Description
Two DMX universes from the network, with RDM
The MADRIX® STELLA converts Art-Net or sACN directly into DMX512 and outputs two universes, optionally also as input. It works with MADRIX 5 as well as a regular node with other consoles, controllers and software.
Is this right for my project?
What the STELLA is made for
- Connecting classic DMX fixtures, dimmers or pixel controllers with DMX input to an Art-Net or sACN network
- Feeding DMX signals from a console into the network, the ports can also be used as inputs
- Setting up and monitoring fixtures via RDM, up to 170 RDM devices per port
- Installation in a control cabinet on a 35 mm DIN rail or wall mounting
Not suitable for
- More than two universes on one device: then the STELLA 8 with eight ports
- Pixel LEDs directly without a DMX controller: that is what the NEBULA with SPI ports is for
- Outdoor mounting: the housing is rated IP20
Good to know: according to the manufacturer, RDM devices on the STELLA are automatically licensed for MADRIX RADAR; you do not need a RADAR fusion licence for these devices.
2DMX ports, each input or output
1,024DMX channels (2 universes)
170RDM devices per port
90 × 70mm footprint, DIN rail

DMX out, DMX in
- Two DMX ports via pluggable screw terminals, each port configurable as output or input
- Art-Net (I, II, 3, 4, including ArtSync) and sACN (E1.31) according to the official protocol specification
- USB 2.0 for direct connection to MADRIX 5

RDM on board
- Detects up to 170 RDM devices per port
- Address and monitor fixtures remotely, also with MADRIX RADAR
- Configuration via the built-in web configuration page, 9 status LEDs can be switched off
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. 5–24 V DC to the screw terminal or 5 V via USB.
- Connect DMX. The DMX cables to the two 3-pin terminals of the ports.
- Set up. On the web configuration page set direction and universe for each port, then send Art-Net or sACN.
The STELLA outputs DMX, not SPI pixel data. Pixel LEDs need a DMX-capable pixel controller behind it.
Scope of delivery
- MADRIX STELLA
- Pluggable screw terminals (2 × 3-pin, 1 × 2-pin)
- USB 2.0 cable
- 2 wall-mount brackets
- Quick start guide
Frequently asked questions
Does the STELLA also work without MADRIX?
Yes. According to the manufacturer it complies with the official protocol specifications and can be used as a regular node with other consoles, controllers and software.
Do I need a RADAR licence for RDM devices on the STELLA?
No. According to the manufacturer, RDM devices on the STELLA are automatically licensed for MADRIX RADAR. You only need a fusion licence for devices on nodes from other manufacturers.
How does the STELLA differ from the STELLA 8?
The STELLA has two DMX ports, the STELLA 8 has eight, plus faster network ports, USB‑C and power via PoE.
