Need advise Mega tree setting

[poporacer]

Hello again, I need some clarification when they say the max # of is 1024 on one port of the F16v3 is that 1024 channels or 1024 pixles,

It is 1024 pixels
 

I Have xlights set to 96 universes, it shows universe 1 ( channels 1-512) universe 2 (channels 513 -1024)
The question is its showing 1024 absolute channels in universe 2

It isn't showing 1024 Absolute Channels in Universe 2. What you are seeing is the Absolute Channel that equals the Universe/Channel number.  In Absolute Addressing, the numbers just keep going up, so what you are seeing in the parenthesis (channels 513-1024) is there for people that want to know what Absolute Channel the Universe/Channel is referring to. So Universe 1 Channel 512 ends on Absolute Channel 512, but Universe 2 starts at Universe 2 Channel 1 (the numbers start over) and goes to Channel 512, but the Absolute Channel does not start over So Universe 2 Channel 1 equals Absolute Channel 513. You can set up the Universe to have as many channels as you want up to a max of 512, it is your choice.  96 universes is a lot. You might want to make it a more realistic number. Are you planning on running 50,000 pixels this year? .

The way i think it works (on the F16v3) is I can have up to (1024 pixels) (3072 Channels) and (6 universes) on one port. Can someone advise if this is correct

For the Controller ports, you can have up to 1024 pixels, don't worry about Channels or Universes here. But you probably don't want to max out the ports either if you don't have to

Numbers.. Im a number guy because there are no exceptions to the rules  1+1 is 2 it will never change. 
Not like the English language   to, too, two

so 96 universes is 49,152 channels and that's only 16,627 pixels  all based each universe is 512.


Just having fun

Yes, I was concentrating on the other issues and my math was a little off, I forgot the channel count...oops... but if you are a numbers guy, I am curious what kind of math you are doing? 1+1=2 will never change so how does 49,152/3 = 16,627?  LOL Gothca, My turn to have fun!

Typo I cant type just like you LOL you didn't copy my number right   should be 16.384 pixels....

hmmm an F16 can only control 16 pixels?.... Maybe you meant 16,384? We will eventually give this guy the info he needs....LOL

Thank all you all very much for the info as its starting to stick alittle, I threw a little calculator together so i could play with the numbers, so I could see the pixels, channels, amps and watts in groups I am sure there are others out there but I just wanted to share just in case someone else is having a bad number night like I have been.
Its not much, it can be edited if someone wants. But again thank you all for the help the last couple of days.

This is how I do my layout models lights channels amps watts and controller locations
