mark obermiller Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I'm planning for next year. I have mainly incandescent mini lights and I want to convert to all LED. After checking pricing on LEDS verses pixels, I find that I can buy pixels, controllers, power supplies, and so on for about the same cost as pixels. The issue? Can LOR S 4 handle 60,000 channels. Right now I'm running around 9,000 for which 7,104 channels are for my pixel tree which is a 32 X 74 resolution. The rest are pixels on arches and raw DMX and LOR channels. A couple of my files are approaching 1 gig in size. These large files take a while to load and save. When I run the sequences I have currently, I have no lag or issues. My show computer is a very powerful machine so my computer is capable but is S 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I don't know about the max channels but you can daisy chain up to 240 LOR controllers. So if you chained 240 CCP's together that would be 72,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebaronn Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I am running 18k channels now.Originally I had lots of lag during video playback on my matrix (and even during a static picture moving across the matrix). It was originally rendered at 20fps. I scaled it down to 10fps and it seems good.Xlights has no issues running the show at any fps setting. My computer is more than capable.I think the issue is s4, it cannot hang.I love sequencing in LOR, but it looks like I need to find something else to actually run the show.
