Description

MADRIX is just another lighting control software that uses a huge .mflx file (in xml format) as fixture library.

Interesting facts:

  • It supports outputting in e:net format that is understood by the e:cue butler (See manual)
  • It also seems to support MA lighting fixtures (as of download page)

Sample:

<fixture version="0x03000000" unit_uuid="0085ade3-7176-42e1-8076-7470717cc2e7">
  <unit_specification version="0x03000000">
    <manufacturer value="EUROLITE"/>
    <homepage value="http://www.eurolite.de/"/>
    <unit_name value="Audience Blinder 4xPAR-36 TCL LED"/>
    <short_name value="LED Blinder"/>
    <protocol_name value="12 Ch Mode"/> <!-- protocol_name means mode! -->
    <pixel_count version="0x03000000" x="10" y="1" z="1"/>
