MADRIX Forum

Hi guys,

My client has a LED strip with 4 dmx channels, ch1 - dimmer, ch2 - R, ch3 - G, ch3 - B.

so how to create a fixture with ch1 - dimmer value with 255 and RGB control by colour effect.

Thank you
Regards
Simon

Hello Simon,
.
You have to know MADRIX dim the pixel by using the values of the RGB colors. So the dimming channels have to be always 255 (fixed). To create a fixture with such settings please open the MADRIX "Fixture Editor". To open the "Fixture Editor" go to "Start > All Programs > MADRIX 3 > Fixture Editor".
.
1.) Please open the MADRIX fixture library like explained in the following link:
http://help.madrix.com/tutorials/html/i ... ditor.html
.
2.) Create a new fixture. To create a new fixture go to "Fixture > Add New Fixture".
.
3.) Please fill the "Fixture Information. Pay attention at the lines:
- Voxel Amount: Here you have to set the right pixel/voxel amount of your fixture.
- Color Depth: If you have a RGB fixture plese select RGB at toolbox.
- DMX Channel Amount: Here you have to write the whole channel amount of the fixture which you want to create.
.
4.) Go to the "Channels" settings. Klick the "+" button and the allocation of the channel will be added. Now you have to set the settings for this channel. More information about the settings you can find at the tutorial link: http://help.madrix.com/tutorials/html/i ... ditor.html
and at the manual:

.
Note: If there are dimmer channels: Add the dimmers at the right channels in the channel list, set the "Default Value" to 255 and ENABLE "Fixed".
