Ok as long as I read and test what you need is not supported yet by Catalyst architecture:
//trying to do pixeline with extra channels on the end.
// doesnt work with architecture
// <extrachannels index="1" fixedoutput="7" />

So long the solution I propouse to you is:
patch a custom fixture named EGFix place it anywhere you want on your grid that does not matter,
patch 4 RGB pixels in the order of your floor (my reason to patch pixel by pixel is the strage arrangement of your fixture matrix:
3,4
2,1
as long as I tried Cat only arrange pixels:
4,3
2,1
Maybe there is a way for make it your fixture way but I did not find it),
patch another EGFix
patch 4 RGB pixels in the order of your floor,
and so on...

I know this is a dirty way to make the workaround but due to architecture at the moment I think if a good solution.

Here is your EGFix to add to your XML file so you can patch EGFix:


<Fixture menuname="EGFix" uniqueid="EG01" excelexportid="EG01" pixelwidth="1" pixelheight="1" output="CUSTOM" comment="Made By Wodie" channelcount="1" channelsperpixel="3" orientation="BOTTOMRIGHT">
<channel index="1" fixedoutput="7"/>
</Fixture>

That is all I think if you have further questions or any one have any comment please let me know I really preciate feedback.

Have a good show and let me know if it worked.

Wodie:

Thanks for your support, I am going to make tests with your example, i hope that work well.


Also Emiliano.....thanks for yours commentaries..SALUTO....

This contributes valuable things for the best operation of Catalyst.

thanks... again.

look at the SGM Palco in the examples . They are ( i think ) 8 channels but you see one DOT only in the screen . I'm sure there is a way to " blind" the channel . Look at SGM PALCO

Emiliano:
where i look example of palco SGM?


thanks...

Hello Edgar !

the FixtureTypes.xml file it's inside the Catalyst Package .

To access inside it you need to right click on the Catalyst icon directly from the applications folder ( NOT FROM THE DOCK )

Once right clicked a menu will appear .

SELECT " Show content package " ( actually my OS is in italian but it should be similar to Show content package )

A new finder window will pop up .

Open the folder named " Contents "

Now open the folder named " Resources "

Scroll down until you find the file named " FixtureTypes.xml "

Hang on now .

Open Text edit , and once it's open in the dock .

Drag the FixtureTypes.xml on top of the text edit icon.

Now the FixtureTypes.xml should be open in the text edit app

and .... SGM Palco isn't there ....

I tough it was in there ! Never mind look at all the others examples you will find in the FixtureTypes.xml .

regards

Hi Edgar,

it is a little more complicated with your fixture - because it has 1 master intensity for 4 pixels.

I suggest you use a 2x2 RGB fixture and patch it always on the second DMX address of the fixture and use a 1 pixel intensity fixture that you always patch on the first address of the fixture.

So you have 2 fixtures in pixelmad for one (4 pixel) fixture in real world.

If you like to go a step ahead you might want to write your own fixture for the intensity channel - setting it to a fixed value <fixed output="255"> or linking it to the master intensity <output="MASTER_INT">
