In this chapter there will be everything you need to know about the MaNima Configurator.
The MaNima Configurator
The MC (MaNima Configurator) is the program used by the operator to configure the MaNima
Magnus. The MC must be installed on a computer on the same network where the MaNima
Magnus is connected to. To work with the MC, it is recommended to install the MaNima Magnus
first and connect it to the network, since most (if not all) options won’t be available without a
connection between the computer and the MaNima Magnus.

The scanner is the tab used to search for different MaNima LED Interfaces. Follow the
instructions below to configure your own device.
Make sure your computer and MaNima Magnus are connected to the same Ethernet/Wi-Fi
network! The interface should be in the scanner no matter what IP-adress it has.
Currently editing: ‘name’ (‘IP-address’) = This shows which device is currently being edited.
Device name = Device name is the name given to a device. The user will know which device is which. You
can change the device name in the ‘’settings’’ tab
IP Address = The IP-address is the number given to a device. Using this address the user will know which
device is which. Multiple devices can have the same IP!
MAC = The MAC address is the name given to the MaNima LED Interface by the manufacturer. MAC
addresses are, unlike IP addresses, never identical to each other.
Version = This shows the version of the used hardware in the MaNima LED Interface.
Software Version = This shows the software version of the connected MaNima LED Interface.
Identify = If identify is switched on you can see which LED is controlled by that device, as they will be
performing an RGB(W) test cycle.

To connect to the MaNima Magnus, left click on the interface. If the connection is successful,
there should be “Currently editing: (IP-address)” instead of “Currently editing: None”. Note that
the MaNima Magnus cannot be configurated without a SD-card.
Failure to Connect
If the MC is unable to find the MaNima Magnus, there are multiple things that may have gone
wrong. So, make sure the following is correct:
1. The MaNima Magnus is connected to the same network as the computer.
2. The network has a DHCP.
3. The IP-address is in the IP-address range of the MC.
4. The MaNima Magnus is powered or has the correct voltage.
5. Restart the MC if the MaNima Ignis still cannot be found.
Error Warning
The error warning is shown when the
interface has encountered a problem. In the
example given here, the interface has
encountered a problem where there are
too many universes in a port. This can be
fixed by lowering the FPS in the live playing
software.
When such an error occurs, follow the
instructions written in the error message.

protocols over different ports. This is done by selecting a different protocol for each
port.
Colour sequence
You have the possibility to change the colour sequence of the protocols.
SD-card
The SD-card saves all the mapping configurations. When there is no SD-card, the
MaNima Magnus cannot be configurated.

With scenes .REC files can be recorded on the MaNima LED Interface.
Recording scenes
If a scene must be recorded, there needs to be an output signal going through the SPI or DMX
outputs of the MaNima Magnus. Universes must be added in the ‘LED Output’ or ‘DMX’ tab
before sending data through the SPI or DMX ports. When a scene is playing, press record.
Live recording with 3rd party LED editing software
Using 3rd party software which is compatible with the MaNima Magnus is important. Follow the
instructions of the LED editing software to ´Live edit´ the LEDs that are to be programmed. Make
sure the used universes are in the mapping of the MC. All LED editing software that uses ArtNet
is compatible with the MC and the MaNima Magnus.
If the LEDs are being controlled with the 3rd party software through the MaNima Magnus, you
can name the file and press “record” on the MC and press ´Stop´ to save the file.
The filename must be written with capital letters and cannot exceed 7 symbols.
The file is now saved on the SD-card of the MaNima Magnus and can be selected. To test if the
file is working, select the file in the player and press ´Start´ (instructions for synchronised
recording and playing, visit the master-slave function chapter).

Loop functions
The MaNima Configurator has built in ‘loop functions’, these functions are used to make smooth
transitions between the start and end of a scene.
To use loop functions, click on ‘Set method’ when having a scene selected:
A window pops up in which you can select the effect you want to use:
Autoloop:
The autoloop effect is an effect where the MaNima Configurator searches for nearly identical
frames. When the MaNima Configurator has found the nearly identical frames, it cuts the
recording there. If the end frame and the start frame are the same, it is nearly impossible to spot
the beginning of a new recording.
The duration parameter sets the time until the IF may start searching for an identical frame.
The equality parameter gives the minimum frame equality between the two frames. If the IF can’t
find an equal frame, set a lower parameter.

Bounce:
The bounce effect is an effect in which the recording will be reversed at the end of the scene.
Fade:
The fade effect is an effect which will slowly dim the recording at the beginning and/or end.
Fade and bounce:
The fade effect is an effect where the ending and/or beginning of a scene are fading in/out. After
the fading, the scene will be reversed.

Controlling scenes
The recorded scenes can be started by external inputs or DMX channels configured as an DMX
port input.
ArtNet
The MaNima Magnus can be controlled via ArtNet V1.4. The interface is easy to find and use
thanks to the ArtPoll system.
Live Playing
The MaNima Magnus is able to instantly receive ArtNet and send a SPI protocol to the digital
LEDs.
Playing recorded scenes
The MaNima Magnus is capable of recording live data and playing this back later. The recorded
files are saved on the SD-card. IMPORTANT: Make sure that the Live ArtNet data from the 3rd
party LED editing software/hardware is disabled!

Group configuration
Use a group to make several interfaces work together. This is used when using synchronised
recording and synchronised playback.
If you want to work with multiple interfaces at the same time, you can do this via the “Group”
tab. In the box '' Group Number '' you fill in the number at the devices you want to use together.
Also enter the number you entered in the other device that you want to use together.
Synchronized master-slave groups
If you want multiple groups of master-slave setups, and don’t want to interfere with other
groups of interfaces when using synchronised recording or playing, use the ‘Group’ function.
When a certain set of interfaces is set under a certain group, a synchronised recording won’t
allow for other interfaces (outside the group) to be recording.
