Overview

Introduction

For MADRIX STELLA 8, Presets are common configurations to quickly get started.
You can operate STELLA 8 as DMX controller, as DMX booster, as DMX splitter, as merger, as protocol converter, and much more.

▪Presets are grouped into categories, such as Art-Net, DMX, Pattern, etc.

▪Each Preset offers more information:
- Mode - Describes the overall functionality of the underlying configuration, such as Output, Splitter, Input, Merger, Booster, etc.
- Summary - Describes the functionality of the underlying configuration in more detail.

▪Clear - Is a special category which removes all or parts of the current configuration, which may include all Sources and Destinations, or only Sources, or only Destinations.
 

▪Presets Pattern -> DMX, Pattern -> Art-Net, Pattern -> sACN require that 8 Snapshots have been created first in order to work correctly. See »Creating Snapshots

In its default Preset, MADRIX STELLA 8 receives 8 universes over Art-Net via Ethernet [Art-Net universes 0 to 7] and sends them to DMX 1 to DMX 8 for DMX output as well as being ready to receive DMX input via the DMX 1 to DMX 8 and sending it out to Art-Net [Art-Net universes 248 to 255].

You can customize the settings of a Preset or create a completely individual configuration under menu »Advanced

How To Activate A Preset

1] Search for the functionality you require.

2] Simply click Apply Preset to load the Preset and therefore activate the underlying configuration.

3] A new window opens. Confirm your choice via Apply Preset or abort the process via Cancel

4] The currently active Preset is shown with a green glow.
[Note: The Presets Clear Sources and Clear Destinations will not show this glow as the exact state of configuration cannot be determined afterwards as different Sources and Destinations can still be configured.]

 

5] The menu »Dashboard also shows if a Preset is currently active and which Preset that is.

6] You can view the applied configuration in all of its details in the menu »Advanced Configuration.
