CLS Pixelbar 36 - How to make a fixture?

Hi! I'm new at the forum here. A collegae haves 40 pixelbars-36 from CLS. Now we are trying to run Ledtrix so there is a kind of animation in the show (dj-booth or background). Both we are not experienced in Freestyler so it's very hard to make a fixture. I've looked at the Pixelbar tutorial but still don't get it (grrr). A pixelbar needs 36 or 60 channels. 1.red 2.green 3. blue (4. dim 5. strobe). I've tried some configurations but the whole pixelbar is showing the same colour instead of 12 rgb-colours Who can help me or how can I help myself?

this sounds you dont have the Correct Mode selected on the fixture.

also if you like to use Ledtrix you dont need a Fixture file to run ledrix.
also can you add a PDF file so i can take a look at how this fixture should work.
and Add your Fixture so i can see where its going wrong so i can help you..

Something like this http://www.lichtpunt.nl/upload/document ... lbar36.pdf

S30 mode.

Also have a look here http://www.freestylersupport.com/wiki/f ... s:ledtrix1

There is a part that may by worth to look at "Images, when the pixel is 3RGB colors next to each others ."

The animated images are made as RGB pixels. this means that each pixel has a color that consist of RGB.
When led are used then it is often single color and this look of 3 single leds is not the same as an RGB pixel

Example: A pixel that are yellow will be made with a red and a green led on.
Looking into the 3 led RGB fixture the eyes will see a red and a green light.
Not the yellow as expected.
