MADRIX Forum

Hi,
We have LED DMX-Lights which can controlled via the normal DMX-Protocol. But we also have implemented other commands which can control for example the brightness of the Lights (without the need to calculate it on the RGB-Values). This allows us to achieve a much better variety of colors.
These special commands start with another startbyte and then send the command specific data. Is there a way that we can use our special commands in Madrix?

Hello S-TEC,
.
I think we need to clarify your request a bit better.
.
Do you want to control the colors in a way like the Hue, Saturation, Brightness (HSB) color space model? Or do you mean you want to control an additional brightness channel?
.
What do you mean when you write:
"These special commands start with another startbyte and then send the command specific data."?
Are you using another DMX channel or are you using another kind of protocol than DMX to control it?

Hi,
It's another type of protocol.

For example to change the brightness, the data to send would be:
0x64 0x14 0x00 0xXX 0xXX
instead of
0x00 0xRR 0xGG 0xBB ...
Where the two 0xXX bytes stand for the brightness. But it works over the same interface as the DMX protocol.

Hello S-TEC,
.
MADRIX supports a lot of in the industry well know standards and control protocols. Under the following link you will find all supported output protocols:

If your fixture is working in another way, it is not possible to control it with MADRIX.
