Custom Fixture for Pixelmad

[rolfwenzel]

Hey Richard,

last weeks I used the weird Videosticks from Focon which uses 1 and a more than a half Universes for one stick.

I made two Custom Fixtures for that to have universe 1 and universe 2 for this stick, but they also have on universe 1 two control channels, on DMX 1 and 2, which tell them which Mode they have to run in (first channel, fixed value) and Master Intensity (second channel).

I wasn't able to impliment these two channels into the first fixture, I ended up creating a third one for only the control channels.

So first I had the "Channel indexes" on the first two channels (before the pixel indexes started) and it gave out the proper control channel values but no pixel values on this fixture.

Moving them to the end resulted in Catalyst crashing at startup.

I'm not way familiar with XML, but it's not that hard to understand. I didn't found a solution to implement these channels to the normal fixtures, but as I know that it works in similar manner with pixellines (+mint) it must work somehow.

Would be happy about a hint for that.

Thanks and best

Rolf
