Take your project to the next level with the MADRIX ORION A/D Converter | Signal Conversion Solutionfrom MADRIX, an analog-to-digital DMX converter specifically designed to act as a general-purpose input device. Easily convert any analog input signal ranging from 0 to 12V into an 8- or 16-bit digital DMX output signal. The ORION outputs Art-Net or sACN (streaming ACN) over an Ethernet network for remote control and interactivity. This versatile unit brings eight inputs and then goes further by adding DIN rail or wall mounting possibilities. MADRIX includes a set of pluggable screw terminals, a USB cable, and two wall mounting brackets.

The ORION features eight versatile inputs that receive analog signals from 0-12V, enabling 8- or 16-bit digital DMX conversion. Sample incoming signals instantly and map all inputs individually up to eight or 16 DMX channels per device.

Users can easily create interactive elements for their projects by directly connecting to a wide range of compatible sensors, potentiometers, switches, and triggers. They can also include sensors for light, temperature, passive infrared, and many more. Each of the ORION's inputs can be individually set as analog-IN, digital-IN, counter, and other useful functions.

Two main 6-pin ports are available with four individual pins each as well as GND and V+.

Versatile control options include Art-Net, sACN (streaming ACN), or USB. Send the output signal over long or short distances to any compatible software or hardware controller. In addition, users can simply connect to the MADRIX 5 software over USB.

Improve your cable management with two Ethernet ports that allow for separate network connections, as well as linearly daisy-chaining multiple devices together.

Q: 5. Will this work to convert an NTSC A/V pool feed to PAL? So, NTSC signal in over SDI, PAL out over SDI?

A: Yes, It work went you convert from i59.94 to i50 or p50.

Q: 6. Can this take a 16:9 HDMI source and de-squeeze it to 4:3 and output to HDMI?

A: Hello friend, yes, this equipment can do the conversion you asked, moreover, this equipment is excellent, we use 2 units in our television operations here in Brazil.

Q: 7. is this a 4:4:4 , 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 unit?

A: There is no such thing as 4:2:0 baseband video.

Q: 8. Can this take a 1080 24psf signal from a Sony Camera and scale it to regular 1080 24p output to a monitor?

A: Yes it can.

Q: 9. Can the MD-HX convert higher than average framerates, I.E. 120/240/480 down to much lower ones like 30 or 24 fps? I understand that this can act as a framerate converter, but is there a max to how high of a framerate it can convert? Thanks!

A: This small box is just meant for conversion of basic frame rates and for HDMI/SDI conversion. It cannot handle frame rates over 60FPS.
