is there in the next update a pixel mapping or what are the plans? it will be useful even if you have only 20 sunstrips or led fixtures the video you do with a media server but for those little things very handy:)
I think it is a much needed feature as well. As far as I understand it, the new H4 desks have so much overhead in their processor that the desks could easily handle this.
There are some distinct advantages to pixel-mapping directly off the desk. For instance if I want to play back media across an array of fixtures and then suddenly have all or even just some of them go to a solid color....it requires additional layers on the media server, potentially with custom masks, transparencies and/or alpha channels. With direct control off the desk I could have all the fixtures "playing back" a video clip and then use the outside fixtures in a solid color to frame it for example all very quickly and easily without having to resort to tricks off a media server or a DMX merge between a server and a desk. It makes it much cleaner and quicker to just do it all off the desk.
I know it is a feature that has been discussed and is planned, just no idea when they will actually be able to implement it.
