Using Props and a PixCon16

Recommended Posts

I am using a PixCon16 for the first time.  I've created a prop (rectangular horizontal matrix) and want to play this on the PixCon16.  What do I do?

I've set the speed as 500K.  Set the unit id as 3 ( I have 2 other units running stand alone).   I urgently need help as I'm supposed to be doing a show at the end of this week.

What is the physical arrangement of the strings?  By that I mean, how many strings, how many pixels per string, are there folds, strings running horizontal or vertical?

I would use Matrix Horizontal Quad , if I was you.

Pixcon boards run on "Enhanced", which if I'm correct is 1000K.

Technically, Enhanced is speed independent, but it is usually used because you need more speed and  it is a way around older 500K devices by making the connection mono-directional (normal RS485 is bi-directional), which is the reason you can't use the trigger inputs on an enhanced network.
