This document covers three objects in the asset browser's SuperStage category: the director camera, the Madrix matrix and white-model rendering.

The other objects in that category have their own documents: screens, projectors, LED tape, lift and rail machinery, lasers.

1. Super Director Camera

A camera in the scene that captures a live picture for screens and projectors to reference. It is one of three media sources for screens and projectors (the other two being project static textures and NDI input).

Parameters

Parameter	Default	Range	Description
Enable Capture	On	—	Whether to capture. Turning it off saves the cost
Capture Resolution	1080 × 1080	width and height ≥ 1	Capture resolution (width × height)
Field Of View	90°	5–170	Field of view

Usage

Place the director camera where you want the shot from and set its orientation and FOV;
Select this director camera as the media source on a screen or projector;
The picture is fed to the screen live.

Notes

Resolution drives the cost directly. Capturing at 4K for a screen far upstage is wasted; pick it from how large the screen actually is in frame;
Several screens can reference the same director camera;
Turn Enable Capture off when it is not needed — capture runs every frame.

2. Super Madrix

Puts MADRIX's live main-output preview onto meshes in the scene.

It does not use DMX. The data comes from the local MADRIX Remote HTTP service: SuperStage pulls the preview image from http://127.0.0.1/RemoteCommands/GetPreviewOutput.bmp, decodes it, and pushes it to a dynamic material as a texture. So what it receives is the picture MADRIX has already rendered, not DMX channel values.

Parameters

Parameter	Default	Range	Description
ScreenMeshActors	Empty	—	The `StaticMeshActor` list that carries the picture. One MADRIX source can drive several screens at once
MaterialIndex	0	0–255	The material slot the dynamic material is applied to. Targets without that slot are skipped
Brightness	1.0	≥ 0	Brightness multiplier
MADRIX Port	80	1–65535	Port of the local MADRIX HTTP service. Changing it takes effect on the next run

Usage

Prepare the StaticMeshActors that act as the LED panels in the scene;
Place Super Madrix and add those meshes to ScreenMeshActors;
Set MaterialIndex and confirm the target meshes have that slot;
Enable the Remote HTTP service in MADRIX on the same port as MADRIX Port here — SuperStage connects to it, not the other way round.

The material on the target mesh needs a Texture2D parameter and a Brightness scalar parameter; the shipped LED screen material already has both.

Notes

How it differs from a screen: a screen plays a video source you pick in Unreal, while this object mirrors whatever MADRIX is currently outputting, so the content is programmed on the MADRIX side;
MADRIX must be running on the same machine and its Remote HTTP service must be enabled — there is no remote-host option;
Matrix data can be recorded into Sequencer tracks and replayed via Take Recorder;
It is not a real LED screen controller and not a substitute for Madrix software — it does visual previs only.

3. Super White Model

A post-process object. Drop it into the scene and the entire world renders as a white model; deleting it restores the original view automatically.

Parameters

Parameter	Default	Description
Enable White Model	On	Master switch. Turning it off restores normal rendering without deleting the object
Clay Color	Light grey	The colour of the white model itself
Background Color	Dark grey	The background colour

Where It Applies

Context	Applies
Editor viewport	Yes
PIE (play in editor)	Yes
Movie Render Queue	Yes

So it can be used directly for stills and video output, not just for looking at in the editor.

Uses

Massing and structure review — strip material and colour out and look only at form and spatial relationships;
Lighting comparison — light distribution is easier to read against a white model;
Storyboard frames for presentations.

Notes

It is a post-process and applies to the whole world; it cannot white-model a subset of objects;
One per scene is enough.
