Problem to assign Colorweb in DMX

Post by FabS »

Hi guys !

I'm using a colorweb wall 125 this week and i have one problem to assign the dmx fixture in resolume.

this is the DMX way of the colorweb : Image

and i would like to know how can i can create this fixture in resolume ? Because i we can't create a personal snake in resolume....

thank you

That's quite a puzzle of a snake.

To be honest, I'm not even sure what I'm looking at. Are these x/y positions for how the LEDs make up the grid?

In that case, you can get it by cutting it up into two smaller fixtures of 5x4 and 3x3:

And you'd overlap the 3x3 fixture on top of the 5x4 fixture in the advanced output so that they work as one color.

You could also create 576 1x1 fixtures

Is each one of the channel an LED on the 8x8 grid for a total of 9 panels or a panel for a total of 576 panels?

If you're dealing with 9 panels, the Color Web 125 is 8x8 so 'm not sure how you're getting the address to go 1-5,163-161 etc...

Also, why are you skipping 95-162, 257-320, etc...?

I think what we're looking at is a custom rewire job, and each entry is the index of the pixel in the chain, not a DMX channel. We're not seeing 95-162 because of the scrollbar :)

Thank you for your replies, i understand how to create 3x4 and 5x4 fixture, but i don't understand how to add them to control my entire Colorweb ? if i create 10 3x3 and 10 5x4, they will have the same dmx adress and my media will be not in full size ?

All you need to do is assign different DMX start adresses on each fixture to match your rig.
