EmulationPro contains a 2-dimensional matrix controller for pixel mapping on arrays of lighting *xtures.
These lighting *xtures are typically LED *xtures, however, the matrix control can also be applied to any
other DMX *xture.

AYOUT
To control a matrix you *rst patch the *xtures as usual in the Patch menu. The next step is to add the
only the *xtures that are part of the matrix to the members list in the Matrix->Layout menu. In this tab
you can also set the width and height of the matrix.
Next you should arrange them to reOect the physical location of the *xtures. In the Layout tab you can
select a matrix-member and them move it around using the arrow-keys. Alternatively, you could use
ARRANGE ALL button to
have all the members
automatically positioned
according some typical
patterns.
Tos assist you in
establishing the layout you
can enable the INDICATE
check-box, this will make
the lighting *xture to
display the same colour as
used in the layout diagram. This will speed up the process because it helps you with recognizing which
*xture is selected and how it is orientated.

AYER
Once the layout is created you should add at least one layer in the Layer tab. Typically this layer has the
same dimensions as the matrix; this is quickly achieved by pressing the FULL SIZE button.
Each layer can playback a
graphical eKect. When you
add more layers then this
will allow you overlay
multiple eKects and cross-
fade or blend layers into
each other.
By reducing the size of the
layer you can create
picture-in-picture eKects.
Also, when two separate
matrices are patches next to each other in the layout then both could be covered by a separate layer;
thus allowing independent control of multiple matrices within EmulationPro.
