New to pixel editor and pixel tree

 

Hi I just ordered and want to add my readymade black pixel tree kit – 16 strips of 25 pixels. I open my finish sequence editor at pixel editor and do sequence of the pixel tree and as it as intensity data. Now my questions are below:

1.      What file will I select on my simple show builder to play my sequence and pixel file? Is it the sequence editor file with PE or the Pixel editor file?

2.      I have 2 LOR unit controllers total of 32 channels where or how can I configure or set up my pixel tree? Any configuration or set up to run my pixel tree?

Thank you hoping your response.

1) You will select the Sequence Editor file when using the Simple Show Builder. The Pixel Editor sequence, even though it is a separate file, will be detected and played automatically (as long as you have not gone into your sequence directory and moved or renamed files).

2) I'm not sure what you are asking here. Do you have 2 LOR AC controllers (16 channels each)? If so, these would control lights separate from the pixel tree kit. You would use the Sequence Editor to create a sequence for these lights, and use the Pixel Editor to sequence the lights in the pixel tree kit.

Hi Matt,

Thank you for the response, kindly confirm if my steps/process is correct when doing my sequence to pixel editor and correct me if any suggestion for my steps...

 I open my finish sequence editor at pixel editor and do sequence of the pixel tree and as it as intensity data. Is this correct step because I have all my sequence music at sequence editor and I just want to add on my pixel tree to my sequence editor program.

Regarding on my number 2 question

2.      I have 2 LOR unit controllers total of 32 channels where or how can I configure or set up my pixel tree? Any configuration or set up to run my pixel tree?

I have existing 2 LOR unit total of 32 channels, and now I will have the pixel tree kit, using RJ45 network should I only plug it to any LOR controller to do the light show or should I plug the pixel tree controller on one of the channel in LOR unit? please advise if any connection or configuration needed to play my 2 LOR unit and the pixel tree kit.

 

thank you so much.

not sure if you have the old 16 channel controllers like I have, but I had to create a second network for my PE controlled display elements as they need the enhanced protocol.

 

My old controllers don't support that, so I had to separate the old and the new ones on 2 different networks

What you ordered is eight full strings (50 pixels) which fold so in your screenshot, in the middle section " # of folds in each string" you need to put 1.

Actual # of strings is 8.
