MADRIX

can receive data through this device via DMX-IN or Art-Net Remote.

You can use this incoming data in MADRIX

, route the data to the output, or

control MADRIX

remotely. For remote control via DMX-IN, follow these steps:

MADRIX

PLEXUS features two 5-pin, female XLR connectors. If you want to

use DMX-IN, please use a 5-pin XLR male to 5-pin XLR male gender changer.

In MADRIX

, go to the menu ‘Preferences’ à ‘Device Manager...’ à tab ‘DMX

Devices’. Select your device by choosing one of the XLR ports in the list and

activate ‘Enable’ and ‘Input’ in the section ‘Settings’. Click ‘Apply’.

In the next step, configure your unit to control MADRIX

remotely under

‘Preferences’ à ‘Device Manager...’ à tab ‘DMX Input’. Choose a list entry

(‘Universe’ 1 to 8), select the PLEXUS as ‘DMX-IN Device’, and activate

‘Remote’. Choose one of the input protocols in the section ‘Remote Control’

and click ‘Apply’. Close the window with ‘OK’.

DMX And Art-Net – Remote Control

In addition, you can control MADRIX

PLEXUS remotely. It is possible to let the

unit perform certain actions by using sending DMX or Art-Net directly to the

unit. This is especially useful to control stand-alone playback from a distance.

Remote control via DMX means to connect an external DMX unit to one of the

XLR ports of the PLEXUS. This port will no longer be available for DMX output.

Remote control via Art-Net means to connect an Art-Net unit to the Ethernet

port of MADRIX

PLEXUS. In this case, both XLR ports (and Art-Net) will be

available for DMX output.

On the device, navigate to the menu ‘Remote Control’ à ‘Remote Options’

to configure direct remote control. Monitor incoming control data using the

PLEXUS menu ‘Remote Control’ à ‘Monitor Remote’.
