With LedTrix we only want to control the colors because it is a tool to display graphics meaning that only 2, 3, and 4 are of interest.\\ | With LedTrix we only want to control the colors because it is a tool to display graphics meaning that only 2, 3, and 4 are of interest.\\ | ||

+ | ===== 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.\\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | This leads to that the images may not look as expected unless it is real RGB leds that are used.\\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | Also if the fixture places the colors next to each others like the Revo 4 from American DJ this are to be taken into account.\\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | This don’t means that these types of fixtures can’t be used but it means that the images don’t looks as expected.\\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | Also a thing to note is that many fixtures comes with a white led. RGBW.\\ | ||
+ | Images only have RGB information and LedTrix has therefore no white control in the setup panel. This means that this has to be skipped like bellow.\\ | ||

+ | The address for each pixel will then look like this.\\ | ||
+ | It is basically a 8 x 8 matrix with all colors next to each others.\\ | ||

+ | Note: The pixel order may be different. Here it is From Left to Right, Top to Bottom but I have not hat a Revo 4 available and have therefore not been able to verify this. \\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | And in LedTrix the Setup where the white channel are skipped will then look like this.\\ | ||
