RDM control by channels

Hello,

Just to confirm here, after making changes in RDM you patched the fixtures but in live if you bring up channels you don't have any control over them?
Or you have control with that 1 channel but it's not the control you are looking for?

Thank you,

Sorry for the confusion. I do not have any control over them in live. They are supposed to be 4 channel rgb lights but the one channel I patch them to does nothing. Do I patch them to multiple channels? Would a update to the fixture library help?

Hello,

I think perhaps these want to be patched as Generic LED RGBI 8b for control, since they appear to have Red, Green, and Blue and then Intensity.

Can we try patching them with this type?

Thank you,

Okay thank you,

However, when looking at the light's page it says that they are quad chip lights meaning that they can be controlled like 4 light chasers. How would this work into the RDM?

I was able to control the colors of the light through directly addressing them in a normal patch; however, I was unable to control the chase part of the lights. Thanks for your help.

"Quad Chip" in this case means 4 colors in a single chip. There isn't a chase function as far as I can tell. In fact I haven't seen a classic chase function in LED tape at all.

These days "pixel" tape is fairly common. ( http://www.citytheatrical.com/products/-qolorpix-led-tape ) It does all that and far more. Pixel tape lets you control each LED individually. This way you could have a chase of any number on and any number off. To be honest, a single LED on a ribbon is barely noticeable over 10' away. You may also need some sort of intermediate controller. To patch all 48LEDs per meter on the above product would max out the addresses on an Element in just a few meters of tape. Fortunately the drivers (not dimmers) for this stuff is built to make it more practical. If you really need some sort of chase function then I suggest you call the good folks at City Theatrical for help. They don't all know the Element in particular but very much understand DMX and address/channel limits.
