Product Usage Instructions
Remote Device Management:
To remotely manage your devices using RADAR, follow these
steps:
- Launch the RADAR software on your computer.
- Connect your devices to the software using the provided
connection method (e.g., Ethernet). - Access the device settings through the software interface.
- Configure the desired settings for each device, such as
brightness, color, or operating mode. - Save the settings and apply them to the devices remotely.
Simplified Fixture Addressing:
To simplify the addressing of lighting fixtures using RADAR,
follow these steps:
- Open the RADAR software and navigate to the fixture addressing
section. - Select the project’s lighting fixtures that need to be
addressed. - Modify the DMX start address or other settings as
required. - Save the changes and apply them to the fixtures.
Powerful Automation for DMX Patching:
To automate DMX patching using RADAR, follow these steps:
- Access the DMX patching feature in the RADAR software.
- Select the fixtures that need to be patched in a single DMX
universe or across multiple addresses. - Drag and drop the fixtures in the desired order.
- Save the patching configuration and apply it to the
fixtures.
Fast Workflows for Configuring Multiple Devices:
To configure multiple devices quickly using RADAR, follow these
steps:
- Use the built-in search function in the RADAR software to
locate the devices you want to configure. - Select a single device or multiple entries to make
changes. - Modify the desired settings, such as brightness, color, or
operating mode. - Save the changes and apply them to the selected devices.
Fixture Discovery with Highlight Mode:
To identify fixtures and check their response to DMX commands
using RADAR, follow these steps:
- Enable the highlight mode in the RADAR software.
- Select the fixture you want to identify.
- The fixture will flash with full-on white, making it easy to
locate. - Verify if the fixture responds correctly to DMX commands and if
it is addressed correctly in the installation.
Continuous Device Monitoring:
To enable continuous device monitoring with RADAR, follow these
steps:
- Ensure all your devices are connected to the RADAR
software. - Activate the monitoring feature in the software.
- The software will automatically monitor all devices 24/7
without supervision. - Receive automatic notifications if any device encounters issues
or failures.
RADAR
Management. Manage all of your devices the remote way. Manage them the smart way.
Everywhere, lighting designs beautifully light up the world all around us. And clients expect them to do so without failure, each and every day. Behind the scenes, the lighting industry faces the complex aspects of modern technologies. Increasingly large projects become increasingly difficult to manage and maintain.
That is why today’s DMX lighting fixtures are equipped with Remote Device Management. It is a two-way communication for receiving instructions as well as sending out feedback. When devices report back data, you gain access to a whole new level of available information, insights, and control. MADRIX® RADAR is the complete toolbox to make the most of this data; automatically and efficiently.
Transform how you work with luminaires. Easily configure settings remotely. Let the software monitor devices automatically for you. Quickly see the results in graphical overviews at a single glance. That means that your setup and maintenance processes are much faster, much easier, and much more cost-efficient than ever before.
Supervise all of your lighting fixtures in a single software. Handle large amounts of RDM devices. It is a new kind of application that opens up entirely new possibilities for you and your clients. MADRIX® RADAR includes automatic fixture patching, fully automatic 24/7 device monitoring, automatic e-mail notifications, and much more.
Build a database of past sensor data and see the progression of device parameters, such as temperature and operating hours. Exchange devices that are likely to fail soon, before they do. Make your maintenance costs much more predictable by planning them more effectively in advance.

Configuration. Meet your favorite new addressing tool.
Convenient Remote Access Easily set up your RDM devices remotely. This means you can perform any configuration conveniently from your computer; instead of requiring direct access to the devices themselves in the truss, in the ceiling, or on the facade.
Simplified Fixture Addressing Avoid the complicated procedure to manually set up all of a project’s lighting fixtures by hand before they can be mounted. Freely modify their settings, such as the important DMX start address, after any installation has taken place.
Incredibly Powerful Automation Let the software automatically patch all fixtures in a single DMX universe or across the entire range of addresses. Simply use drag and drop to put them in the correct order. Setting up DMX addresses has never been faster.
Incredibly Fast Workflows Drastically reduce the time-consuming process of configuring a large number of devices. Use the built-in search function and change settings of a single device or select several entries to quickly make multiple changes at once.
Useful Fixture Discovery Use the built-in highlight mode to let a fixture flash with full-on white for quick identification of fixtures in your installation. See if a device correctly responds to DMX commands or if the lighting fixtures are addressed correctly in a row.
Full Support MADRIX® RADAR supports all RDM parameters detailed in the official protocol specifications of ANSI E1.20 and ANSI E1.37-1 over Art-Net (including the ArtRdm package). All fixed parameters (PIDs for Set and Get) and manufacturer-specific parameters are included.
Monitoring. Fully automatic 24/7 device monitoring with automatic notifications.
Continuous Monitoring Let the software monitor all of your devices 365 days a year, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. It does so fully automatically without any required supervision. This simply wasn’t possible before.
Making Sensor Data Understandable MADRIX® RADAR checks the status of devices, such as voltage, temperature, status, power cycle, life cycle, and more. Graphical overviews allow you to quickly see if a sensor value is within its specified limits or out of its valid range.
Event Reports In addition to merely requesting and receiving information, the software will apply its own logical routines in order to create events for you. By probing and validating incoming data, MADRIX® RADAR provides actionable reports for you.
Automatic Notifications If MADRIX® RADAR detects any irregularities, you can receive automatic status updates within the software, run a PowerShell script, or let the system conveniently send you e-mails. In short, you are always up to date.
