16bit control on LED colors

Post by foxrider »

Hi All,

I'm a new user on Madrix and I would like to seek some help from all the experienced user here.

I would like to control 16bit RGBW led strips via DMX but I could not find any fixture profile in the fixture library. I've tried to create a new fixture but I do not know how to assign fine channels to a dmx channel.

Greatly appreciated if you can share with me how to get this done. Thank you.

Hello foxrider,
Welcome to the MADRIX forum.

MADRIX is designed to control 8bit fixtures.
If you want to control a 16bit color fixture you will have 2 possibilities.

Option 1: Set the fine value of the fixture to a fixed value 255.
Now you will work only with the coarse value and you can control the fixture with 255 steps.

Option 2: Assign the DMX channel for coarse and fine to the same color definition and positon. In that case both channels will get the same value. And it will a bit more emulate a 16 bit resolution.
