PixelArt fixture positioning
You can place each PixelArt fixture
anywhere within the video space
defined by the crop area.
Each PixelArt fixture’s position
within the video space is totally
independent of its location in the
control cable daisy chain, although
it is common for the two to coin-
cide.
Three values are required to posi-
tion a PixelArt fixture within the
video space:
• a horizontal
x
coordinate
(measured in pixels)
• a vertical
y
coordinate
(measured in pixels),
and
• an orientation
(measured in degrees)
The origin point of the video space
is always in the top left hand corner
(of the crop area) and similarly, the
origin point for each PixelArt fixture
is also always in the top left hand
corner, regardless of their respec-
tive rotation settings.

Positioning PixelArt fixtures
There are two mains ways to determine the PixelArt fixture positions:
• Use the Fixture Mapping tab
within the PixelArt Setup Utility
or
• Use a spreadsheet (e.g. Microsoft
®
Excel
®
)
to create a (.csv) file that can be loaded
into the PixelArt Setup Utility
