jgp01 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Does anyone know if it's possible to use a pixel screen controller to control pixel strings? I'm basically talking about the controllers they use for modular displays and concert backdrops. I'm sure there's some sort of correletion....

jgp01 Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Ok 1st off Ok I do appreciate your sales pitch, but I didn't ask for a complete pixel control system, I asked a question. And Travis, who is Fabian Gordon?? (Gordon Lights?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitusCarnathan Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 You could use Sandevices e682 controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebaronn Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I do not see why not. Your pixel screen controllers wouldn't really care where your pixels were. In fact when sequencing, if you add effects (based on a matrix screen so to speak) the controller would just tell the lights what to do, it may be mapped out all across your display instead of a small matrix. Sometimes adding a video render for a pixel screen to a linear RGB set can have some awesome yet unintended effects! Any controllers in particular?

jgp01 Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 I love how when you ask a question people tell you other stuff to use...lol Yes I could use a Sandevices controller, I could use J1sys's controllers I could use multiple dongles and multiple DMX universes etc etc etc. But if I ask a specific question, can we try to focus a little? (I'm really not trying to be a jerk),it just seems almost every time I'm on this board someone forgoes myquestion, and comes at me with some other piece of hardware. If you want to try to sell me something at least do it in a round about way, addressing my question first...lol. I do not see why not.

No Baron, I was on Alibaba and I searched Pixel Curtains and Pixel screens and some controllers came up that I wasn't familiar with. I guess I could E-mail tha mfg. for more info, I just figured I'd ask the "community" first. and thanks Travis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebaronn Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) May want to try your question over at doityourslfchristmas.comI am of the opinion, there is always a way. May not be the easier, cheapest, cleanest, but there is a way. Sometimes, if your google-fu is strong, that is your best friend.I am sure someone over there will have a great idea for you. Others will try to sell you something. But, you have me curious, so I may start searching for pixel curtains on alibaba. I was speaking with Mr Gordon in early 2012 about pixel curtains but it didn't pan out.Always looking for a new hole to throw money in!

jgp01 Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Very cool. If you have a revelation, please share! (and iI think it was actually AliExpress (same difference)) And thanks for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John2571 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 If you are going the diy aproach (I am assuming you are) than the e682 is the way to go. Of you were looking at a comerical approach than the High End Systems Axon media server would better suit you. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
