You can use the device with any compatible software, console, or controller.
See chapter 'Technical Specifications' on p. 4 for detailed information.
Using The MADRIX ® 5 Software
MADRIX ® 5 is a professional and advanced LED lighting control software. It
supports Art-Net and Streaming ACN; among many other communication
protocols. It is recommended for usage in combination with MADRIX
® NEBULA,
but only required if you would like to send or receive data over USB.

Please note: In order to send out data via MADRIX ® NEBULA using
MADRIX ® 5, a MADRIX ® 5 software license is required (sold separately)!
Daisy-Chain Support
MADRIX ® NEBULA features 2 separate Ethernet network ports. Either one is fully
functional for IN and OUT. They can also be used for the data connection in daisy-
chain manner without using a separate network switch or router.
We recommend to connect a maximum of 40 units after one another in a row,
when using Art-Net in Unicast Mode or Streaming ACN Multicast at a max. data
rate of 50 FPS / 20 ms without any additional devices connected to this network
line. In the MADRIX
® 5 Software, we highly recommend to activate 'ArtSync' for
excellent image quality (see p. 17).
