Matrix Mess

[Boof63]

Nzl , each output has 170 + 170 + 35 = 375 so equals u51=170 + u52=170 + u53=35 (channel 105) thus output 2 starts at u53 ch 106 as listed above. This is advateks recommendation . Should I make it as you have suggested , this would then match up with HLS as it uses 12 universes to run the effects?

Yes BUT you have got 375 pixels on output 1 but only 2 universes selected. 51 and 52

I don't think that's right Dennis. I think boof has universes 51, 52 and up to channel 105 on universe 53 going to output 1. Then output 2 starts at channel 106 on universe 53. The number of pixels and channel numbers on the pixlite 4 seem right to me.

You are both correct, however we have correct lift off , will post pictures of configs tonite.
off to work now
Thanks to all and sundry who have advised, helped, been frustrated by me and my idiocy over this saga.
thanks again couldn't have done it without your involvement.
Cheers BOOF

Matrix Setups
1. Your sequencer is KING!!!
2. if you need 12 universes (or whatever) then that's is your GUIDING LIGHT!!!
3. Match sequencer universes to your controller/s.
4. Match the output for XL/NC or other programs to output effects to match your Sequencers universe requirement
5. Things should work!!
below are pix of setups for 20 strings x 75 pixel matrix.
HLS is sequencer , Pixlite4 is controller and XLights/Nutcracker.

(*note for XL/Nutcracker users Config for matrix model is as a Vertical matrix, (75 strings by 20 pixels) using bottom left as starting point. when you rotate a vertical matrix 90 degrees it becomes a horizontal matrix with the starting point now in the top left corner (which matches the physical layout of the matrix)
Hope this helps anyone else who may have been put off by my stupidity. Cheers and thanks again for all the help

Well done Boof.. that validates what I figured was the correct setup for Xlights and Pixlite.
Now you can get back tp WATCHING the lights 8)

Again thanks to all who took the time to help out, had new family drive by last night and lad was so impressed with matrix and frozen video when he went home he got mom to bring grandma right around and have a look.
So yeah its all worth it (tho at times .........)
