Thoughts on Tune To sign
« on: November 16, 2017, 04:59:28 PM »
Hey everyone, working on my Tune To Sign.  I know what my layout will be. I plan on using 1 p10 panel for the sign this year.

Being that the sign has many layers, is it easiest to create an effect by selecting all the layers, to use over again.  This will be used in all my Christmas sequences.

Anyone have a better suggestion. Will be running the show from FPP. The P10's are run from BBG's in remote mode.

Also, my P10 is 128x96. If I get something working, it will display my singing faces. However, I need the best resolution to show.  What are ytour recommendations for video size/type for a 128x96 panel? Is Mp4 the best or would MOV or AVI be better for the video playback.

Thanks for any input.

Best,
David

Your P10 panel is a 4x6 layout (128pixels x 96pixels).
That is a 4x3 aspect ratio, so videos having a 400x300 or 800x600 size would fit and scale "edge to edge"

I've had the best luck using MP4 coded videos.
