PollToMVR: A tool to perform device discovery and save found devices in an MVR

Posted November 15, 2025  ‐ 1 min read  ‐ Categories: GDTF, MVR

PollToMVR is a tool to perform device discovery via ArtNet or RDM E1.20 and to save found devices in an MVR (My Virtual Rig) scene file.

The MVR workflow has another tool in its tool bag - the PollToMVR has been announced in the GDTF Forum and it allows to discover devices (via Art-Poll or RDM), and export these via MVR file for quick patching or patch update into tools that support the MVR file format.

The PollToMVR includes GDTF Share integration, allowing to seamlessly download GDTF files for the discovered devices, to create an MVR file with GDTF devices descriptions.

Some devices do support Art-Net but not Art-RDM. During network discovery, if these devices provide DMX address and Universe in the ArtPoll reply, for them, the patching address is also correctly provided.

During the process, multiple MVR Layers can be created for better devices organization.
