Catalyst vs wysiwyg

[Mr_P]

Hi Richard,
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?

Pro version of Catalyst only allows 10 DMX universe output - so you would have to upgrade to gain access to more DMX universes.

Using artnet would be the only way of getting the DMX information from Catalyst in to WYSIWYG - there is no 'driver' or utility (like Hog2PC or Hog IIIPC - for example)

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.

I strongly do not suggest using more than 4 universes in a visualizer program. In this example, you wouldn't need to.
