Madrix with LED Curtain and video switcher
Posted: Mon May 14, 2012 5:21 pm
Hi-
I own a 16'x6' 20mm LED curtain with a touring act. We purchased Madrix and have been using it to display all of our motion graphics, text, effects, etc.
We just obtained an LEDSync820C, which is an LED curtain video switcher that has in internal network card (the exact same setup as the LED curtain) so we can use live camera feeds on stage, as well as VGA and DVI inputs all sent to the curtain, live.
My question is, it APPEARS that since Madrix only has output options for DVI, Eurolite T9, etc..., I can't output to a "normal" video output, i.e. VGA or DVI (what the LEDSync820C takes.) All I can get to output through MAdrix right now is a live "screen cap" of the entire screen, with all the controls- I can't actally get the video window/output ALONE to output.
Any suggestions? I hope I was clear in my explanation. Basically, since the 820C works on ethernet output, I can't figure out a way to use Madrix along with it- (they want me to use LEDSHOWT9 for my video files, which I do NOT want to do, as I find Madrix to be SUPERIOR in it's interface and execution)
Thanks in advance for any ideas/suggestions!
