As stated on the official miniMAD page https://madmapper.com/minimad: "Playback up to 64 universes with the miniMAD".

However, please note that is a safe number and we've actually successfully tested with a lot more universes.

Thank you for the link and your concern.
We're currently investigating various options in order to improve the miniMAD system's reliability.

Please refer to the official miniMAD user-guide to learn how to flash your miniMAD SD-card: https://madmapper.com/wp-content/upload ... RGUIDE.pdf

If the problem persists, it could mean your SD-card got physically damaged and needs to be replaced.

Are you talking about miniMAD Video or miniMAD Light?
Is it a problem with the export to the miniMAD or when the miniMAD is running?

In MadMapper, go to Edit --> Edit DMX Controls and affect DMX channels to chosen controls in the application.

What do you think about a stop function that would:
1. turn the screen black
2. rewind the current media
3. pause the media playback
?

@georgeboyx: I already answered you by email, but here are my answers for others: So when using perspective correction in my mapping, the payback might be not quite as fluid and reliable as when using straight fullscreen? I might have to use both. When using perspective-correction the fastest render...

- are the Minimads reliable for such a long time? We've got users running installations for months without turning them off (even though I would advice to shut them down during the night / when not used). - would they start up with playback and synchronization via network automatically when powered...

Launch Luminet Monitor and select the ethernet interface you receive the ArtNet from.
Then you should see miniMAD DMX appearing in ArtNet Universes.
Simply click on the universe to watch the DMX channels.

In MadMapper / miniMAD 4.0 (actually available in beta on Yourspace), the miniMAD won't start rendering video until the projector / display is up and running, which should fix your problem.

Anyway, I'm adding your suggestion to the miniMAD wishlist.

Even better: miniMAD Light 4.0 Beta supports system-compliant USB audio interfaces.

Just make sure to plug it in before powering the miniMAD on, and use a powered USB-hub if it's USB powered but works randomly.

What ArtNet controller are you using?

Have you tried turning the controller off when you shutdown the miniMAD?

You can also install Luminet Monitor on your computer to watch the ArtNet coming out of the miniMAD and determine whether the miniMAD stops sending ArtNet or not.

You can already use sACN output in miniMAD Light. You can remote-control miniMAD Light using OSC. miniMAD (Video or Light) is a media-player with standard controls like pause, previous, next, etc, but not - yet - a media-server with a dedicated DMX fixture. Both miniMAD models (blue and black) have ...

Do you mean the main preview window is yellow, or each individual output window is?
