I'm trying to work out the best way to fan delay times across a system of Nemos focused in a grid across a giant projection surface.
Lights are focused as follows:
X X X X (4 units)
X X X X X X X (7 units)
X X X X X X X (7 units)
X X X X (4 units)
I have individual control of each fixture (X).
I'd like to be able to do color wipes top to bottom/left to right (etc...), but I want each row (or column) to delay at the same time.
i.e. if I do
channel [1 thru 22] [color] [delay] [0 thru 4], the delay time will fan evenly between all channels, and the color wipe will "snake" down the wall per selection order
but i want:
channel 1-4, delay 0
channel 5-11, delay 1
etc...
*but exact time will vary per cue
obviously i can enter this manually one row at a time, but this is a pretty time consuming action to repeat over a couple hundred cues (all of which will end up with different speeds for the color wipes/intensity wipes/gobo wipes, etc...)...
I'm thinking a macro with a bunch of "wait for input" breaks, but then i have to figure out the math all by myself
Any suggestions on an efficient way to do this (hopefully without having do do the math manually each time)
Thank you!
