MADRIX Options 196

Change this value if you need to use more virtual universes than actual DMX universes in your

Patch.

Please use this slider to increase or decrease the number of virtual universes which MADRIX will

address. (It is possible to use more virtual DMX universes than actual DMX universes by using less

than 512 DMX channels per universe.)

Please remember that your MADRIX KEY (MADRIX version) limits the number of

actual DMX universes.

Use the "Reset" button to restore the default settings. The default value is 256 virtual

DMX universes.

Input

Change this value if you need to use more DMX universes for input. Please use the slider or input

field to set the required number.

Learn more about this feature in the chapter DMX-IN & Art-Net Remote.

Use the "Reset" button to restore the default settings. The default value is 8 virtual

DMX-IN universes.

Previews

If you activate "Use Direct3D Previews", all previews will be rendered using Microsoft DirectX

and Direct3D, a hardware acceleration of graphical images based on your graphics card. If you

encounter problems with Direct3D Previews you can deselect this option. If you deselect it,

standard DirectDraw Previews will be initialized. The rendering may take a few seconds. Please

always use the button "Apply" to apply your changes.

MADRIX supports DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 graphic cards and drivers. Please check which DirectX

drivers you have installed by typing 'dxdiag' into the Windows command line.
