MADRIX STELLA User Manual
MIDI
MIDI is short for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, a well-known technical standard that provides standardized ways
for equipment to communicate. In case of MADRIX 5, MIDI can be used for MIDI Time Code, MIDI notes, or other MIDI
hardware, such as DJ/VJ controllers.
NDI
Network Device Interface is a network-based video technology by NewTek.
Output
To control your LEDs, MADRIX 5 needs to send data to the LEDs. In this way it communicates with your controllers
and/or your LEDs. This is referred to as output. There are different ways on how this process can work [e.g.,
protocols]. But most importantly, you need to configure which output method MADRIX 5 should use in order to control
your LED products.
Philips Hue
Is a proprietary range of products including communication protocol for personal wireless lighting made by Philips
Lighting.
Pixel
A pixel refers to one lighting point. When using RGB LEDs, one pixel usually includes 1 [or 2] red LEDs, 1 blue LED, and
1 green LED. 1 control channel is required for each color [3 in total per pixel], but as a total they represent one pixel.
LED fixtures often have a certain number of pixels per unit.
Pixel Mapping
MADRIX 5 contains an effect generator as well as a graphics render engine that support pixel rendering for 2D effects
and volume rendering for 3D effects.
Remote HTTP
Remote HTTP is a way to control MADRIX 5 remotely using standards known from the internet [HTTP - Hypertext
Transfer Protocol].
