LedTrix and Suntrix very Slow, why?
Posted: May 31st, 2010, 8:26 am
I tested the Ledtrix Plugin and built up a little dimmable LED Array with 1 Line and 12 rows. Then I tried the Plugin and it worked.
There are 2 Problems:
1. Adressing: Startaddress = 1, every LED has 1 address. The Software can only Address 12 Lines and 20 Rows, then it says that the Startadress is too high (240 Adresses). May be a Bug. Under Suntrix it works up to 512 Channels.
2. Speed: When you use Ledtrix up to this 12 lines and 1 row (or other way round, who cares ) the refreshrate is okay. When you use the Plugin for more than approximately 20 LEDs (20 Adresses) it gets very slow. On a big 20x12 Wall the Refreshrate is araound 0,5 Hz - 1 Hz.
Interface is a udmx interface, PC is dualcore with 2 gig ram, win xp. Newest Version of FS. The DMX testdevice says that the DMX Refreshrate is normaly 44Hz, Ledtrix running it goes down to 29 Hz. Breaks and other Timings get very long. Breaks incresed to 300 - 600, normal they are around 90.
Where is the problem here? Is it the Computer or does the interface not support this refreshrate?
