2Showmaster Overview
2.1 Embedded Show Controllers
Medialon Control System brings the power of Medialon Manager, award-winning Show Control
software, in a rugged and compact hardware design.
Showmaster Go Showmaster LE
Showmaster Mini Showmaster Pro
The Showmaster range includes products that are managed in different ways. All models run
Medialon Manager on the Showmaster hardware. Programming is done directly on the
Showmaster Mini or Showmaster Go hardware. This is a key difference. Programming can be
done directly on the Showmaster LE and Pro as well as offline (without the ability to run or debug
the project) using Medialon Manager set in the appropriate mode.

Showmaster LE and Showmaster Pro use a run-time version of Medialon Manager software. A
timeline show is created by connecting a computer / laptop to Showmaster via Ethernet, authoring
the project either directly on the Showmaster using a remote connection or offline, and then
transferring the finalised project.
Showmaster Overview
Medialon Showmaster User Manual p 5 of 42
M569-3 | June 2023
Medialon Showmaster benefits from the extensive Medialon device plug-in library for connectivity
with a wide range of audio-visual equipment.
Showmaster projects can be created directly on the Showmaster via a connection through either
RDP or TeamViewer, as well as offline using Medialon Manager. In the latter case, the resulting
project file must be deployed to the Showmaster’s hard drive either manually or through the
Showmaster’s web interface (Pro or LE models only).
Showmaster Mini
Showmaster Mini is a capable and flexible device is suited to simple AV control applications and
installation types. Its ruggedized, fanless, small form factor makes it easy to mount where AV
racks are not suitable. Showmaster Mini carries a reduced-feature version of Medialon Manager
show control software, making it a low-cost solution that still carries the power, flexibility, and
ease of use Medialon is known for. Designed for less demanding applications, it starts with a 20-
device limitation, expandable in 10-device batches up to a max of 50 devices. This AV device
controller runs Medialon Manager V6 and V7 for Showmaster Mini for step-based tasks only.
The connectors for Showmaster Mini are all on the front of the unit, as it is meant to be mounted
vertically on a DIN rail. It includes two Serial ports, four USB 3.0 ports, two HDMI ports (for Local
Panels and programming), two 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet ports, and the power button.
