MADRIX STELLA User Manual
§
Example: We are using an LED fixture with a total of 5 control channels [3 color channels and 2 movement
channels]. MADRIX 5 should provide the color data for channels 1 to 3 and the console should provide the
movement data for channels 4 and 5. Using the MADRIX 5 Fixture Editor, we could create a corresponding fixture
where channel 4 and 5 are set up as Fixed channel using always a value of 0 . On the other hand, the console
will always send a value of 0 for the first 3 channels of each fixture. This will ensure that the data from the
console will always provide the higher value on channels 4 and 5, while MADRIX 5 provides the color data. Due
to the automatic HTP merging of the device, the LED fixture will receive correct data from both sources as
desired.
Configuration And Recommendations When Merging Art-Net
1] Correctly set up and enable Art-Net for each source.
2] Make sure to activate ArtSync for Art-Net in MADRIX 5 . Learn more »
Sync Mode
3] Make sure that MADRIX 5 has a different IP address in the same IP address range compared to the second
source.
4] Always use Unicast Mode in MADRIX 5 to directly send data to the correct IP addresses of your MADRIX
STELLA devices.
[It is not recommend to have any of the two sources or any other source in the network to send data via Broadcast
Mode.]
Remote Device Management [RDM]
In order to use it, call up the built-in web configuration [see below] and go to DMX Output Settings > Enable
RDM for ports DMX 1 and/or DMX 2
Make sure to disable RDM on the specific port, when using STELLA for input [DMX-IN].
RDM is fully supported over Art-Net, including ArtRdm, all other required packets, and full and continued discovery of
RDM devices.
Thanks to STELLA's Packet Multitasking, RDM and Art-Net can be sent and received at the same time and during live
operation with a min. frame rate of 22 FPS, an expected average of 34 FPS, and a max. frame rate of 44 FPS,
depending on the number of RDM packets.
