andyc Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Just been looking at this http://www.mikontalolights.fi/en/ and got me thinking, is there any software where you can map very low res images to DMX channels, or evenoutput the values to recreate the images as show in the video. I've done a quick search but haven't being able to find any form of software/ hardware interfaces. eg: [video. jpg, gif atc..) pixel-1 -----Intensity; color; (RGB?) = Clever software hardware interface =(DMX) Ch1@100; Ch2@64; Ch3@78; Ch4@41 and so on and so on....You get the idea. I have no need for this but just thought id see if anyone knew of anything available for future reference ;-) Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvi675 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Hi Andy, You can do this using our MagicQ software (free and fully functioning download on our website!) using the inbuilt pixel mapping. At present we support the mapping of jpg and bmp images onto an LED wall/grid/whatever shape you create and in the next couple of months we are planning on implementing video support. Any more questions, please feel free to ask! Regards, Matt LemonChamSys Ltd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 You might also want to look at Light Factory, distributed in Europe by Zero 88, which supports Image & Video > DMX (not just RGB, also intensity of dimmers or CMY fixtures) with motion paths. The video can be from a stored file (flash, AVI, etc) or a live video capture card / webcam. It's pretty funky, and it really does work There is a demo version on the Zero 88 website.

tvi675 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I should also mention that you can use the pixel mapping in MagicQ to map onto any fixtures - dimmers, CMY heads, etc etc, similar to Light Factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
son of lx dad Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 In the interest of balance I do not work for MA Lighting but the GrandMA console/software also does this. As does the PixelMad software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvi675 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 You can also do it using ArKaos and the LED mapper extension, however this is quite a pricy solution, and probably not worth it seeing as you are only talking about low res. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
