The PLEXUS will react to incoming DMX or Art-Net values and perform certain actions as a result.
These remote control options are available independently of DMX-IN or Art-Net Remote, both of
which will allow you to control the MADRIX software instead. With Remote Control via DMX or Art-
Net you can directly communicate with the PLEXUS unit.
Remote via DMX means that you will connect an external DMX unit to one of the XLR ports of the
MADRIX PLEXUS. The occupied port will no longer be available for DMX-OUT (output).
Remote via Art-Net means that you will connect an Art-Net unit to the Ethernet port of the
PLEXUS. Both XLR ports will then be available for DMX-OUT (output).
Settings Of The Device
Navigate to the menu 'Remote' 'Remote Options' .
'Receive via' - specifies the source of remote commands. You can choose to receive remote
commands via DMX, via Art-Net, or to turn remote control off.
'On port / On universe' - specifies for DMX which XLR port is used (DMX 1 or DMX 2) or for Art-
Net which universe is used to send the remote commands (1 to 256).
'Start channel' - specifies a DMX start channel (1 to 512). It defines the range of DMX channels
used for the set of remote functions. 20 DMX channels are used by the remote functions. The
default value is 1.
'DMX -> Art-Net' - specifies if DMX-Thru is enabled, when Remote Control is activated over DMX.
Incoming DMX data would then additionally be sent through to Art-Net.
You may change the settings in this menu, on the device ( How To Edit Values ).
You can also configure the settings in the PLEXUS Configuration dialog using MADRIX. For more
information, see Managing Devices Further .
