    Brightness setting in the Color palette

    Interesting. So what is the best way to knock down brightness while maintaining the best color quality? Keep in mind that any apparent brightness above the 15% currently set at the controller bleeds eyeballs and drowns out the rest of the show.

    Brightness setting in the Color palette

    I have several video walls in my display, and while most elements look fine, some appear excessively bright. The pixel brightness is already set to 15% at the controller level. I tried using the Brightness control in the Color palette to adjust the brightness further. While it works, I’ve...

    FPP Projector Control

    Here's my original post. Somehow I'm still suck on this. Does anyone have experience with Projector Control? We have a NEC PA804UL-W projector and are looking to trigger it on and off each day. NEC's previous software had a control section that would do this, but the newest version (capable...

    Copying effects to a new prop/model

    I'm adding a new model to my display that closely resembles one of my current models. physically speaking. Is there a way to easily copy all the effects from the existing model to the new one? I would do it manually, but i have about 90 minutes of total timeline (across 6 sequences) . Thanks

    Can FFP playback 4k video?

    Thanks Dan. I tried a compressing a short video with handbrake in h.265 and got the same black screen-- when in 3840x2160. I tried a few different bitrates and all showed black.

    Can FFP playback 4k video?

    HiAll FPP instances can be very useful for video playback. We use a bunch of them for various things including stand-alone looping kiosks and of course FPP remotes playing video which is synced to a larger lightshows. I have a new instance (FPP 7.5, Pi4) which will be a standalone player...

    FPP Projector Control

    Thanks. Ok, I am able to control the projector with the test app, but still not FPP. I'm guessing, but I think the issue must be with the Port number or with how the command is set up in FPP. I do not see a Port number listed anywhere in the projector menu, so I used the Port number that was...

    FPP Projector Control

    The IP address of the projector is 192.168.16.111 and FPP is 192.168.16.70. Mask should be 255.255.255.0. Yes, they are both connected to the same switch.

    FPP Projector Control

    Hello all-- I'm trying to control a NEC PA804UL-W projector. I have the FPP Projector Control plugin and I have it configured using a similar NEC projector because my projector is not in the list. I have connection type set to IP; Baud Rate 38400, Char bits 8; Stop Bits 1, Parity: None, Pjlink...

    Error with SRx1 V4.00 receiver.

    Sorry, the receiver is a v5 with E-fuses. I do not believe the issue is no data. The F16 is in test mode, doing a ramp. The pixels connected to this receiver respond, until the red LEDs on the outputs come on and the pixels go out. All other pixels on the F16 continue ramping.

    Error with SRx1 V4.00 receiver.

    Hi I'm running two SRx1 V4.00 receivers off an F16v5 and am having an issue with one of them. The receiver in question will run fine for approx 60 seconds in test mode or running a sequence. After about 60 seconds, the red LEDs above each pixel output will light up and the pixels will shut off...

    I'll try it again, but when I first tried just the red and black it did not work.

    4-pin fan control (F16v5)

    Greetings, I connected a 4-pin fan to the fan controller on the F16V5 and it does not seem to fire up the fan. Am I missing the control options on the UI? I believe on previous versions there was a threshold setting. When I first plug in the fan, it will rev up for a moment, but does not turn...
