Sound Output

Post by Olli_itz »

Hi folks,

will there be a chance that I can have sound output from Videos?
Can't be that complicated to implement :)

We have a 2 hours Countdown with Audio Samples every 30 minutes and
Music for the last 2 minutes.
Perfect would be Stereo - oder Mono Output with from Madrix self
generated SMPTE Timecode on the 2nd Channel.

What do you say?
Any Chance to get this in the next Time?

By the way:
DMX Control is very lazy.
With ArtNet it's much better.

Will there be an Official Fixture for MALighting GrandMA2 in the future?
At the moment I use the fixture from AlexP - slightly modified - to fit my preferences in the GMA 2.
When you need a tester for the fixture feel free to contact me..

Hi Olli,

Thanks for your feedback!
But unfortunately I must say that there isn't a chance to see this in the next time. I can't even tell if it will ever be implemented. Chances are unlikely. And please let me tell you that it is complicated to implement. Please trust me on this one! :wink:

And could you please tell us more about DMX control is lazy and Art-Net is better. What exactly do you mean?

It is hard to say if there will be an official grandMA 2 fixture. So far we have no access to a grandMA 2.
Would you like to create one? We could also publish your fixture on the website. Please let us know!

Thanks again! I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Regards, Martin

Hi Martin,

I know that it's not that easy to implement this feature.
Was just kidding.

In the moment we play the Video from a DVD Player and capture the Signal with a seperate Capture card. Unfortunately we aren't able to use a Laptop instead of a Tower PC because of the capture card.

When I'm using a USB DMX interface for DMX IN i have a little delay.
Haven't measured it - but I think it's more than a quarter to half a second.
With Artnet Input it's much better.

AlexP - here created a fixture. It's available on MA-Share.net
I just changed a few things - to fit my workflow.
Currently our tour is still running and on every Tourdate I do small changes... So after the tour i'll upload my finished fixture there.

U can have a look there - No need to register for Downloading the fixture.
There is also an onPC Version from MA Lighting. So you can have a look at the fixture.
