Ports

01 – 08	An index number of the ports is provided for easier referencing.
RDM	Allows the device to receive and send Remote Device Management data on the specific port [to act as an RDM Controller]. This means that MADRIX STELLA 8 transmits commands and requests to RDM Responders and back; i.e. connected RDM devices receive instructions. ▪Disable RDM on the specific port, when using STELLA 8 for DMX-IN on this port [to receive DMX data]! ▪Only enable RDM if you wish to use it. Otherwise, disable RDM to avoid any potential issues. See also »Using RDM And MADRIX RADAR
RDM Responders	Shows the number of uniquely identified RDM devices discovered and connected to the controller. ▪This value may change continuously during an active RDM discovery process.
Sending Rate	Shows the current frequency with which the controller is putting data out in FPS [Frames Per Second]. ▪This value may change continuously during operation.
Receiving Rate	Shows the current frequency with which the controller is receiving data in FPS [Frames Per Second]. ▪This value may change continuously during operation.
RDM Rate	Shows the current frequency with which the controller is sending or receiving RDM data in FPS [Frames Per Second]. ▪This value may change continuously during operation.
RDM State	Shows the state of the RDM module, including Discovery or –.
DXM 1 – DMX 8	Shows the status LED of the specific port in the same way it is physically lit/behaving on the controller itself.
Highlight	On / Off - Allows you to enable or disable channel highlighting on the specific port. [512 channels are sent per port.] Use this workflow: 1] Choose one of the built-in Patterns 2] Activate On 3] To deactivate again, choose Pattern Black 4] Set to Off You can choose from the following Patterns: ▪0 All: Sets DMX value 255 for all 512 channels. This is the default pattern. ▪01 – 32 Snapshots 01 – 32: Only available when created by you. See »Creating Snapshots ▪33 Black: Sets DMX value 0 for all 512 channels. ▪34 First Of Three: Sets DMX value 255 for every third channel, starting with channel 1 [i.e. Red for RGB LEDs]. ▪35 Second Of Three: Sets DMX value 255 for every third channel, starting with channel 2 [i.e. Green for RGB LEDs]. ▪36 First And Second Of Three: Sets DMX value 255 for every third channel, starting with channel 1 and 2 [i.e. Red and Green for RGB LEDs]. ▪37 Third Of Three: Sets DMX value 255 for every third channel, starting with channel 3 [i.e. Blue for RGB LEDs]. ▪38 First And Third Of Three: Sets DMX value 255 for every third channel, starting with channel 1 and 3 [i.e. Red and Blue for RGB LEDs]. ▪39 Second And Third Of Three: Sets DMX value 255 for every third channel, starting with channel 2 and 3 [i.e. Green and Blue for RGB LEDs]. ▪40 First Of Four: Sets DMX value 255 for every fourth channel, starting with channel 1 [i.e. Red for RGBW LEDs]. ▪41 Second Of Four: Sets DMX value 255 for every fourth channel, starting with channel 2 [i.e. Green for RGBW LEDs]. ▪42 Third Of Four: Sets DMX value 255 for every fourth channel, starting with channel 3 [i.e. Blue for RGBW LEDs]. ▪43 Fourth Of Four: Sets DMX value 255 for every fourth channel, starting with channel 4 [i.e. White for RGBW LEDs]. ▪44 3-Channel Fill: Sets DMX value 255 for the color channels, by switching through them: channel 1, channel 2, channels 1+2, channel 3, channels 1+3, channels 2+3 [thereby switching through the previous highlighting presets]. ▪45 3-Channel Run: Sets DMX value 255 for the color channels, by looping through each single one of them: channel 1, channel 2, channel 3 [i.e. first Red, second Green, third Blue, fourth Red, fifth Green, sixth Blue, and so on]. ▪46 4-Channel Fill: Sets DMX value 255 for the color channels, by switching through them: channel 1, channel 2, channels 1+2, channel 3, channels 1+3, channels 2+3, channels 1+2+3, channel 4, channels 1+4, channels 2+4, channels 1+2+4, channels 3+4, channels 1+3+4, channels 2+3+4, channels, 1+2+3+4, all off. ▪47 4-Channel Run: Sets DMX value 255 for the color channels, by looping through each single one of them: channel 1, channel 2, channel 3, channel 4 [i.e. first Red, second Green, third Blue, fourth White, fifth Red, sixth Green, seventh Blue, eighth White, and so on]. ▪48 Stepping Channels: Sets DMX value 255 for every single channel, one channel at a time, consecutively. ▪49 3-Channel Fading Fill: Is the 3-Channel Fill preset, but values are faded [slowly increased and decreased] instead of hard cuts. ▪50 3-Channel Fading Run: Is the 3-Channel Run preset, but values are faded [slowly increased and decreased] instead of hard cuts. ▪51 4-Channel Fading Fill: Is the 4-Channel Fill preset, but values are faded [slowly increased and decreased] instead of hard cuts. ▪52 4-Channel Fading Run: Is the 4-Channel Run preset, but values are faded [slowly increased and decreased] instead of hard cuts. ▪53 Fading Channels: Is the Stepping Channels preset, but values are faded [slowly increased and decreased] instead of hard cuts. ▪54 Ramp All: Fades all channels at the same time from and to DMX value 255 [i.e. White for RGB LEDs]. ▪55 Ramp Wave: Creates a wave animation across all channels [i.e. White for RGB LEDs]. ▪56 1 Ch. Blink, Remainder Black: Lets the first channel blink and sets DMX value 0 for all other channels. ▪57 1 Ch. Blink, Remainder White: Lets the first channel blink and sets DMX value 255 for all other channels. ▪58 Blink All: Lets all channels blink.
