GrandMA2 NPU Network Processing Unit
The MA NPU (Network Processing Unit) unites the calculation power in the network and offers the same performance as the grandMA2 consoles. The MA NPU offers and handles 4,096 parameters. With an easy-to-read touchscreen, the MA NPU allows intuitive use and easy access to all the important information. 8 x DMX XLR 5-pin connectors on the rear side of the MA NPU allow for the most flexible use within the network environment.
The MA NPU is the link between Ethernet and DMX-controlled devices. The MA NPU adds processing power and parameters to the MA system. The MA NPU converts incoming Ethernet data into DMX data for decentralized DMX networks. The converted data are transmitted via eight independent DMX connectors, which can be configured as DMX inputs or outputs. Within a network, several grandMA2 consoles share the available MA NPU devices. For parameter expansion, the MA NPU shall be centralized, whereas MA xPort Nodes are used to distribute and output DMX data. This allows DMX devices to be used by several consoles together, and it provides a redundant mode of operation without additional components such as DMX mergers.
