As long as you have an SSD drive and enough space, HAP is the best. HapQ if HAP quality is not enough & HapAlpha if you need Alpha channel. If you have a 5 hours long movie, HAP might no more be an option, then h264 is good because as the most common format today, decoding is well optimized. However...

Hi, You have to cut your device in 3 fixtures: - fixture one: a single 8 bits slider (which you'll patch to first channel of your device) - fixture two: the 8 RGB pixels fixture (which you'll patch to second channel of your device) - fixture three: a single 8 bits slider (which you'll patch to last ...

MadMapper 4.0 will identify projectors / monitors with their serial number (received from the EDID data) when possible. So that should solve those issues. On macOS we use a path which corresponds to a physical output on the machine (ie GPU AMD... / output 3 - IOService:/AppleACPIPlatformExpert/PCI0@...

If MadMapper gets a proper BPM value (we improved beat detection from audio in 4.0) you can set the cue "auto play" setting to a duration in beats (pressing the setup icon next to the "auto play" button on top of the cue grid)

You should really use OSC. The implementation in MadMapper is complete. The protocol is very simple. There are libraries for all languages. You can even use OSCQuery to request from MadMapper the list of available adresses, ie type http://127.0.0.1:8010/ in your browser (if you haven't changed the O...

Excellent news !

Hi. No there's no such option. That's a rare use case... Generally you use the OBJ of the physical object you're projecting to. What's your use case ?

The audio beat detection is not perfect. Do you have any option to send MadMapper a Midi Time Code or to use Ableton Link ? If so you'd get a better time information in MadMapper. To synchronize movie playback on the beat, you can set your movie in "pause" and assign "/custom/BPM/4_beats" to"/medias...

The issue is that since the "control" to trigger the cue is activated each time the "control" input value changes (over zero), when the Time Code reaches the "source range" minimum value you set (ie 40 seconds), it will trigger the cue on each frame, so it will restart the media. This is desired wit...

Okay, thanks for giving good feedback on this. Well, indeed it's weird. We're not much working with MTC at the moment. It should be easy to handle that properly. The issue is that since the "control" to trigger the cue is activated each time the "control" input value changes (over zero), when the Ti...

Could you send a minimal Cubase Project and MadMapper project to reproduce ? Which version of Cubase are you using ? I just tested drawing a few controller lanes in Cubase, assign it to movie play head and materials settings and I still have 60 FPS. The problem might be somewhere else. Please help s...

I just tested MTC with Ableton Live and Vezér without issue. I then installed Cubase LE AI Elements trial (a nightmare to install, need Steinberg Downloader, then download 6 GB, then it crashed when trying to authorize, then I had to update the licenser application, then...) Anyway, I activated MIDI...

Hi, When using FFMPEG Player (when "Use Hardware Acceleration" is disabled on movies), MadMapper will keep the two movies in sync, at least if played from the same process. There might be an exception in version 3.X when audio is activated and we failed to get audio samples at a specific position, w...

One more question: does it happens if you just start MadMapper with no project loaded, and play a material or another visual ?

Weird issue. We'll check that asap. Could you please sample the process following those steps: reproduce the issue, while MM is lagging, open activity monitor, double click MadMapper process and press the "sample" button art the top left. Then just paste the sample result here. We should figure it o...
