Note:
•In this tutorial we are using a »Capture Presentation as 3D visualizer software.
•You can learn more about sACN in the following tutorial: »Connecting MADRIX 5 With sACN Nodes Via Multicast.
•If MADRIX 5 and the desired 3D visualizer is running on one and the same PC, it is required that the 3D visualizer is started first.
Task:
In this tutorial we have to connect the MADRIX 5 software with a 3D visualizer and both software are running on one and the same PC.
Download:
Under the following link you can download the Capture Presentation and the corresponding MADRIX setup in a .zip file: ConnectingVisualizer
