Title: Configuration in new version
Post by: poporacer on February 22, 2020, 04:52:52 PM

What would the correct way be to configure the Controller section in the following scenario?
I have a Raspberry Pi that will be connected to an F48 Controller. I will also be outputting video via the HDMI port.
Would you just create one block of Universes or DDP for the FPP instance and the F48 combined? If so, will this upload the E1.31/DDP info to the F48 when it isn't really needed? It isn't a big deal to delete the extra Universes.
Also, technically the IP address for the device outputting the Virtual Matrix data would be the FPP device and not the F48, so should it be set up as different controllers?

Edited- The Matrix would require 109 Universes which I think is beyond the capability of the F48 so would the upload to the F48 fail?

How would you have done it in the past ..: because essentially you should do it the same way.

I haven't actually tried it before. After thinking about it, I think you could create a DDP network for the FPP and then an E1.31 Network for the F48.
Thanks for responding and all the work you do!
