Description Technical data

Two pixel ports, controlled via USB or network

The MADRIX® NEBULA converts Art-Net, sACN or USB into SPI data for pixel LEDs. It connects to a computer running the MADRIX software via USB and receives Art-Net and sACN on the network.

Is this right for my project?

What the NEBULA is made for

Small to medium pixel setups with up to two runs, such as counters, logos, trade fair walls or decorative objects
Working with the MADRIX software: USB cable to the computer and you are done
Network setups with Art-Net or sACN, several devices daisy-chained via the second network port
Installation in a control cabinet on a 35 mm DIN rail or wall mounting

Not suitable for

More than two runs or several thousand pixels: choose the Art-Net/E1.31 controllers with more outputs
Shows without a running computer or console: a recording and playback device such as the MADRIX AURA is made for that
Outdoor mounting: the housing is rated IP20

Also required: a power supply matching your pixel voltage (5 V to 24 V), the pixels themselves and, for operation with MADRIX 5, a licence on a MADRIX KEY. The NEBULA does not include a licence.

2 × 1,020RGB pixels per port (firmware 6.00 and later)

70+supported pixel ICs

5–24 Vsupply voltage DC

90 × 70mm footprint, DIN rail

USB or network

USB 2.0: direct connection to the MADRIX software
Two RJ45 ports: Art-Net (I, II, 3, 4, incl. ArtSync) and sACN (E1.31); the second port continues to the next device
RDM responder via ArtRdm

Two SPI ports for pixels with and without clock

Each port carries GND, DATA, CLOCK and V+ on a 4-pin plug terminal
Single- and two-wire pixel ICs, including WS2812B, WS2813, WS2815, APA102; further ICs are added via firmware updates according to the manufacturer
Per port 1,020 RGB, 768 RGBW or 3,072 single-channel LEDs from firmware 6.00; with older firmware 680 RGB per port

Common key data

Power: 5–24 V DC via screw terminal or 5 V via USB, power consumption below 1.5 W
Network: 2 × RJ45 with daisy chain to the next device, 10/100 Mbit/s
Housing: 90 × 70 × 46 mm, IP20, operation −10 °C to 70 °C
Configuration via the built-in web configuration page, 5 status and 4 network LEDs, can be switched off

Manufacturer data MADRIX.

Connection

Up and running in three steps

Power. Connect a power supply matching the pixel voltage (5–24 V DC) to the screw terminal. The terminal is rated for up to 12 A, each pixel port for up to 6 A (manufacturer data).
Connect the pixels. Run to port 1 or 2: GND, DATA, with clocked pixels also CLOCK, and V+.
Control. Connect to the MADRIX software via USB or to the network and send Art-Net/sACN. Set pixel type and universes on the device's web configuration page.

Power-hungry runs need an additional power injection directly on the run, depending on length. Suitable power supplies and xConnect® cabling are in our range.

Frequently asked questions

Is a MADRIX licence included?

No. The NEBULA is hardware only. For operation with MADRIX 5 you need a MADRIX 5 licence on a MADRIX KEY.

Do I also need a power supply?

Yes. The NEBULA passes power to the pixels via the ports but does not generate it. The power supply depends on your pixel voltage, 5 to 24 V.

How many pixels can the NEBULA handle?

From firmware 6.00 up to 1,020 RGB pixels per port, i.e. 2,040 in total. With older firmware it is 680 per port. With many pixels at full brightness, current is often the limit first: up to 6 A per port.

Can I daisy-chain several NEBULAs?

Yes. The second network port passes the network on to the next device, so not every device needs its own cable to the switch.
