stubborn matrix

Yikes, ok,
I get everything but step 4. But I'll prolly see that when I come to it.

Thanks very much for taking the time for this.
Cheers.
 
Model in now as a custom, imported and and put in place of old.
Changed # of strings to 10, then clicked individual start nodes, it auto populated 10 starts in increments of 500. YaY!
All that's left is to go re-wire left, right, left etc.

Valuable lesson, thank you, You are awesome!
 
Ok, hopefully last question about matrix. It's now in as a custom model, string 1 node 1, string 2 node 501, string 3 node 1001 etc.
Matrix is running great, However... in test modes from the controller the bottom half 2501 thru 4501 are working perfect.
Bottom half, (2500 pixels) is running bright and clear. Top half? Nope. 1/2 the brightness of the lower. The other weird thing is the colors. Channels 3 and 5 seem to have a mind of their own about colors. They are not correct. Why not any of the others? So other than re-doing some splicing (and assuming that's the problem) what else could it be? If the top half works but at less power, how could that be a bad splice? Been thru the settings 10 times, went out last night walked thru my clickits but I can't locate any problems. Did I miss a step when I imported the custom model?

This will not be the custom model, and splicing issues would not cause this full variety of problems either. This may be per-port brightness or color settings on the controller... let me plug one in and screenshot the place to look.
 
Before we do anything crazy, just check this screen and make sure everything is right. Maybe you did, but still...

And then, if it is not working, a photo or video would help a lot, just to make sure we appreciate the symptoms fully.

Mmm, I see where your going with the RGB thing, mine are correct, as for brightness I have my matrix at 30% Any brighter the USS would probably think I was signaling them.Screenshot (3).png
 
Matrix in layout tab show's purple, just like the Boscoyo models. That's why I'm thinking I have the model part correct. Also you can see the starts for the different strings. I never had that until I followed your steps to get custom.

Not the greatest picture, but the wolf looks great on the bottom. I haven't seen the dark streak in channel 5 until now. Even stranger that it's only on 4 rows of pixels, not 5. Then there's the top half..

Welllll, there can be more than one kind of problem. I wonder if you rerendered and saved, but the other thing that jumps out is that the channel numbers don't go up by 1500 from one port to the next, most are 1500 but there's a 2x1499 and a 1502 ... Hit that upload button one more time too. Or something. It doesn't really explain it IMO unless it does explain it. This is set to DDP, correct?
 
I'm checking the math on the channels now. Yes, it's DDP. I'll also do a check sequence. I'll let you know. Thanks for your effort.
