LED Bars in Pixel Map

Hi, again.

I would like to configure 5 LED Bars Philips SL Bar 660  in the Pixel Mapper. I set the fixtures to 8bit 18 mode. But I find no working way to patch them in the Layout. My guess is that it has to do with the width and height settings, but I'm not sure.
Any ideas?

regards Tommi

    You need to patch a server channel, and layer channels. Then set your width and height.  Once you have this established, you have to highlight the grid in  order to assign your start channel or address. You can patch by channel or address and set the start of left to right, top to bottom, columns and rows.

    Hi, thanks for answering!
    Yes, I know all that, and I also has it working fine with different fixtures. It just doesn't work to assign these fixtures after selecting the grid. So I assume that my width and height settings are the problem. The LED Bars have 2 x 18 LED configuration, so with 5 Bars vertical placed I started with a 10x18 grid, without success. Also 5x1 (pure fixture count) doesn't work.

    eos doesn't understand, that they are multiple "sub-units" within this fixture. it doesn't matter if you're in group18 mode. you will have to trick a bit. i would suggest:
    -leave it patched as it is.
    -in pixel mapping, for each pixel use a Generic > LED RGBW 16b personality and patch it by address (not channel).
    -in Live, set the intensity of the patched channel to Full, it's the master intensity for the rest of the fixture.
    -and last but not least you will have to make sure that all color values of the patched channel are at 0 when you want to use pixel mapping (as Live and pixel mapping are merged together HTP). with do that by running a cue or by changing the home values (either in patch or with the home preset).
