I'm quite sure that not..but..there are now some possibilities to link Cata with wyg to show big led screen? how i can bypass Artnet to use a lot of universes DMX (if it is possible?)
Thanks dears.

Hi Richard,
so i'm working in a project using web led froma chroma-q..it is just a proposal..
i'd like to set up 500 square meters..something like 62 universes dmx! first i can't link my artnet device from Cat to wysiwyg (90.20.20.10 ip on artnet)...in this moment isn't the problem..but what i mean it's that probably i don't have to use artnet (because it seems that can work just with 10 universes). In pixel mad there are much more..but how i can to link catalyst on wyg without artnet? Anyway about web led, yesterday guy from chroma-q support says to me that their device are made with an artnet input as much as it needs..so probably if i link"real" web led the problem dosen't exist!..please apologize my english and my not good experience in big led surface (is my first time) thank you. luca
Hey Luca,
That's a huge number of LEDs. Wouldn't it be better to use an LED processors to map a video signal instead? The only reason to map that many channels of LED is if you have a very custom arrangement and variety of fixtures?
I prefer Visions but I have used video in WYG. The thing is, if you're using a grid of LED you might do better to simply create a 3D object with a pixelized mask on it which you patch your video input to. This way you could create the same concept for pre-cuing without overloading WYG. In this case, all you would need is to capture the video into WYG.
dmx fixtures are generally much bigger and therefore give a bigger stage picture - like the colour web stuffQuote:

30x16m
62 universes is only 10000 pixels. not very much at all. 100x100 resolution
in dmx it sounds a lot - in video its 100x100 - nothing...

in wyg if you can input video you would need something to map video input to pixels. i dont know wyg well enough
Pro version of Catalyst only allows 10 DMX universe output - so you would have to upgrade to gain access to more DMX universes.Quote:

However, if it's just for simulation in WYG - then try playing a video file (or use video input in to wyg) and 'overlay' the video on to an array of 'video' pixels in WYG - rather than using artnet to control 'DMX' pixels in WYG.
Let me know if you need further assistance

This is what I was trying to explain. It is easy to create a map that only allows points to come through from a video file. If you create this map in the shape of the Web LED you want to use you can place that in WYG and map the video capture to it.Quote:

Indeed - WYG slows down when you give it a lot of DMX....
