DMX Values
« on: October 31, 2015, 08:05:28 PM »
Hi -

In x4
Would like to be able to assign a DMX value from 0-255...

Using a DMX dongle to control Media playback, and media server is just quite fussy about the values.

o-100% does not add up to talking with the media. It wants to be 0-255 control on each channel.

For example

0- off
1- media play back 1
2- media play back 2
3 - media play back 3

221 -Media play back 221
through value 255

Any suggestions?

I am struggling to program around it.
Each value is so specific.

Use the key bindings to set up the levels you want as a % off 255
Then set up a simple model with the amount of channels you need and assign them a single colour
(Eg red)
Then use the key binding to apply the appropriate dimming level to those channels

Bit of a work around but you only need to set it up once
