ryanfodgod Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 hey guys I'm trying to add 50 count pixel bulbs to my roofline in the visualizer. why cant I just draw the string set the universe and first pixel cannel count? what am I missing? thanks in advance...

Don Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 LOR Pixels using the LOR protocol, or DMX? You can use the CCR Draw Tool or 'Draw Pixel String' tool, depending on what your wanting to do. Are you getting any error message? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanfodgod Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 just dmx I tried both draw tools but cant designate the channel for the first pixel... only error message if I duplicate the first pixel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Double click on the fixture (on the right hand side) and set the starting pixel there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanfodgod Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 I think I figured it out. I guess were talking pixel number now instead of channel number.... its working now... thanks ......happy lighting.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psjoe Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Do I need to go to Pro to use NEW CCPixel strings in Visualizer? I'm using 3.14 Standard and everything works great so I didn't see the point of upgrading license. Will be buying 3 CCP strings and the 8_CCR Superstar license.

Vince4xmas Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 How do I add roofline smart pixels using the LOR protocol in Visualizer? Also, how can I make a fixture in Visualizer scale smaller? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Laff Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 If you have S4 it's simple you select in visualizer the pixel tool draw your line on your roofline and add the number of pixels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it's LOR, you may not even have to do that, but don't quote me. How do I add roofline smart pixels using the LOR protocol in Visualizer? Also, how can I make a fixture in Visualizer scale smaller? ThanksDraw it as a CCR. Click on the prop and grab on of the 4 corner squares and click and drag.

LOR Staff Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 You can use any tool in the Visualizer you like with any software level (demo - pro). However the rest of the suite will only control those lights that your level can control. IE, if you have basic, you can only control LOR Units 1 and 2 on REGULAR. You need at least Advanced to control DMX native fixtures. Etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince4xmas Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I have PRO level. When defining the "pixel" prop where is the LOR network information entered.It only depicts Universe # and #pixels. I have done it with dumb RGB. Had to enter LOR information such as network, unit# and r/g/b unit numbers. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOR Staff Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Use CCRs when dealing with pixels that use LOR protocol.Use DMX Pixel Universes with pixels that use DMX protocol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Laff Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Whatever controller your using for the pixels you have to put that controller in network preferences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avind Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Hello All, I am just starting into the RGB world. I have Pro / 4.2.12. I am having difficulties with the Sequence Editor and the Visualizer regarding programming and display of pixels. Attempt 1: Set up Sequencer as DMX Universe, Unvierse 1 starting at Pixel 1. Did a test of 16 Pixels using on / off. Created a Pixel string in Visualizer set to Universe 1 starting at Pixel 1. Played song, nothing in Visualizer. Attempt 2: Using same Sequencer setup I setup a standard light string in Visualizer and pointed it to DMX for device, Universe 1 with the first channel as Pixel 1, the second as pixel 2. Nothing displays in Visualizer. Attempt 3: Read the information here and created a CCR in Visualizer starting at physical pixel 1, regular network, Base unit 09,Unit ID Mode Normal, Resolution - tried 50 and 16 Pixels, Channel Mode tried Triples and Sequential. In Visualizer when using Triples I would see the first pixel turn on as red, the second one as green and the third one as blue. The pixel string had 16 pixels and when it reached the end, the pattern would repeat. When using Sequential, the pixels came on in sets of three which were colored red. When it reached the end of the string it repeated from the beginning. Question - 1) How do I set up the Sequencer and Visualizer to show pixel strings?2) How do I program the color of the pixels?3) How do I add a RGB controller into the mix to get it to run with my LOR equipment? I have read numerous topics in the help files without finding sufficient information to get this to work. Is there some resource that would help me figure this out without spending endless hours regretting my decision to use RGB lights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be running for the Visualizer to show DMX. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince4xmas Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 When I choose CCR for Visualizer prop the settings limit the starting pixel (1-50) and the resolution (50 max) I have network set at AuxA and Base Unit ID at 01.The issue is I am using a Pixcon16 that can drive 170 pixels. So I need to input numbers greater than 50. Please advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
