Pixel Mapping

One big downside I see of buying an Axon is the lack of pixel mapping software within the server...

I see other servers or products on the market such as Hippo critter with this feature and think it is a real shame. I do want an Axon, but I would really like to control things like Colour Web with Axon without the need for external software such as Radlites Pixel Drive. (Can anybody suggest any others by the way..?)

Is it me or does everybody else want Pixel Mapping too? I see this as a major need considering the amount of LED walls and products hitting the industry and the ones which have already proven themselves as workhorses.

Not quite a rant, more of a hint ;)

    Joe, I just want to clarify a few things. Marty did briefly touch on this but be aware that you cannot send video out from Axon via S-Video or SDI. These are for capture only. Only one DVI port on the video card outputs your graphics stream.

    In regards to the Hippo/DML situation; there is a version of Hippo that acts as the DML media server but it is highly limited when comparing to the full versions of Hippo and there is no pixel mapping ability. The DML can be purchased with or without a media server and thus many users get the version without the media server and use Axon instead.
