In this tutorial, we will create an easy 2D patch with the help of the Matrix Generator for DVI output.

Task: We have to create a patch for a DVI output. The screen's resolution is 160 pixels X and 90 pixels Y.

1- In MADRIX, please go to Preferences > Matrix Generator.

[Keyboard shortcut: F2]

Matrix Generator

2- The Matrix Generator opens with the default settings.

The full explanation of all functions of the Matrix Generator is found in the MADRIX 5 manual chapter: »Using the Software > Patching > Matrix Generator.

3- Now we have to change the settings according to our task, to patch a DVI resolution of 160 x 90 pixels.

  • The Protocol must be changed to DVI.
  • In this example, we create a patch with the product:! generic RGB Light 1 pixel
  • The Count X will be set to 160, the Count Y will be set to 90, and the Count Z we don't change and leave it at 1.

After we change this setting, we click “OK“. [Keyboard shortcut: Enter]

4- After the Matrix generator was closed, MADRIX immediately created the new matrix of 160 x 90 pixels.
