MadMapper miniMAD - Synchronisation

6
EXPORT
For OSC control, you can either select automatic network conguration or manual network conguration
and input the IP-address and mask the MiniMad will use on the network.
When using automatic network conguration, the MiniMad will try to acquire its IP address and
mask from a DHCP server if there’s one available on the network, else it will use its internal network
conguration mechanism, getting a random 169.x.y.z IP address with a 255.0.0.0 network mask.
When using manual network conguration, and in case you export to several MiniMad units on the same
network, make sure each MiniMad has a unique IP address.
Once your mapping and media has already been exported to the MiniMad, you then have to option to
either export the mapping or the media.
You can also reset all of the export settings to default by clicking “Load Default Settings”.
Finally, click the “Export” button to start the export.
The process may take some time depending on the number of movie les and their duration.
MadMapper will avoid transcoding movie les that are already optimised on the SD-card.
Once exported, the SD-card should be automatically ejected so you can directly stick it in your MiniMad.
SYNCHRONISATION
Connect the MiniMad units on the same ethernet network to synchronise media-playback automatically.
Movie synchronisation happens on every MiniMad units playing a movie with the exact same frame
count and framerate, even though their le names are dierent.
Every media-related action made on any MiniMad happens instantly and automatically to every MiniMad
units:
- media change
- pause
- restart
- playback mode
- audio mode
- image display-time
Note that media change works properly if every MiniMad units contain a le with the same name, even
though its content is dierent.
Create a MadMapper project using the video-wall template, import your pictures and videos,
and export the dierent projectors to as many synchronised MiniMad units.
The setup couldn’t be easier: Just connect all your MiniMad with an ethernet cable to a network switch,
and wait until they automatically synchronise.
Note that you can also connect two MiniMad units directly using an ethernet cable.
