MADRIX KEY
The MADRIX KEY is a USB dongle that unlocks the features or output for the MADRIX 5 Software or MADRIX RADAR Software by holding the corresponding license. You can freely switch between different PCs as it is not bound to a specific system. It only needs to be activated online once.
MADRIX 5 License Upgrades
You can easily upgrade the license on your MADRIX KEY to any higher license at any time in order to increase the available output. They can simply be processed online. Please contact your dealer for more information.
Update To MADRIX 5
Meet the next generation of ultimate LED control. See the main new features here and dive into unprecedented possibilities.
Make sure to update, since MADRIX 3 project support ends May 07, 2020!
You Can Serve Media
Use the media-server features and conveniently load and play back images, pictures, and videos. Or use live video signal capturing, screen capturing, scrolling text (ticker), and more. But what if you are not using a video screen at all? Videos are great media for rectangular screens, but the possibilities are quickly exhausted for creative 2D LED setups or even more so for 3D.
But Often, Video Is Not Enough
MADRIX 5 is an effect generator with outstanding capabilities to display unique real-time effects on your LEDs. This is the main advantage. Endless stunning and fully customizable visuals are created live for you by you with the built-in graphics engine and rendering engine. From simple colors to sophisticated visuals – all is possible.
Audio-Reactive Visuals
MADRIX 5 features a state-of-the-art audio analysis. It can process any live audio signal and create stunning real-time lighting visuals. These live effects will create a light show that runs in sync with your music. And thanks to the integrated effects generator, you can also create many lighting patterns without audio input. On top, you can customize all visuals at an unprecedented level.
Ultimate Creativity
Creating stunning light effects has never been easier. Use video-like visuals without the need for videos. Creating videos specifically for a project can be time-consuming, costly, and unpractical. Let the software produce stunning effects, visuals, and animations for you. You can always quickly change everything, such as speed, color, shape, direction, size, movement, position, brightness, and much more.
Create Stunning Visuals In Seconds
MADRIX 5 allows you to produce extraordinary live visuals. You don't need to invest a lot of time for programming. With MADRIX 5, you quickly create visuals and bring creative and diverse lighting effects to any LED installation. In addition, apply many advanced features you would not want to miss. Use layers of effects and media, quickly modify visuals via FX filters, combine effects via mix modes, control fixture-group intensities, and much more.
Step 1
After the intial configuration, choose a MADRIX Effect from the built-in effects library with over 55 effects.
Step 2
Quickly change the individual parameters as you wish, or leave the default settings.
Step 3
Go from default to custom in no time. It only takes a few mouse clicks to create stunning visuals.
Workflows
MADRIX 5 accommodates numerous ways to operate the software. The above mentioned industry standards for input, interoperability, remote control, and audio make a lot possible for simple setups, complex lighting systems, or any AV integration. Here are just a few examples that go beyond direct control via mouse and keyboard or remote control via a lighting console.
Touch Screens
This view provides you with an intuitive interface designed for touch-screen panels. Large buttons and controls make touch control very easy to use.
MIDI Controllers
MIDI controllers are a great way for tactile and fast operation. MIDI button feedback even reflects the state of the software controls on the controller.
Cue Lists
Cue Lists are automated playlists. The playback of effects and visuals can be precisely scheduled in hours, minutes, seconds, and frames. Time code can be received from Art-Net, MIDI, SMPTE, or taken from the system's time. Synchronize time and equipment across lighting systems and shows.
Timelines
Timelines offer unprecedented possibilities to create light shows that sync to music. Based on time code and sequencing, you can trigger segments at exactly the right time and synchronize your lighting to audio, which is shown in waveforms. In this case, MADRIX 5 itself can become the time-code sender.
MADRIX Effects
Choose from 5 different effect categories and over 55 built-in effects. SCE Effects do not require any sound and make up the most diverse set of patterns and effects. S2L, short for Sound2Light, brings your audio input to life. M2L, short for Music2Light, takes audio-based effects to an even deeper level. MAS allows you to create effects from scratch with the help of the advanced MADRIX scripting language. TRI, short for Trigger, adds a whole new level of interactivity as you can set off visuals with your manual input.
LED Fixtures
The library already includes a large variety of fixture profiles. Use 1-channel, 2-channel, RGB, or RGBW fixtures, or any variant of these. Use the Fixture Editor for your own profiles. With MADRIX 5, it is easy to manage the wide range of fixtures, such as pars, tiles, tubes, tape, curtains, video screens, and more. Combine DMX-based and DVI-based LED products as needed, use different fixture types in the same setup, and control the whole installation or only parts of it. With MADRIX 5, you are in control.
Built-In Tools
In addition, the software includes a full range of helpful and productive tools. This includes the Fixture Editor, but also the Art-Net Time Code Sender. There is also the Logfile, Preview Benchmark, and MADRIX Device Updater, as well as tools for restore and quick support. You can also use the DMX Fader Tool for single channel control or the Task Watcher, MIDI Watcher, and DMX Watcher for performance and data monitoring.
