to set up the correct network universe where each device should send data to.

▪If all devices should send to the same universe, it is important to set up the correct DMX channels for each port and device.

▪ORION always sends data on the configured universe and channels unless the ports are deactivated.
Make sure that several devices do not send data on the same DMX channels!

▪Make sure to receive data in unicast mode in your receiver.
