11 EN
Time-Controlled Shows & Cue Lists (Step 4)
Use the 'Cue List – Cue List Editor' section of the web configuration to
organize scenes into a playlist with cues to create a show that can
automatically be played back.
Recorded scenes are automatically added to the cue list (as long as the
MADRIX®AURA remains powered on). Make sure to save the cue list if you
want to keep this configuration.
In addition, use the 'Timers – Timer Settings' section of the web
configuration in order to create a fully time-controlled show.
Make sure to 'Save' the configurations to SD card (Floppy-Disk button).
Live Recording (Step 3)
Create scenes by recording them via:
The MADRIX®5 Software and by using Network Records (see p. 5),
The web configuration ('Control','Timers', or 'Remote') (see p. 10),
The on-device buttons (see p. 7).
You may need to configure the 'Recording – Network Recording Settings'
section of the web configuration. By default, MADRIX®AURA receives
Art-Net on universes 1 – 2/8/32.
Records that are saved on the currently insterted SD card are listed in the
'Scenes – Scene Files' section of the web configuration.
Based on the FAT32 file system, files on the SD card can only have a
maximum file size of 4 GB. Should a recording process create such large
files, MADRIX®AURA will automatically create new files and continue
recording, and add a second index number to the file names in addition to
the original index.
Please note: Make sure to send control data to the device before you start
a recording process (Art-Net or Streaming ACN)!

EN 12
English
Stand-Alone Playback (Step 6)
Start playback via:
The 'Control – Live Control' section of the web configuration (see p. 10),
The on-device buttons (see p. 7),
A fully time-controlled show via 'Timers – Timer Settings' (see p. 11),
Automatic playback after startup via the 'Settings – Device Settings' >
'Startup' > 'Autoplay' section of the web configuration (see p. 10),
Remote control and by triggering commands from a distance (see below).
Remote Control
You can trigger MADRIX®AURA remotely via HTTP commands andthe built-in web
server or use Art-Net or Streaming ACN. Use commands, such as:
'Cue','Next Cue','Previous Cue',
'Play','Pause','Stop','Record',
'Intensity','Speed','Intensity Group 1 – 8'.
Set up the 'Remote – Remote Control' section of the web configuration.
Central Hub (Step 5)
MADRIX®AURA outputs Art-Net or Streaming ACN.
Simply connect compatible, fully operational MADRIX®hardware interfaces
or third-party nodes over Ethernet network to provide the correct output
for your lighting fixtures.
MADRIX®LUNA – Connect to for output to convert to DMX512 over 5-pin XLR.
MADRIX®STELLA – Connect to for output to convert to DMX512 over 3-pin,
pluggable screw terminals.
MADRIX®NEBULA – Connect to for output to convert to SPI LED ICs.
MADRIX®ORION – Connect to for input to control MADRIX®AURA remotely.
You may also need to configure the 'Playback – Network Playback Settings'
section of the web configuration. By default, MADRIX®AURA sends Art-Net
in Broadcast Mode on universes 1 – 2/8/32 with optimized frames.

13 EN
Master-Slave Synchronization
Managelarge projects simply by connecting severaldevices to the same network.
You can also use MADRIX®AURA 2, 8, and 32 together in any combination. In
addition, the entire group can automatically be synchronized.
Set up Master-Slave Synchronization via the 'Settings – Device Settings' >
'Synchronization' section of the web configuration.
The 'Sync. Group' assigns devices to a specific group in which they operate (you
can set up different clusters in the same network). A 'Master' dictates the
playback. 'Slaves' can optionally follow intensity, intensity groups, and speed.
Devices that should communicate with each other should be assigned to the
same sync. group and physically connected to the same Ethernet network.
All synchronized devices need to run the same firmware version.
Since timers on the Master affect playback, intensity, intensity groups, and
speed, Slaves react accordingly based on their synchronization settings.
Correctly configure and assign all universes in your data sender as well as
the recording universes and playback universes of your AURA devices.
Simply record data (scenes) simultaneously on all devices. The 'Network
Record' function of MADRIX®5 makes this incredibly easy. When using other
senders, you can start the recording process on the Master. Slaves will
automatically start recording as well.
Special Commands
You can use the 'Settings – Device Settings' > 'Special Commands' section of
the web configuration to execute specific, helpful functions. Apply your selection
via 'Set'.
'Reboot System'
'Reset To Factory Default Settings'
