Standalone recording and playback
MADRIX AURA is a palm-sized player that records the light show to an SD card and plays it without a computer; its clock and sunrise and sunset timers start shows automatically.

In permanent facade lighting, a computer does not need to stay on to play the show every night. The effects are designed in MADRIX 5 and recorded to AURA; AURA takes over from there. The device is ready a few seconds after power-on and plays the encrypted scenes on the SD card.
AURA records the Art-Net or sACN stream on the network directly to the card. All you have to do is start recording while the show plays in MADRIX 5; no conversion or export is needed. A stream generated by other software or a console is recorded the same way.
Thanks to the internal clock and the sunrise and sunset timers, the lights switch on automatically in the evening, move to a different scene at night and switch off in the morning. On special days, scenes are changed via HTTP commands, over Art-Net or sACN, or with a button connected to MADRIX ORION.
Several AURA units can be linked; thanks to master–slave sync, all universes play simultaneously and without interruption. AURA sends data over the network and reaches the luminaires through nodes such as STELLA, LUNA or NEBULA.

If you can't find the answer to your question, write to our technical team; let's evaluate it together for your project.
Only the number of universes that can be played and recorded: 2, 12 or 32 universes (1,024, 6,144 or 16,384 DMX channels). The housing, settings and other features are the same.
You prepare the new scene in MADRIX 5 and record it to AURA, or upload the scene file to the card via USB or Ethernet with MADRIX HARDWARE MANAGER. The device does not need to be removed.
No. AURA sends data over the network as Art-Net or sACN. DMX512 luminaires are reached with STELLA or LUNA, SPI pixels with NEBULA; nodes from other brands can also be used.
Yes. Thanks to the internal clock and the sunrise and sunset timers, different scenes play at different times; the lights switch on automatically in the evening and off in the morning.
