Hi-Tech Audio & Image, one of the leading distributors of pro audio and lighting solutions in
India,
successfully conducted the country's first offline MADRIX training sessions in Mumbai, Bengaluru,
and New Delhi. The sessions aimed to enhance the skills of lighting professionals in the
fast-evolving domain of advanced lighting control and programming.
The workshops were led by Chintan Patel, Director of Director of Chintan Patel Acoustics and
Lighting Solutions (CPALS) and an expert in MADRIX systems. These training sessions offered
participants practical insights and hands-on experience with MADRIX 5.7 features, including OSC,
time and location scheduling, CSV fixture list import, and the background image functionality for
precise pixel mapping. Compatibility with MA consoles through network triggers was also
demonstrated. Participants engaged in live video sessions with the MADRIX team in Germany, adding an
interactive dimension to the workshops.
"The purpose of this 3-city training tour with Chintan Patel was twofold: to empower our local
talent with cutting-edge knowledge and to elevate brand awareness for MADRIX in India. Through live,
practical sessions, participants experienced firsthand the flexibility, creativity, and technical
superiority of the MADRIX lighting control system. Such exposure enhances the confidence of lighting
professionals in using MADRIX products, and it also helps them see how MADRIX can redefine the
visual atmosphere in various setups, from nightclubs and concerts to large-scale installations,"
said Yash Gupta, Vice President of Hi-Tech Audio & Image.
The Mumbai session opened the series, attracting professionals from the entertainment and event
production industries. Bengaluru's training focused on creative techniques for live shows and
broadcast events, while the Delhi session explored MADRIX integration with existing systems,
benefiting system integrators, rental companies, and freelance lighting designers.
"India's lighting industry is expanding rapidly, and MADRIX is set to be a key player, offering a
versatile tool that's easy to use for diverse projects. The recent training showcased MADRIX 5.7's
new features, such as OSC, Time and Location Scheduling, CSV Fixture List Import, and the Background
Image feature. This last addition allows users to create patches directly on venue photos, mapping
pixels for fixture placement with precision. A key FAQ addressed was MADRIX's compatibility with MA
consoles, enabling integration through network triggers. Participants also interacted with the
MADRIX team in Germany through a live video session, making it a highly engaging experience," shared
Chintan Patel.
The session aligns with Hi-Tech's goal of bridging the knowledge gaps amongst professionals in the
industry
Reflecting on the broader impact of these workshops, Rajan Gupta, CEO-Founder of Hi-Tech Audio &
Image, stated: "This training marked a milestone in advancing our industry by bringing world-class
lighting programming knowledge directly to our clients and partners. Hosting this offline training
in India was a conscious decision to bridge the knowledge gap in innovative lighting control and
ensure that professionals have direct access to hands-on expertise in MADRIX's powerful system. This
first-ever MADRIX training in India aligns with Hi-Tech Audio & Image's vision to bring innovative,
premium lighting solutions to the Indian market, ensuring our clients remain on the forefront of
technology."
Adding to this, Managing Director, Nirdosh Aggarwal commented, "By facilitating hands-on experience
with MADRIX, we're not only building competence but also creating an industry-wide appreciation for
the brand, positioning MADRIX as a go-to choice in dynamic lighting control. This initiative will
undoubtedly play a crucial role in strengthening MADRIX's reputation in India as we continue to
support lighting professionals with the knowledge and tools they need for success."
Participants praised the training for its relevance and practicality. Ajay K. Teja, Sales & Product
Manager at Hi-Tech Audio & Image, noted, "Feedback from participants has been overwhelmingly
positive, with many expressing confidence in using MADRIX for their projects. The training not only
strengthened technical skills but also encouraged the community of like-minded professionals eager
