AURA

The advanced lighting-control recorder and stand-alone playback unit.

The MADRIX AURA is the central stand-alone controller for simple recording and large-scale pixel mapping. It redefines what is possible in a compact control unit with exceptional performance.

FEATURES

Stand-Alone Playback

Independently run the most sophisticated light shows from this energy-efficient playback unit via Art-Net or Streaming ACN. Easily control up to 2, 8, or 32 universes per device.

Central Hub

Simply connect compatible MADRIX hardware interfaces or third-party nodes to provide the correct output for your lighting fixtures.

Master-Slave Synchronization & Scalability

Manage large projects simply by connecting several units. The entire group is automatically synchronized across all DMX universes for flawless and uninterrupted playback.

Live Control

Encased in a non-conductive design for DIN rails or wall mounting, 8 on-device buttons allow for quick playback and recording control. You can also directly adjust the overall speed and intensity.

Live Recording

Record any Art-Net or Streaming ACN network stream onto the inserted memory card. Unlike any other solution, recording a beautiful light show with MADRIX 5 is as easy as pressing record and play.

Time-Controlled Shows

Run scenes automatically with the help of the internal clock as well as the available sunrise and sunset timers.

Web Configuration

Use the built-in web configuration page to access and change specific device settings, such as the important IP address, universes, playlist settings, and much more.

Remote Control

Trigger MADRIX AURA via user-definable HTTP commands and the built-in web server or use Art-Net/sACN. You can even add MADRIX ORION for interactive installations.
