MaNima Interface

The State of the Art LED Interface

Recording and Playing

The MaNima Magnus is able to record

and play up to 26 universes according to

the WYSIWYG principle.

ArtNet

The MaNima Magnus can be controlled

via ArtNet V1.4. The interface is easy to

find and use thanks to the ArtPoll

system to configure.

External Inputs

Scenes can be started via external

inputs. These are digital inputs or

analogue inputs; 4-20mA or 0-10V. And

UDP commands.

Reliable and Stable

The MaNima Magnus has been proven

to be a reliable and stable product when

used for high-end LED projects.

Stackable

Connect dozens of MaNima interfaces

together to create huge LED projects

with the least amount of parts.

Synchronization

Multiple MaNima interfaces can

synchronize when playing scenes

through a master- slave setup.

MaNima Magnus

Manual V3.8

EMC Proof Product

All of MaNima's products are EMC proof

and are an ideal choice for use near

EMC vulnerable systems.

Easy-to-use GUI

The settings of the MaNima Magnus can

easily be changed by a user via the

MaNima LED interface configurator.

Multiple Protocols at once

Due to the available multiple ports,

there is also the possibility of sending

different protocols over different ports.

Page 9: Scanner
The scanner is the tab used to search for different MaNima LED Interfaces. Follow the instructions below to configure your own device. Make sure your computer and MaNima Magnus are connected to the same Ethernet/Wi-Fi network! The interface should be in the scanner no matter what IP-adress it has.
Page 10 MaNima Magnus cannot be configurated without a SD-card. Failure to Connect If the MC is unable to find the MaNima Magnus, there are multiple things that may have gone wrong. So, make sure the following is correct: 1. The MaNima Magnus is connected to the same network as the computer.
