Used MA Lighting MA 2Port Node onPC PRO

The MA Lighting MA 2Port Node onPC PRO converts Ethernet data into DMX data and vice versa, providing 1,024 parameters of DMX output. It integrates fully into the MA System via MA-Net2, MA-Net, sACN and Art-Net, and can also operate in stand-alone mode with any compatible MA-Net2, sACN or Art-Net system. Remote configuration, including input and output assignment, is handled from any grandMA console or grandMA2 onPC.

The key difference is parameter count. The standard MA 2Port Node onPC outputs 512 parameters of DMX, while the PRO version doubles that to 1,024 parameters. Both share the same rig-mounted form factor, Power over Ethernet support and MA System integration, but the PRO suits applications where a higher DMX parameter ceiling is needed.

The MA 2Port Node onPC PRO is designed for use alongside grandMA2 onPC, where it functions as a show controller for smaller productions or as a backup solution for reduced budgets. It also supports stand-alone operation with MA-Net2, sACN and Art-Net systems. Its rig-mounted box format makes it well suited to truss installations and mobile applications.

The MA 2Port Node onPC PRO is made by MA Lighting International GmbH, a German manufacturer founded in 1983 and known for the grandMA family of lighting consoles and networking products. The 2Port Node onPC PRO sits within MA Lighting's networking and node range, acting as the higher-parameter companion to the standard 2Port Node onPC and integrating directly with grandMA2 onPC and grandMA consoles.

Confirm the unit powers up via both its internal supply and, if needed, Power over Ethernet. Check that both DMX ports function correctly and that network protocol settings (MA-Net2, sACN, Art-Net) are accessible and resettable. Verify the full 1,024-parameter output is operational rather than locked to a lower figure.
