You have to either send us a proof of repair (invoice from an apple authorized repair shop) along with your serial number to support@garagecube.com  and we will perform a remote de-authorization for you or If you cannot provide this document or if your are in a hurry , you can use the emergency procedure and perform a remote de-authorization by yourself  from the MadMapper Yourspace page.

About the Remote Reset :

1. Open MadMapper, click at the MadMapper Menu (beside the apple)
2. Choose from the list ” De-authorize MadMapper…”
3. You will have then a window asking your admin password from your computer, if you do not have a password then click OK.

With MadMapper 1.5.1 and above, You need to create Video output surfaces given the number of outputs of your video card(s). This is why  your output Screen appears “black” whereas you can see an image on the  preview output window.

Here’s how to proceed to enable video outputs:

1. Open madmapper and go to the Manage Output tab. (video projector icon)
2. Click on the “+” button to add a video output device.
3. You can scale your video output to crop a part of your video output
   composition, you can even turn the video output to match your video setup.
   from the option pank you need to set the video Output size and Output Destination.
   If you are using a Matrox DualHead2go or Triplehead2go or Zotac dual HDMI adapter
   From the Output Destination drop down menu, the multiple output device. You can select which output you want to link to the device surface.

With MadMapper you can use a camera as a source in put.
You can use any FireWire / Usb camera for live feeds, as long as it is supported by QuickTime. We can’t recommend any specific one as we have not tested all firewire cameras on the market.
For the Spatial Scanner you can use the FireWire camera as well, but the quality of the scan will be very poor so it is best to use the Canon EOS DSLR cameras.

In order to use the Spacial Scanner function of MadMapper, you’ll need either a QuickTime compatible Firewire camera (with a video digitizer) or Canon camera models that are compatible with the Canon EDSDK version 3.6
You can find the list of supported cameras by Canon EDSDK on this page:

https://www.developersupport.canon.com/content/canon-digital-camera-sdk-compatibility-charts

You may also use Firewire based video camera recorder however we do not recommend this as the image quality provided may produce a low quality scan.

We highly recommend that you try the demo of MadMapper to make sure that your hardware is compatible prior to purchasing the software.

Unfortunately the GoPro camera is not a FireWire QT camera, only QuickTime compliant cameras ( with a QuickTime video digitizer) and Canon EOS framework based cameras can be used for the special scanning feature.

In MadMapper 1.7.3 and previous versions
ArtNet universe addresses have two parts, a Subnet value which is the lower 4 bits (0-15) and a ‘universe’ value which is the upper 4 bits (0-15) , which means you have up to 16×16. Use the Subnet and Universe to Compose the universe ID.
For instance universe 1 will be noted as 0:1 in artnet, 15 as 0:15, 16 as 1:0, 17 as 0:2 etc.

The Decimal to ArtNet Path port table page will help you to setup the Arnet universe

The Enttec Mk2 DMX controller is a USB device and MadMapper supports only one universe per USB port. If you need to support multiple universes, use an Artnet DMX controller.

USB DMX Controller – MadMapper (limited) edition that you can find on the garagecube shop is a 1 universe DMX controller and can control up to  512 Channels (170 RGB pixels)

MadMapper is required to export the video mapping composition to the miniMAD device.

Yes, starting with version 3.1, MadMapper is able to export recorded DMX sequences to the miniMAD.

Please check out video tutorials to see how to record DMX sequences.

No action is required: the miniMAD automatically saves all modifications you do on the mapping.
