Recorder player stand-alone 32 universes DIN rail - MADRIX MAD-IA-HW-001026

MADRIX AURA 32 is a stand-alone recorder/player with 32 universes available over the network, intended for DIN rail mounting. It serves as a central controller for straightforward show recording and large-scale pixel mapping, combining these functions in a compact control unit with high performance. Stand-alone playback runs complex lighting shows independently through Art-Net or Streaming ACN, with energy-efficient operation.

Compatible MADRIX hardware interfaces or third-party nodes can be connected to provide the correct output for the lighting fixtures. Multiple AURA units can operate in Master/Slave mode, providing synchronisation and scalability for large installations: the entire group is automatically coordinated across all DMX universes for continuous, uninterrupted playback. The 8 buttons on the unit provide quick playback and recording control, while also allowing direct adjustment of overall speed and brightness.

AURA 32 records any Art-Net or Streaming ACN network stream onto the inserted memory card and plays shows back directly from it. With MADRIX 5, recording is started using the Record and Play commands. For time-controlled shows, the internal clock together with sunrise and sunset timers starts scenes automatically. The integrated web configuration page allows the IP address, subnet mask, playlist settings and other device settings to be edited. Remote control can be triggered through HTTP commands and the integrated web server or through Art-Net / sACN; MADRIX ORION can be added for interactive installations. Areas of use include permanent installations in theatres, auditoriums and museums, live events, large-scale pixel mapping and light shows.
