RGBW Pixel COB LED tape

There is no built in fixture for this.

You have the choice between two approaches:

• Use the pixels as regular channels and use a group if you need quick access to e.g. turn them all on or off
• Create a multicell fixture profile for your purpose with the right amount of pixels. For the pixels you can use the Generic RGBW profile in the library.

Both methods have pros and cons, depending on how you want to use the pixels, display space, marking, etc.

Hi, 

Thank you for the solutions. I have some following questions to them. 

-For the first option. Do you mean I patch them into separate channels and each channels are RGBW LED fixture? 

-For the second option. I have looked into creating a new MC fixture. When I edit it, should I keep the Master channel as the virtual intensity channel and have each cells in 5 channels(RGBW)? 

I just want to check if I understand it correctly and I'm on the correct direction. Thank you!

- yes, that would be one way of tackling this.

- the master with a virtual intensity and each cell as RGBW (probably 4 addresses, rather than 5, pixels in pixel tape mostly doesn't have an address for theis intensity in my experience). The RGBW cells do automatically get a virtual intensity, but that's still just 4 addresses.

That's good to know. 

Another question just come up in my mind. If each tape line is in different length, does that mean I will have to make customised fixtures for each of them with different cell numbers?

i once saw an approce where only one multicell fixture was used and only the active pixels where patched.
So you end up with some of your fixture have a lot of unpatched pixels.

I would rather go with a pixelcount that is on point with each pixel.

but you can also have 3 different fixtures (of length) and make a mixup.

possible:
short lenght (10 pixel): from 2 to 10 pixel
mid lenght (20 pixel): from 11 to 20 Pixel
long lenght (30 pixel): from 21 to 30 Pixel

You can also think of an other way to cluster your tape.
Maybe it is wraped around something and you can say "this is Prop No1".
