Introduction

You can receive data in MADRIX 5 through various ways. That means you can use another controller or device:

▪to send data to the software and use this data.

▪to send commands to the software for Remote Control.

▪to route incoming data onto your output [also know as Mapping/Merging/DMX-Thru].

 

 

Topics Of This Chapter

There are several possibilities for input and remote control:

▪»DMX-IN
Several protocols are implemented into MADRIX 5 for remote control over DMX-IN. Any DMX console or desk can easily be used then to gain full control over the software.

▪»Art-Net Remote
The Art-Net protocol includes Art-Net Remote. In this way, you can use a console for example to access certain software features remotely.
