    Budget interface to use with mad laser

    by Hungry_Man » Sat Nov 22, 2025 12:55 pm

    Hello, I’m about to try using madlaser and mad mapper to control lights and lasers at the same time.

    I will need to buy a laser and an ILDA interface.

    I am doing some tests for a show that will probably use about 3-6 lasers that will be higher in from different parts of the world so the ILDA output is essential.

    I’ve seen a few different options of interfaces to use, some which are over ethernet like the shownet one . I now have a fair bit of ethernet gear in my set up, I have a net pocket 23 for lighting output. I have an ethernet switch to connect computers together for NDI. The cheapest ILDA interface I’ve seen is the Helios USB. I will need the interface to be PC and Mac compatible.

    Just wondering if people have any recommendations? I am on a budget for now so just looking for something cheap to get me started and don’t mind upgrading something more expensive later on once the show is on the road.

    Thanks
