Workflows

The direct upload and download in the web browser, for example, allows you to:

Upload new Scene Files and afterwards to add them to the Cue List and configure those cues as needed.
 

Download a backup copy of all current Scene Files and the accompanying Show Configuration; before making any new changes.
Should the new changes be unfavorable, you can upload the backup copy again to restore the previous state.

Download all current Scene Files and the accompanying Show Configuration from a device that seems faulty or shows incorrect behavior to a replacement unit.

Offer programming services to a client of yours by adding to an existing show or playlist or create new Scenes and a new Cue List for the client on your device first, and finally upload them to their device in an easy way.

Use a PC/computer/laptop that is not using the Windows operating system [which is required to run the MADRIX HARDWARE MANAGER Software], but instead  using a normal web browser on such a machine for the upload of files.

Avoid having to use the MADRIX HARDWARE MANAGER on a dedicated remote PC/computer/laptop over a VPN connection to supply new files to devices; now the connection over VPN and a normal web browser is enough.

 

MADRIX 3.04.
