Hello,
I have a question, hope this make sense. I have Compu live 2048 FC+, and have some programming questions on LED matrix settings.
I have 48 IColor coves 12" all running in sequential DMX addresses from 1 to 144. Currently they are mounted on six vertical bars with 8 lights per a bar (8ft high). The lights start at DMX Address 1 at the bottom of the first bar, and ends with 24 at the top, then 25 starts on the next bar, and so on.

Picture bottom left corner: ICoves

When I open the color manager it only allows me to see the matrix situated in a 6h X 8w view, where as the first top left box to the top right box is 1 - 24. Is there a way to make it display a 8h X 6w view with light 1 starting at bottom left and 24 at top? I could not find any info on the use of the matrix settings.
Any info would b great.

Thanks

Hello, I am away from my desk right now but I'll check this out as soon as I can. Have you tried clicking on the "show fixture address or positions" check box? Let me know. Sincerely,

Hi Jingles,
Yes I have, it dose just that. It shows my light names and DMX number, but am unable to align LEDs to the "Matrix" in the way that I am setup. Any ideas?

Jason

you are gonna have to remember which fixtures are in what order then. There is no way to rearrange the color management layout from what I have seen. Sincerely,

So just a question, what dose influence the size of the "matrix", how does it figure Length, and Width for lights? I was hoping that I could somehow patch them for just the matrix setup, but I could not find anything, always set for 6 high, and 8 wide.

you cant adjust the size or shape i believe. but it will always display enough squares for as many fixtures as you have. Sincerely,
