The MA NPU unites the computing power in the network and offers the same performance as the grandMA2 consoles. The MA NPU offers and manages 4,096 parameters.

The MA NPU is the link between the Ethernet and DMX controlled devices. The MA NPU adds processing power and parameters to the MA system. For decentralized DMX networks, the MA NPU converts incoming Ethernet data into DMX data. The converted data is transmitted through 8 independent DMX connectors, which can be configured as DMX inputs or outputs.

Within a network, multiple grandMA2 consoles share the available MA NPU devices. For parameter expansion, the MA NPU must be located in a centralized position, while the MA xPort nodes are used to distribute and output DMX data. This allows DMX fixtures to be used by multiple consoles together, and provides a redundant mode of operation without additional components such as DMX mergers.
