I was wondering if there are any additional videos (YouTube or Vimeo) out there on how to use the Advance String Configuration set up? Other than the Advatek website or HolidayCoro (I've watched those several times and not getting what I think I need out of it).
Here is what I'm trying to do and need some guidance or redirection!
Outputs 1-8 will be 12V, using 2811 (12V) rectangular modulars. 20ct on Output1, and another 20 on Output 2. That will be all for 12V (output 3-8 will be entry for now).
Or would Univ. 15 & 16 go in the String 3 & 4 fields?
This seems "simple" enough in my head, but maybe I'm just missing a step?? I'm using XLights/Nutcracker for this testing, so I am mirror the set up to what the Advance String Config says. But I'm not getting the results I expected. I have tested just one string at a time (one universe at a time an all the strings work), but when I try to hook them all up to simulate my set up, I'm having difficulties. Only part of the 50ct will light up, and that's only 1 of the 2 strings)
Oh! and I realize I'm completely UNDER utilizing the potential of this controller, but this is only for testing the pixels and putting to use everything I've been reading for the past year.
Thanks in advance for any assistance/guidance.

- Output 1: Univ.1, ch 1-60
- Output 2: Univ.2, ch 61-120
- Output 15; Univ. 3, ch 121-270 (Or does this need to be Univ. 15)
- Output 16; Univ. 4 ch 271-420 (Or does this need to be Univ. 16)
- on the 2811 rectangular mods? 20mods x 3 ch ea = 60 ch, right?
- 50ct 2811, 50 nodes x 3 ch ea = 150 ch, right?
