MADRIX ORION A/D Converter

MADRIX Orion Overview

Take your project to the next level with the ORION A/D Converter from MADRIX, an analog-to-digital DMX converter specifically designed to act as a general-purpose input device. Easily convert any analog input signal ranging from 0 to 12V into an 8- or 16-bit digital DMX output signal. The ORION outputs Art-Net or sACN (streaming ACN) over an Ethernet network for remote control and interactivity. This versatile unit brings eight inputs and then goes further by adding DIN rail or wall mounting possibilities. MADRIX includes a set of pluggable screw terminals, a USB cable, and two wall mounting brackets.

Powerful A/D Converter

The ORION features eight versatile inputs that receive analog signals from 0-12V, enabling 8- or 16-bit digital DMX conversion. Sample incoming signals instantly and map all inputs individually up to eight or 16 DMX channels per device.

8 Versatile Inputs/Output

Users can easily create interactive elements for their projects by directly connecting to a wide range of compatible sensors, potentiometers, switches, and triggers. They can also include sensors for light, temperature, passive infrared, and many more. Each of the ORION s inputs can be individually set as analog-IN, digital-IN, counter, and other useful functions.

Direct Connection

Two main 6-pin ports are available with four individual pins each as well as GND and V+.

Art-Net, Streaming ACN & USB

Versatile control options include Art-Net, sACN (streaming ACN), or USB. Send the output signal over long or short distances to any compatible software or hardware controller. In addition, users can simply connect to the MADRIX 5 software over USB.

Daisy Chain Support

Improve your cable management with two Ethernet ports that allow for separate network connections, as well as linearly daisy-chaining multiple devices together.
