As you can see, MADRIX automatically creates the number of interfaces defined in the
Options dialog. In the our example, 10 devices were created.
Next, please select one device in the list and click "Configure Device...". In addition, you can
perform a double-click on this device. A new dialog will open.
"ACN Source Name" allows you to define a specific name for the device. This name is send via
network as well. Therefore, interfaces may be able to retrieve this name and can be configured to
receive data from this source. If you are using the default name "MADRIX U:X", the universe will
automatically be displayed in the name (represented by X: 1, 2, 3, etc.).
"ACN Universe" is to define the DMX universe of your ACN interface. You can manually adjust the
settings.
"ACN Priority" was implemented for backup solutions. Valid values range from 0 to 200, which is
the highest priority. For example, you may have set up two MADRIX PCs. One gets a priority of
100. The second PC gets a priority of 50. If the first PC fails and only if it malfunctions, data will
be automatically received from PC #2. Data will always be received from the device with the
highest priority. Please note that the ACN interface must support this feature.
"ACN Protocol" allows you to choose the protocol version. The official version is called "Release
r3". This option is selected by default. If you installed an older interface with the Draft version,
you may select "Draft r2". Please do not change the protocol unless you are sure.
Press "Apply" to save your changes.
