matrix patcher to begin

Postby alverman » Mon Oct 19, 2015 2:46 pm

Good morning,
I never used led wall directly with pandora and I would try to understand, for one thing, how to create a fixture with matrix patcher.
Lately I've been working with boards with 72 * 72 led step 8 .... this:
http://www.musiclights.it/scheda_prodotto.html?codart=3161

How can I begin to draw them in matrix patcher?
Lacking any panel LED can also check the result by the manager?

For the moment is everything.

Thanks, Alberto

Good evening,
I'm trying to play with matrix without having any ledwall to try.
I tried to create patch, probably meaningless, and importing the PBX in the manager see the result.
How come if I create the tile can not see anything from the manager?
Sorry for my questions senseless but just can not seem to understand the concept of operation. If you can direct me on some article you can read why failing to provide any material I find it hard to understand.

Thanks, Alberto

If you right click on the preview window and set the preview to the output you have the .pbx file on; you can choose to just see what the pixels see, or to grey out everything outside of what you've patched for that.

Thanks for the help JustinR.
I had already tried with .pbx and saw them to monitor but when I put the tile in the pbx not see them.
If I 11x11 tiles 72*72 led I have to first build the tile and then at design time I enter the 11x11 tile in .pbx and when the amount in managers see only black.
Thanks, Alberto

I'm still here :mrgreen:
I have not got a bat in this matrix patcher and I would try to make a small panel led by me.
I bought 4 LED panels 32x32 adafruit that will interface with an Arduino to make the panels accessible via artnet.
I do not need speed or quality, I just need to figure out.

One thing that I have to understand to start is:
If I add a pbx in the output of a player I see in artnet monitor values change based on the movie?
I ask this because in my tests do not see activity artnet output.

For the moment is everything.
Thanks for your patience, Alberto

I see artnet monitor value only if player start !!
Right ?
You can not see the values in artnet monitor without having the player connected?

I try to answer alone:
If it was as I say you could use only the manager without the player !!
Is not it?

But why, if I have to use the manager to have a player to see the data artnet while if I use only one player still see the data artnet?

I think it's because the player is what is doing all of the work...
Video playback and the artnet calculations.

Also, the manager doesn't have an output to put the pbx file on.

Hello,

Art-Net Video output is an Output. So you need a licence that is allowed to do that: Server/Player. If you want to run a single machine and output art-net from it, simply start the Player in Master mode.

I finally managed to see something sensible on my mini ledwall just to understand how it works !! : D
I simply created a matrix of 96x32 (with panels 3x32) Generic 1x1 RGB pixels.
Now I have 4 panels 3X32 matric patcher but it can add up to 99 1X1 RGB Pixel !!
Probably if I see correctly on the 3 boards I did not fully understand how you manage.
Give me a hand?

Thanks, Alberto
