    MadMapper 5.1 is out, introducing the MadProjectorControl extension

    Dear mappers,

    MadMapper 5.1 is now out with a new extension: MadProjectorControl

    The extension (which starts at 5.9€/month excl tax) allows you to control your video-projectors remotely through the network using the PJLink protocol (h[url]ttps://pjlink.jbmia.or.jp/english[/url])
    With the help of MadMapper’s Calendar Scheduler & Cue Scheduler, you can also fully automate your installation, removing the need for a dedicated operator!

    There are many more news too such as the support of Moncha DAC and AVB/Dante by MadLaser, the Mad Curves widget, the new generator GPU particles or the new Gallery on the website.
    It's all listed below!

    MadMapper 5.1 Release Note

    ADDITIONS
    + Added a new extension MadProjectorControl to remotely control video-projectors
    + Added PJLink protocol support (PJLink module included in the MadProjectorControl extension)
    + Added Generator GPU Particles
    + MadLaser: Added Visualisation support for Capture, Depence2 & WYSIWYG
    + MadLaser: support Moncha DAC support (https://www.showtacle.com/moncha-go-2/)
    + MadLaser: support AVB / Dante to drive lasers (for Laser Animation projectors)
    + MadLaser: Added Soft-Edge support on Laser Quad (don't expect it to work in any situation or with any content, but it's working in some interesting situations)
    + MadLaser: Added option on ILDA file to use source ILDA points or re-rasterize geometry using MadLaser algorithms
    + New builtin Laser Materials & Laser Lines FX
    + Video & Laser Lines surfaces: added an option to merge two paths (now you have split & merge)
    + Command-line-interface authorisation
    + MadLight: added support for Enttec Open USB DMX
    + Added 2D FX "Curve RGBA" & "Curve Luma"

    IMPROVEMENTS
    * Materials can use last frame data for more complex creations
    * Optimisation: don't render Video Loopback projector if not used by any visible surface
    * Global BPM with Audio beat detection now supports specifying BPM range
    * Video & Laser Lines surfaces: when adding a handle in creation mode, it can directly be adjusted with arrow keys
    * Increased MiniMad Light mini-jack audio level to 0dB
    * Oscilator module now has "Strob" option
    * Improved code-editor tabulation handling

    FIXES
    - Fixed Video Output Internal Loopback when using FX that require MipMapping (ie Gaussian Blur)
    - When disabling/re-enabling Laser Output connected to Pangolin Beyond, stream was off until you start some content within Pangolin
    - Fixed cueing Materials / Laser Materials ISF event inputs
    - Fixed Cmd-Ctrl+click to reset value on range widgets & right click for controls menu
    - Fixed possible issue reconnecting ArtNet/sACN to the right network adapter on Windows after reboot (identify network adapter using its name)
    - Fixed editing quad mask when surface opacity is zero

    Enjoy!

    The MAD Team.

    Can MadProjectorControl work with MiniMad? I am working on a permanent installation project and it needs to run by itself without any manual intervention. Please let me know. Thank you!

    The Madprojector control extension is only supported by MadMapper.
    But you can control your Minimad units remotely with Minimad modules (Modules tab). Then even use scenes and cue, etc.
    Physically you can use a plug timer
