HowardShank Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Hmmm.. So if I add 3 CCR's, does that count as 471 channels now?LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowardShank Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 I guess I have to enter a new category during the LOR contests now... hm... is that good or bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, that's a very interesting point. I'm sure some folks will only want to count the macro channels for the contest rules.Luckily I don't have to worry about that this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Roberson Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I say if you have to individually program it it is added to your channel count.If you are programming 3 channels with 1 RGB channel I would say that is 1 channel.But hay, that just me.:shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelSturman Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 And what if you use a ServoDog to move other light channels, does that count as a channel in the contest. Or what if you construct a way (with brushes) to spin a color ribbon with modified free spinning servo, effectively giving you a circular array of pixels...:?... Hmm, maybe I WILL try that.

TitusCarnathan Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I think that each ccr should count for 7 channels because of the macro effect instead of counting 157 channels. or maby LOR could do a diffrent contest instead of counting channels count controllers instead of 32 or less channel catagory have maby 3 or less controllers etc....

-klb- Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Maybe it should depend on how you are programming it. If it is in single pixel mode, with the current software, you have a R, G, and B channel to count. If you have it in 50 pixel mode, you have all 150 channels to deal with.So, maybe the formal definition should be the number of channels in your configuration that are sequenced, and result in commands altering your display.

iresq Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I count the LED indicator lights on my controllers! So far, I have 77 lights hung. 3 strands of 25 C9's and two controllers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryMartin Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Well I have seven Firefly controllers and I program each pixel in each color separately since LOR hasn't given us virtual RGB channels yet. That's 48 channels in my sequence for each controller! (336 channels)What about the iDMX1000? I think you should only count channels used in the sequence.
