Looking for SSL file for American DJ Mega Pixel LED

Post by Pete Green »

I haven't seen any really good simulation of these types of fixtures anywhere. Would anyone have any information or can point out how I could create my own?

I know I'm not supposed to ask but I don't have the time to create one myself, I tried and wasn't even close.

Does anyone have the fixture file for the ADJ Mega Pixel?

As this can be setup in several different modes, what mode are you trying to reproduce in the vis?

You are never going to make ONE profile that works in all modes.

Consider making several profiles that could be used. This is something you really need to work on a decide what you want to see from the vis.
If someone made one for you it still might not be what you want or understand how to use.

I meant the actual fixture file not the visualizer file. It's a popular fixture I figured someone had made one by now.

In which case I will apologize. It will be really easy to make an FS fixture profile. Have a look at the Chauvet Colorstrip profile.
Its done using marcros mostly. This is probably the best way to do it.
Have a go and if / when you get stuck, post what you have done and we will help you finish it.
If someone had made one already then chances are it would have been posted already. Maybe it could be you ?

The Chauvet Colorstrip is only a 4 channel fixture, that has chases and colour change, colour fade programs etc. built in selectable by DMX. Also as RGB wash light strip controlled by DMX. It does not allow fully control of all the segments, where as the Mega Pixel has 24 banks and each bank can be a different colour (RGB mixing), and has up to 28 channels. So creating a fixture for this is much more complicated both for FreeStyler and Easy View (ScanLibrary).[/quote]


I know that its not really the same. It was ment as a suggestion on a way it could be controlled. As its a variable channel fixture its probably an idea to make several profiles. As for the 28 channel mode, I'd break that down a bit by pretending that I have several independant RGB fixtures rather that just the one.
