    Remoting Madmapper with the GrandMA 2

    by LSLightdesign » Wed Jul 12, 2023 6:49 pm

    Hi !
    I am working on a Madmapper template file, with integrated dmx remotes, mostly to send generative content in 1920*1080 to Martin Sceptron Ledbars via the P3 Controller.
    I want this to be simpler as possible, as a Media server fixture can be.
    I succesfully created DMX controls for blending modes, color adjustments controls, multiple layers opacity...
    But my problem now is to remote cues with dmx.
    Before I was using multiples dmx channels (channel 1 = cue 1, channel 2 = cue 2 etc...) but this was very unconfortable because I needed to store every unused channel/cues to 0 except the one I wanted to trigger in my GrandMA Cue list to jump between Madmapper cue without triggering every of them.
    It is also a very complexe set up to do in grand MA 2 and takes way too much parameters (4096 total parameters max in Grand Ma2 light).
    So I tried to use one dmx channel for cue triggering, with adjusting the source range.
    Example :
    Channel 51 value 0-10 = raw 1 cue 1
    Channel 51 value 11-20 = raw 1 cue 2
    Channel 51 value 21-30 = raw 1 cue 3
    Channel 51 value 23-40 = raw 1 cue 4

    But in practice this method doesn't work properly. Cues are stacking themselves as I increase the dmx value of the channel, instead of jumping from one to another.

    Is there a parameter to prevent this when using same channel with source range ?
    Is there a better method to achieve what I want ?

    Thanks in advance !
    Loïc

    You can use the "/cues/bank-1/columns/start_by_number"
