MADRIX PLEXUS 558

Stand-Alone Mode

Introduction

Normally, a computer runs the MADRIX software live and thereby controls the LED installation. In

contrast, the Stand-Alone Mode of the MADRIX PLEXUS can be used to control LED installations

without the need for a computer during the show.

The PLEXUS can use a SD card (SD or SDHC) on which a Stand-Alone Show can be saved. But

first, it is necessary to create such a Stand-Alone Show.

Please read the following chapter carefully in order to learn how to create a MADRIX

PLEXUS Stand-Alone Show.

Basic Workflow (Step By Step)

In order to create a show file, please follow these steps:

Step 1)

Configure your virtual matrix according to your LED installation.

(Use the Matrix Generator or the Patch for this task.)

Step 2)

Create the MADRIX effects you wish to use.

(Learn more about Effects.)

Step 3)

Create a Cue List, if you wish to use it during the recording.

If not, simply skip this step and you will create a live record.

(Learn more about the Cue List.)

Step 4)

Record your effects by creating a MADRIX Record File (*.mrec).

(Use the Recording dialog for this task.)

Step 5)

Convert the Record File (*.mrec) into a PLEXUS Scene File (*.dxd).

(Use the Recording dialog for this task.)

Step 6)

Create a PLEXUS Configuration. This will be your Stand-Alone Show!

(Use the PLEXUS Configuration dialog for this task.)
