Introduction
Stand-Alone Mode is an important feature of the MADRIX PLEXUS. 1x DMX-OUT, 2x DMX-OUT, or Art-Net is available in Stand-Alone Mode.
Normally, a computer runs the MADRIX software live and thereby controls the LED installation. In contrast, the Stand-Alone Mode of the MADRIX PLEXUS can be used to control LED installations without the need for a computer during the show.
The PLEXUS can use an SD card (SD or SDHC) on which a Stand-Alone Show can be saved. But first, it is necessary to create such a Stand-Alone Show.
Please note: When shipped, the SD card of the PLEXUS will already have a sample show on it.
Please read the following chapter carefully in order to learn how to create a MADRIX PLEXUS Stand-Alone Show.
Basic Workflow (Step By Step)
In order to create a show file, please follow these steps:
(Details are given in the next chapters for each step.)

Create a PLEXUS Configuration. This will be your Stand-Alone Show!
(In MADRIX, use the PLEXUS Configuration window for this task.)
