No, my fixtures have direct artnet input, but madmapper has a high framerate output which fills the buffer of their network interface too fast. The processor which is an Atmel 8Bit can't process the packets so fast. I'm currently in contact with the developer of it. He said that all other software ...
I just hooked up my Sandbox with madmapper and Modul8 and it works great! A sexy little thing that can send two universes and has the possible to send a wide arrange of different signals. including Art-net. Don´t know if this is common with other art-net to DMX Devices, but Sandbox has a very easy ...
I'm assuming your not using DMX512? MadMapper uses Art-Net to DMX, so a max of 512 fixture/signals per universe. If your using RGB you get 170 fixtures. Each universe you can multiply that. (You would need 14 universes for 7200 fixtures, single color) Without using some sort of Syphon program you wo...
I use my Canon T2i/550D over USB, it works just fine. Great quality. ...Although there are sometime i've notices I had to reboot if you unplug the camera while running the program(MM 1.3). But at the end of the day it works just fine
Could you do a Spacial Scan with MadMapper, take that image that MM created into a compositor tool such as After Effects, then do your scene all in AE, and render that as a single video file for all surfaces?? I don't know if the skewing of the surfaces would be corrected for though... It my head it...
Just to cover the obvious, you went into your preferences and changes the DMX Output in MadMapper? You might want to go into a little more detail on how you've troubleshooted this problem, and any steps you've taken already, and what your setup is. Right now, someone could ask if the USB plug is, ca...
NateMac do you know somebody in Chicago that will be able to teach MM & M8, or any workshop? I have a show in april and i feel lost many times trying to figure it out everything i need. Thanks. The best thing out there that I've found at the moment (That I will also be attending) Is the Mapping...
I see what you mean. But your duplicating your input surface which DOES NOT move once it's been duplicated. You would very rarely put multiple exact output surfaces on each other. You would just change the input image for that particular surface. Also, just make sure you have on "Snap to Object...
A better projector with a higher contrast ratio is about all you can do. It's the same when you watch a movie on a HDTV that is 2.35:1, the black bars top and bottom are not actually black, they still produce light. Unless you have a TV with local dimming or OLED. A way to combat this is used Black ...
FYI, if you just use the quad and turn on warp inputs, you can essentially make whatever shape you want. Just subdivide your warp gid until you have enough points to make whatever shape you want on your input side. Your "grid" will end up looking all crazy, but it does the trick. it works...
Aspect Ratios: I read somewhere that it's best to match the screen aspect ratio to the Native Resolution of the projector. I'm using a Viewsonic PJD6531w DLP XGA Projector (WXGA (1280 x 800) Native Resolution). Should I set the Aspect Ratio to 16:9 or 16:10? I would choose the native resolution, bu...
It takes some pre-production to figure out where you want everything to go, mostly you want to figure out your aspect ratios of your surfaces. then fit them into the final output. I did a make-shift of what I did for a test. Now mine was all done in After Effects and then just played in MM. You coul...
