Fixture settings

The Fixture settings window lets you select DMX modes (i.e. color 
control options), group segments into pixels, and set DMX addresses.

DMX mode

The Fixture settings window lets you select a DMX mode (RGB, RGBW, 
HSI or HSIC color control) for the fixtures or pixels in your installation. It is 
possible to set different pixels to different DMX modes by scrolling 
between pixels using the scroll arrows and changing the DMX mode 
setting for each pixel.

Individual and grouped control of segments

The Fixture settings window lets you control 300 mm Extubes or 
300 mm segments of 1200 mm Extubes individually, or put them into 
groups that behave identically and are controlled as one pixel.

For example, if you select 1 in the Segments/Pixel box, each 300 mm 
segment in the line of fixtures is controlled individually as one pixel that is 
300 mm long.

If you select 3 in the Segments/Pixel box, the 300 mm segments are put 
into groups of three segments. You then control each group of segments 
as one pixel that is 900 mm long.
