Pixel Mapping
Personalities
DMX pixel mapping personalities assign individual DMX control to each orb in the MotionOrb™.
A MotionOrb™ in DMX pixel mapping personality and a DMX controller with pixel mapping
capability are the tools for creating complex and eye catching light shows. CHAUVET®’s
ShowXpress PC-based controller has pixel mapping.
The pixel mapping personality to select depends on the length of the MotionOrb™ and the
personality works with the length setting. For example, if there are 4 orb strings on the
MotionOrb™ the length setting must be 4M for the DMX_315CH personality to work properly.
To put the MotionOrb™ into a pixel mapping personality simply select one of the following DMX
personalities.
DMX_165CH
For a 2 m MotionOrb™ with 11 orbs per string
(1 standard orb string and 1 bottom-orb string)
DMX_240CH
For a 3 m MotionOrb™ with 16 orbs per string
(2 standard orb strings and 1 bottom-orb string)
DMX_315CH
For a 4 m MotionOrb™ with 21 orbs per string
(3 standard orb strings and 1 bottom-orb string)
For information about setting the DMX personality, see DMX Personalities above.
The Length setting must be set properly for pixel mapping to work. For instructions
about setting the length see
