Page 4: General Description
1. General Description The MAX-08 MODUS is a multifunctional controller featuring 8 outputs, a 2x50W audio player, a DMX output, 8 trigger inputs, an Ethernet port, and an internal Artnet signal recorder. The main function of the controller is to program work scenarios so that all its outputs and audio files from the SD card are activated and played synchronously in time. - Page 5 MAX8 DevManager program, making parameter settings quick and useful, especially when the device is installed in hard-to- reach places. The MAX-08 is compatible with other Art Control System MODUS devices, allowing the creation of control systems for most interactive lighting, AV control, and game triggering projects.
