For a short introduction and first hands on, you can also check the Quick Start PDF installed with the LED Mapper application. This document will give all details about the LED Mapper and the LED Output in ArKaos MediaMaster.

After designing the setup in this application, it saves a mapping file that is read by ArKaos MediaMaster who sends its output to the LED displays based on your definition. To create and edit the mapping of the video output to the panels, we provide an external application called the LED Mapper that allows you to manipulate both the spatial arrangement and DMX definitions of all the LED devices involved. From a single ArKaos MediaMaster Server, it is possible to control as many LED fixtures as you want (within the limit of 256 DMX universes) Since LED panel resolution is fairly small, a setup usually consists in quite a bit of panels, possibly with different characteristics and following a very specific layout. Thanks to LED output, you can map the media server video output directly to LED devices using ArtNet (DMX over Ethernet protocol, which can easily be converted into a standard DMX signal using Ethernet-DMX nodes) or through e:cue butler devices.

The LED Mapper for ArKaos MediaMaster is the answer to the market s request for an intuitive and flexible software solution to drive these LED panels or any lighting fixture from a media server. 5 Introduction LED lighting has become very relevant for live entertainment and TV over the last few years.
