The MA 2Port Node supplements the MA Lighting product range for networking and integrated system solutions and provides a tool for converting ethernet-data to DMX-data and vice versa.
The MA 2Port Nodes will be available in two different versions for DMX distribution in fixed installations: One that will fit into a 80mm 'Flush-mounted' box (European version) while the 'US version' will fit into a two-gang-box. Both versions are available in three socket configurations: two DMX input connectors, two DMX output connectors or one in- and one output connector. For flexible and mobile use there is also a special 'MA 2Port Node onPC' available, that even outputs DMX in combination with grandMA2 onPC and grandMA onPC.
The MA 2Port Nodes will run with power over Ethernet (PoE) or external Power Supply. Two green LEDs will indicate if DMX traffic is generated. Both, DMX LEDs and Backlight, can be switched off remotely. The 'Finder Functionality' will give you an elegant Solution and way of working the console can indicate a chosen node by flashing the backlight, but also a button press on the MA 2Port Node will indicate the chosen one in the console.
All MA 2Port Nodes are fully integrated into the MA System. That means easy, comfortable configuration incl. in/out assignment of each node from any grandMA console or grandMA2 onPC/ grandMA onPC. It's also possible to use the nodes with other systems, because they speak MA-Net2/MA-Net and Art-Net, which can be chosen remotely.

MA Lighting
The company was founded in 1983 by Michael Adenau (MA) and enjoys strong growth from the very beginning until today. More than 10,000 MA control desks are being used all over
the world and MA´s digital dimming systems have become an industry standard.
The success accelerated in 1985, when software specialist Ernst Ebrecht joined MA Lighting as a partner. In this period MA
introduced the Lightcommander 24 and Lightcommander 48 control desks.
When launched in 1992 the MA Scancommander caused a huge stir in the burgeoning world of moving light control. This product established MA Lighting as a leading innovator of lighting control for the global touring and event sector. Leading producers of intelligent lighting showed great interest in MA's new operating philosophy, which radically differed from the historical "dimmer -oriented" control systems of that time.
In the spring of 1998 MA showed the world the eagerly awaited grandMA console. This hybrid lighting control console brought a new level of hardware sophistication to the lighting world. The full color touch screens, motorized faders, built in UPS (uninterruptible power supply) and hard drive were only the beginning.
The summer of 2000 saw the launch of a host of new products from MA, the grandMA light, the grandMA replay unit and the grandMA offline editor. In the autumn of 2001, the grandMA range will be completed with the introduction of the grandMA ultra-light. The ultra-light has 1,024 channels but retains the main features of a grandMA at a very competitive price.
Today, MA Lighting are well known for their technical know-how and have achieved an unique international reputation for its operational philosophy. MA´s award-winning products are extremely reliable and offer cutting-edge solutions for
dimming and control.
Organizational Structure
This story of success is strongly based on the teamwork between MA and Lightpower. Lightpower, located in Paderborn, is handling the international distribution of MA products since 1987. The two companies work very closely together and, through their respective roles, have made each other stronger. Production, and research & development are located in MA´s modern
headquarters in Waldbuettelbrunn. For marketing, sales and technical support Lightpower has founded a new subsidiary: MA Lighting International. All of these activities are coordinated in their Paderborn facilities.
