MADRIX NEBULA

MADRIX NEBULA is a flexible LED pixel tape driver to directly control a wide range of digital LEDs.

Developed and made in Germany.

New Second Generation:

2 Ethernet Ports and Daisy-Chain Support!

New firmware 2.0:

Streaming ACN, Channel Offset, Channel Order, Output In Case Of Connection Loss, and more!

The MADRIX NEBULA directly connects to your LED pixels. This advanced SPI decoder receives control data over Ethernet network or USB and is built to provide excellent image quality.

SPI Converter & Direct Connection

Directly connect to a wide range of supported LEDs via two 4-pin screw terminals. A signal frequency of up to 24 MHz is available. Supply power over USB or 5 V to 24 V over a 2-pin screw terminal.

Quality Output Of 8 Universes

Each device drives up to 1,360 RGB pixels while ensuring responsive delivery of high-quality signals to each individual LED. You can choose the output protocol separately for each of the two ports.

Art-Net / Streaming ACN / USB

Network data is directly converted to SPI without the need for an additional interface. Reliably distribute data from any compatible software or hardware controller. In addition, simply connect to MADRIX 5 over USB.

Sync Mode & Daisy-Chain Support

MADRIX 5 and MADRIX hardware allow you to fully synchronize Art-Net data for all ports and across devices to get an optimal image on the LEDs without visual interruptions. 2 Ethernet ports allow linearly daisy-chaining several devices together.

Designed For DIN Rails Or Walls

Its non-conductive enclosure and standardized design for 35 mm top-hat rails make mounting quick, easy, and safe. 2 extra brackets are provided for optional wall mounting. 9 indicators quickly show the device status with the option to turn them off.

Invaluable Features

The device is ready within seconds after startup. HTP merging is automatically available for two Ethernet sources. Its firmware is upgradable. Access and change specific device settings using the built-in web configuration page.
