Ron Boyd Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 https://www.dropbox.com/sh/q7dt90jm6ftmm8h/EXzhQYGStE Here are 4 different vertical Matrices. You can maneuver them into a tree or not. Universe 1 channel 1 starts at the left om the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Messer Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Jerry, Mine is a 16x84 if you want me to email you a few or I can place them on a thumb drive if you are going to be in shop this afternoon. I sent you my cell number by gmail this morning. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrymac Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Hi Jerry, Try Shannon's cool tool, it should give you what you need, http://shannonclaus.com/LOROC/LOROC.htmlLooks like Shannon's tool is for regular string lights or CCR ribbons. Have I missed something or can it still be munipulated for non CCR RGB stings/ribbons? looked throught the manual but didn;t see anything or i may have missed it?

Ron Boyd Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 A lot of folks are using the CCR wizard to do the DMX pixels. It's a little more work because of needing a CCR channel config and a DMX channel config. But a 16 leg x 50 pixels, CCR tree takes 16 fixtures. A 16 leg DMX tree takes 800 fixtures. The visualizer has a fixture limit of 1024 fixtures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stachows Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hi Guys, I am at a loss here. I am looking for a little assistance. I am trying to create a (32 String x 50 Pixel) RGB 360 degree MegaTree. I have tried a number of tools (including the one above), but I keep running into the 1024 fixture limit in the Visualizer. Which gives me only 20 of my 32 strings before maxing out on fixtures. My goal is to get it to import into Superstar so I can start sequencing. Any ideas on the easiest, or best way to do this. Right now I can't even figure out it it's even possible. Thanks,Scott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Boyd Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) https://vimeo.com/85110950 OK Scott, I sent this to your inbox too, but I thought some others may benefit also. Here's 3 videos I've done to get around the Visualizer limit of 1024 fixtures. It's a bit of work because of using CCR channels and then moving the effects to the DMX channels, BUT, you'll only use 32 fixtures instead of 1600 fixtures. I'm afraid if you want to sequence this in SS, you'll need to do it this way. Also, one other thing to mention, unless you have the 40 CCR license, you won't be able to export your sequence from Superstar over to S3. SS uses total channels for export. The 24 CCR version will only export 3600 channels and you need 4800 with your tree. Hope this helps. Hopefully when we get the updates for S3 all of this will be a thing of the past. Good Luck.

bob_moody Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Ron,Since we are on the subject ... couple of things ..1. I use the CCR/DMX method you describe. What is your take on creating a copy of the sequence then deleting the CCR portion for show production? Assuming that the CCR data would be going to a non-existant device this could save alot of overhead.2. I have a VBScript that I wrote that after you export the SUP file will parse through it, take out the 7 special CCR channels (and thier XML index reference) and write a new file leaving the original unmodified. Then when you copy and paste, you copy the original SUP LMS export to the CCR events and the modified lms file to the DMX events ... poof .. your done.

Ron Boyd Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Ahh snap. I thought that was in the videos. Yes, the CCD channels should be deleted after moving over to the DMX channels. Sorry folks if I forgot to mention that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_moody Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Actually haven't seen the vids. Just thought why send 1800 extra channels of data out to bit heaven in production. Side note... I'm still running my show on an old Dell Inspiron 1300 laptop...single processor, 2 GB ram and with all the dmx and lor effects running the CPU never averages over 25% and 2.5% on the 100mb network.. Always amazes me how little it takes to actually run a show... Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
