    Low Brightness and gamma

    Thanks for the example Merryoncherry. I'm a sound guy so your example, which I hadn't considered, made perfect sense. I often joke that I use my lights to attract people to listen to my music! 😁 In my rookie pixel year I ran everything at 100% brightness on my PMT. Haha. I kept scratching...

    Low Brightness and gamma

    Hi Mike. Thanks for the response. "Did you try the gamma lookup table generator? At gamma 2.0 it shows the output to be zero all the way up to 11. Move cursor right over the gamma line and it shows a little popup with the specific values." Well I tinkered a bit but since I didn't...

    Low Brightness and gamma

    Hi Skymaster, Thanks for the response and link. So, I guess I must be as dumb as a bag of rocks! :unsure: Haha. I obviously still don't see the 'big picture' as to how some of the terms are defined or represent and used. I just don't understand this: "any input from 0-26 will result in 0...

    Low Brightness and gamma

    Thanks merryoncherry.... Rules of thumb are great to know. Yeah...you're correct I over 'engineered' power for sure. I started using pixels even before 2021 so I've always gone with the old high wattage/amperages on pixels. But like you said it leaves me room to expand so I like that. In...

    Low Brightness and gamma

    Thanks for the response and explanation merryoncherry...., Hodgepodge...Haha. Yeah, I was afraid of that. It's sort of hard to describe things logically when you're not familiar with some of the basics. It makes asking questions a chore since you're not even sure exactly what to ask...

    Low Brightness and gamma

    Thanks for the responses Skymaster and Merryoncherry. Wow, now my head is about to explode! Haha. I will need to ponder this to sort through it enough to understand. Hope you guys don't mind sharing a bit more information by fielding a few questions to help me further clarify my...

    Low Brightness and gamma

    Hello All, Looks like there is not a lot of activity in this area lately but I thought I would post a question and see if I get a response. I run WS2811 bullets at 20% brightness on my matrix (set at the Falcon f16v3 controller). Currently I do not use a gamma setting (set to zero). I am...
