Try This:
<Fixture menuname="Sunstrip PRO 36" uniqueid="SUN36" excelexportid="SUN36" pixelwidth="36" pixelheight="1" output="RGB" comment="Sunstrip PRO RGB 36LED" channelcount="108" orientation="TOPLEFT">
</Fixture>
<Fixture menuname="Sunstrip Control" uniqueid="SUNC" excelexportid="SUNC" pixelwidth="1" pixelheight="1" output="CUSTOM" comment="Sunstrip PRO RGB Control" channelcount="3" orientation="TOPLEFT">
<channel index="1" fixedoutput="128" comment="Tilt - set to ZERO if HTP merge with Lx Desk"/>
<channel index="2" fixedoutput="255" comment="Strobe - set to ZERO if HTP merge with Lx Desk"/>
<channel index="3" fixedoutput="255" comment="Dimmer - set to ZERO if HTP merge with Lx Desk"/>
</Fixture>
INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Right click on your catalyst aplication and 'Show Package Contents'
2) navigate to: Content / Resources / FixtureTypes.xml
3) Open the FixtureTypes.xml in text edit
4) Paste the code above in to the bottom of the file after the last fixture, but before </FixtureTypes>
5) save FixtureTypes.xml
6) close the finder window
7) start catalyst
The new fixture: Sunstrip PRO 36 and Sunstrip Control should appear in the fixtures list.
According to the manual - Strobe should be at 100% (255) to get an output
Dimmer is also set to 100% (255)
I've defaulted the TILT to 50% (128) as there is no control channel for this...
You will have to patch the control first, then 36 pixels and so on...
DMX PATCH: (see picture)
001 Sunstrip Control
004 Sunstrip PRO 36
112 Sunstrip Control
115 Sunstrip PRO 36
223 Sunstrip Control
226 Sunstrip PRO 36
etc...
However, if you want to merge the patch with an lx desk to obtain control of the intensity / strobe / tilt - then don't patch the control channel in catalyst.
You would have to perform an HTP of the two controllers with the opposite patch on an lx desk - ie all control channels 001, 112, 223 etc leaving the 36 pixels at zero (un-patched) on the lx desk.
Do Let me know if this works or if you need any further assistance
regards
Simon
