Robert Juliat, MADRIX Announce Strategic Partnership Robert Juliat announces that all its RDM fixtures are now MADRIX RADAR-compliant, presenting it as a solution for its customers to supervise all lighting devices remotely and smartly. MADRIX RADAX software, released in 2020, is specifically tailored and refined for the theatre and architainment markets. It is designed for remote management, configuration, and monitoring of lighting devices compatible with the RDM protocol. Madrix says the benefits include fast and easy remote fixture configuration from a single computer; automatic RDM fixture patching via drag and drop; data history and reporting with access to all records; and fully automatic 24/7 device monitoring with automatic email notifications. Robert Juliat fixtures can be set up, controlled, and monitored in full, on all parameters, using the MADRIX RADAR software running on a single computer. In addition, every RJ RDM-compliant fixture will act as a dongle to unlock all features of the RADAR system. While other lighting fixture brands can be recognized by MADRIX RADAR, and some parameters set (e.g. mode and DMX address), the advanced features of monitoring, firmware updates, or sending files are not accessible without a license. Purchasing a license will unlock MADRIX RADAR features for any other type of fixture. Robert Juliat has also been appointed as the approved supplier of MADRIX RADAR licenses. MADRIX RADAR licenses to expand a lighting system beyond RJ RDM fixtures can now be obtained directly from Robert Juliat at www.robertjuliat.com and all of their trade dealers. "RDM has been long established," says customer service manager, Thierry Dupont. "MADRIX RADAR takes it to the next level with effortless fixture addressing, fully automatic 24/7 device monitoring during operation, and automatic notifications. New capabilities based on the firmware transfer control (FTC) will allow users to leverage existing standards even more, ensuring smooth workflows and reducing downtime." Christian Hertel, business development at MADRIX, adds, "We are thrilled about this cooperation and confident that it will deliver immense value to customers. MADRIX RADAR is the leading RDM monitoring software tool, and with the brand-new FTC functions, users can now upload firmware to RDM fixtures and devices directly via MADRIX RADAR using standard RDM technology. This is a true game changer -- one software that can handle it all. Industry standards like RDM are made for our industry." Robert Katheras, RADAR lead developer, concludes: "I'm very happy that we have found a strong and reliable partner in Robert Juliat, a team that shares and supports our vision and our commitment to open, future-proof technologies. I'm really looking forward to combining our technical strengths to develop a smooth but powerful system. "We are working closely together to ensure the best possible integration of hardware and software so that all users can fully benefit from the capabilities of the RDM protocol. By coordinating our implementations, validating against shared test setups, and focusing on clean, standards-compliant communication, we aim to provide easy setups and monitoring of RDM equipment."
