Remote - Remote Control

This topic includes:

Overview

The Remote section includes the configuration for controlling the device remotely. You can trigger MADRIX AURA via HTTP commands and the built-in web server or use Art-Net/sACN.

eDMX Remote Port Settings

▪Applies only to the remote control over Art-Net or Streaming ACN.

▪Confirm and save all changes via Set.

eDMX Port	8 individual ports, i.e. universes, are available for remote control over Art-Net or Streaming ACN. All - Sets the corresponding setting for all ports. Automatically numbers all universes based on the first port [ascending order]. Automatically numbers all universes based on the first port [descending order].
State	Defines the current status of each port. On - Enables the port. Off - Disables the port.
Protocol	Defines the communication standard over Ethernet network. Art-Net - Activates that Art-Net data is sent. sACN - Activates that Streaming ACN data is sent.
Universe	Defines which universe is received on the specific port. ▪By default, ports 1 - 8 are assigned to universes 256 -249. ▪ Automatically numbers all universes based on the first port [ascending order]. [Enter the start universe for port 1, click the button and all other ports will be numbered consecutively.] ▪ Automatically numbers all universes based on the first port [descending order]. [Enter the start universe for port 1, click the button and all other ports will be numbered consecutively.]

Remote Event List

▪Shows all timers that are currently configured.

Control Buttons	Adds a new remote event. Duplicates the currently selected remote event. Moves the currently selected remote event one item up in the list. Moves the currently selected remote event one item down in the list. Removes the currently selected remote event. Removes all remote events from the list. Saves all changes to the SD card. Shows that the configuration has been modified and that there are unsaved changes. Restores the default remote event list and removes all other list items first.
#	Shows the index number of the remote event in the list. Green - Shows that the remote event is enabled [Active]. Red - Shows that the remote event is disabled [Inactive].
Type	Shows the type of communication standard [eDMX, which refers to Ethernet DMX incl. Art-Net or Streaming ACN, or HTTP].
Name	Shows the currently set Event Name of the remote event.

Remote Event Settings

▪Becomes available when a remote command is selected in the list on the left side.

eDMX

Event Name	Allows you to change the individual label of the remote event.
Status	Allows you to set the timer Active or Inactive.
Event Type	Defines the remote source. Choose from eDMX [Ethernet DMX including Art-Net and Streaming ACN], or HTTP.
eDMX Port	Is only available for Event Type eDMX. Defines the universe in which the command should be received. Valid values range from 1 to 8.
Channel	Is only available for Event Type eDMX. Defines the channel on which the command should be received. Can define the start channel of two channels in total depending on which Param. Type is set. Valid values range from 1 to 512.
Param. Type	Is only available for Event Type eDMX. Defines how incoming values are processed. Please note: Not all Param. Types are useful for all Actions. Value Changed - The Action is triggered in case the received value changes. Value Changed (Coarse + Fine) - The Action is triggered in case the received values changes. Hereby, two channels are monitored and added to each other. The first channel is used for coarse values. The second channel is used for fine values. Example: Speed Scaled - Input of 256 DMX channels is mapped to 996 for coarse by using ~4 % speed increase for each 1 DMX value. - Input of 256 DMX channels is mapped to 4 for fine by using DMX values 0 – 65 for 1 % speed increase, 66 – 131 for 2 %, 132 – 196 for 3 %, and 197 – 255 for 4 %. - Together, a total speed of 1000 % can be achieved. Value Changed (Fine + Coarse) - The Action is triggered in case the received values change. Hereby, two channels are monitored and added to each other. The first channel is used for fine values. The second channel is used for coarse values. Value Changed (Medium + Coarse) - The Action is triggered in case the received values change. Hereby, two channels are monitored and added to each other. The first channel is used for medium values. The second channel is used for coarse values. Example: Speed Scaled - Input of 256 DMX channels is mapped to 100 for medium by using 1 % speed increase for every 2 to 3 DMX values. - Input of 256 DMX channels is mapped to 1000 for coarse by using ~4 % speed increase for each 1 DMX value. - Together, a total speed of 1000 % can be achieved. Value Above - The Action is triggered in case the received value is higher than the defined Param. Value. Value Above (Coarse + Fine) - The Action is triggered in case the received value is higher than the defined Param. Value. Hereby, two channels are monitored and added to each other. The first channel is used for coarse values. The second channel is used for fine values. Value Above (Fine + Coarse) - The Action is triggered in case the received value is higher than the defined Param. Value. Hereby, two channels are monitored and added to each other. The first channel is used for fine values. The second channel is used for coarse values. Value Below - The Action is triggered in case the received value is less than the defined Param. Value. Value Below (Coarse + Fine) - The Action is triggered in case the received value is lower than the defined Param. Value. Hereby, two channels are monitored and added to each other. The first channel is used for coarse values. The second channel is used for fine values. Value Below (Fine + Coarse) - The Action is triggered in case the received value is lower than the defined Param. Value. Hereby, two channels are monitored and added to each other. The first channel is used for fine values. The second channel is used for coarse values. Value Range - The Action is triggered in case the received value is within the value range as defined by Param. Value and Param. Value 2. Both values are inclusive, which means higher or equal to the minimum value as well as lower or equal to the maximum. Value Range (Coarse + Fine) - The Action is triggered in case the received value is within the value range as defined by Param. Value and Param. Value 2. Both values are inclusive, which means higher or equal to the minimum value as well as lower or equal to the maximum. Hereby, two channels are monitored and added to each other. The first channel is used for coarse values. The second channel is used for fine values. Value Range (Fine + Coarse) - The Action is triggered in case the received value is within the value range as defined by Param. Value and Param. Value 2. Both values are inclusive, which means higher or equal to the minimum value as well as lower or equal to the maximum. Hereby, two channels are monitored and added to each other. The first channel is used for fine values. The second channel is used for coarse values. Equal To 1 Channel - The Action is triggered once the received value is the same as the defined Param. Value. Equal To 2 Channels (Coarse..Fine) - The Action is triggered once the received value is the same as the defined Param. Value for two channels. Equal To 2 Channels (Fine..Coarse) - The Action is triggered once the received value is the same as the defined Param. Value for two channels.
