andylights Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 This caught my eye in an ebay shop...it doesn't look too bad in the demo video, suitable of 'disco' or low budget events? LED animation cloth Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyro_gearloose Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Looks like a good find. Not sure how robust it would be for touring, but might be worth looking at for permanent installation. Shame about his though (copied from item description) : Q: Can I send direct from my PC or Laptop in real time?A: NO! not at this stage of the development but we are working on a quick release of the SD card which will make it very easy in the near future.

richardtank Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 It seems that some of the LEDs are brighter than others, which may be good for a starry effect, but other than that, I can see it being a bit annoying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyro_gearloose Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Also, it uses 242 RGB LEDs. That means it will need at least 726 DMX channels to have complete control over each 'pixel' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick LX Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Isn't it a bit like this: http://www.ac-et.com/colorweb/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andylights Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 I don't think you have that degree of control. It says that you use the swf file creator to build your own image, load that onto a SD card, put that into the controller, which has 7 DMX channels of control. As for some LED's appearing brighter than others, who knows, certainly appears that way, perhaps it's a controllable effect. But this isn't something you would want to 'tour' ? Move from one wedding reception to another, possibly, if that's your market! Cheers, Andy It's a bit like Color Web in the sense that it's a soft LED screen, but Color Web is for pro applications and has a quality and price to match.

Sound In Gloucestershire Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 looks great apart from the LED's having a huge difference in brightness but it might be just the camera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
