- | ====== LedTrix – Setup Window ====== | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | Instead of describing the parameters that can be set in the “Setup window” and example has been made. | ||
- | |||
- | In the example I have used 8 x ”Kam Led 800 Stripline” to create an 8 x 8 matrix. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | {{: | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | Each Kam has 8 segments that uses 6 DMX channels for control. | ||
- | The 6 channels looks like this bellow. | ||
- | |||
- | 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.\\ | ||
- | A whole Kam stripline uses 6 x 8 = 48 addresses and whole matrix of 8 Kams uses 8 x 48 = 384 addresses. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | Note: | ||
- | I a case where only 3 channels are used to control each segment DNX 512 = 512 addresses can control 170 segments and this gives a matrix of max 13 x 13. | ||
- | |||
- | {{: | ||
- | |||
- | Kam LED 800 Stripline Set to 8 segments | ||
- | |||
- | {{: | ||
- | |||
- | All Kams are placed with DMX addresses next to each other. See the figure.\\ | ||
- | This gives a start address = 2 because it is the first red segment.\\ | ||
- | And for every 3 addresses we are to skip 3 to get the next red segment.\\ | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | Bellow these values can bee seen.\\ | ||
- | As the first segment in the matrix is upper left corner the mode “Mode” entry is set to this.\\ | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | Remember to press the “Auto address” button” | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | Looking on the color / address window the addresses can be checked.\\ | ||
- | First Kam, segment 1 has adr. 2, 3, 4 and segment 2 has adr. 8, 9 and 10.\\ | ||
- | This correspond to the drawing above.\\ | ||
- | |||
- | {{: | ||
- | |||
- | ---- | ||
- | **Image Control** \\ | ||
- | The image is normally larger than the matrix that are used display it. There are some parameters that can be used to move the matrix.\\ | ||
- | Here is a gif that can be used to show the effect of these parameters. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | ** “V. Offset and H. Offset” ** \\ | ||
- | This is a manual way to move the matrix Vertical and Horizontal around in the image.\\ | ||
- | Here are two plots with the offset set to 0 and 3 \\ | ||
- | |||
- | {{: | ||
- | |||
- | ** “Auto. align” ** \\ | ||
- | If you set on the Auto. align then when you select an image it will automatically be centered to the matrix. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | In this case with a image of size 20 x 20 it will automatically set the both offsets to 6.\\ | ||
- | This can be seen if you exit the setup window, select the image and then return to the setup window.\\ | ||
- | The offsets have now the values 6\\ | ||
- | |||
- | {{: | ||
- | |||
- | ** “V. spacing and H. Spacing” ** \\ | ||
- | To demonstrate the spacing function a matrix of 20 x 5 is used.\\ | ||
- | Spacing is if you only want to mount a reduced no of fixtures.\\ | ||
- | If this parameters is used then the fixture buildup are to be symmetrical.\\ | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | The spacing don’t start at the first colon / row but the colon / row with then spacing no.\\ | ||
- | Also when the spacing is to high so the matrix is larger than the image then the preview don’t perform as expected.\\ | ||
- | Here spacing 1,2,3 and 4 are shown.\\ | ||
- | |||
- | {{: | ||
- | |||
- | Matrix larger than image.\\ | ||
- | Here spacing are 5 and 6 and as it can bee seen the function is not well definde here so this setting are to be avoied.\\ | ||
