Catalyst vs wysiwyg

[SourceChild]

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 stuff

500sqm is a much bigger backdrop than is affordable with LED video walls.
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
