Segemented Collage Media

This is more of a future need question.

But what is the Pixel overlap when in Segemented collage mode?
It's great that i can upload just portions of the file, and i believe will have the opportunity to use this on a show in the near future. But when i'm creating/ or altering content i would need to know the total amount of pixels i'm going to create for, and i know it's not as easy as 1024x# of fixtures :D


Also when in this mode are you able to play back non-segmented media? or is that a programming change you'd need to make when playing back one cohesive file?

    The pixel over lap is about 9% per blended edge, so approximately 92 pixels horizontally or 69 pixels vertically. If you're doing a 3x1 collage (3 wide, 1 tall), the outter two fixtures would each be "losing" 9% of their pixels, and the center would be "losing" 18% to the collage blending.

    As far as segmented and non-segmented, there are options for doing both types of collage in the graphics engine. On the programming side of things they are identical to set up, you only need to select the correct collage type. However, segemented vs non-segmented collages use very different content. The content for a segmented collage must be sliced/scaled prior to being loaded on to the server as the segmented collage mode does not do this. The advantage to this is that you can created much higher resolution collages.

    Let me know if you have any more questions.
