So far miniMAD only supports synchronizing several miniMAD Video units together.

We'd like to enable Video & Light synchronization, but we don't want to hack something quickly to fit the purpose.

So far the miniMAD can be controlled using the device's buttons, an USB keyboard, a microModul8 controller and OSC. There's no standard Midi control available yet, and you have to choose between Light & Video for moment. The trigger delay is short, especially using miniMAD Light. Please take a look ...

It seems like the networking part of the minimad software doesn't activate until a connection on the main ethernet port is detected? That's exactly true. The software has been designed to rely on the onboard network adapter. In the future we thought about supporting two IP-addresses on the same ada...

We'll definitely test wireless synchronization while developing next model of the miniMAD which will feature wireless connectivity.

MadMapper 4.0 will feature mappable start & stop recording buttons.

Please make sure to subscribe the beta-testers mailing-list to be able to test is as soon as we release an alpha/beta version.

MadMapper 4 will feature miniMAD Light + Audio. You will be able to attach an audio track to each recorded sequence, and export it all to the miniMAD, which will support the audio-jack output as well as USB-audio interface, including multi-channel ones. Please subscribe the beta-testers mailing-list...

If MadMapper isn't sending any DMX (it has no active fixture), MadLight Recorder should record what's coming in its DMX Input interface as selected in the Preferences --> DMX Input.

By the way, coming MadMapper 4 will make that feature a lot clearer.

Couldn't it be your MacBook's SD-card reader that's faulty?

What happens if you plug your old SD-card reader to your MacBook?

The miniMAD can playback H264 with 420 pixel-format only.
You can produce your own file using your favorite transcoder (MadMapper uses FFmpeg).
If you want to prevent MadMapper from reducing your movie, there's a dedicated setting in the Advanced tab.

Depending on various parameters, including the output and movie resolutions & framerates, MadMapper can downscale the movie during export to ensure a smooth playback on the miniMAD.

You can deactivate this feature in the advanced parameters, but depending on your movie, the result may be less smooth.

You can use any SD-card, as long as their size is equal or superior to the image size (unfortunately, two different 16GB SD-cards car feature slightly different sizes). About the loop, the best thing you have to do is to make the video last a little longer, with no audio at the very end, to avoid an...

For now miniMAD only supports onboard mini-jack and HDMI.

A solution to get a better audio quality (and connectors) is a HDMI splitter like this one:

In order to reset a mapping you need to export from MadMapper, which will be instant if the video content didn't change.

You don't have to unzip the image, please follow the miniMAD user-manual to flash your card.

miniMAD Light supports Artnet, sACN, USB to DMX interfaces from Enttec, ShowJockey and garageCube.

We don't support teensy yet.

Please check the actual resolution of the exported image in the mapping folder of the SD-card. My guess is that the miniMAD, for some reason, cannot switch to the resolution & frequency you've selected when exporting (1280x800) and switches to the default resolution (640x480). Don't you plug or powe...
