Factory Profiles
The Pixelator has a set of factory profiles, to start you off.
You're likely to see 2 or more of the following:
•
Artnet24->Pixel24: This profile will take 24 Art-Net
universes and convert them to 24 Pixel-Link signal on
ports 1 to 24.
•
Artnet48->Pixel24: This profile will take 48 Art-Net
universes and convert them to 24 Pixel-Link signal on
ports 1 to 24. (Each Port will be mapped to 2 Art-Net
Universes consecutively)
These profiles are just an example of what can be done
with the Pixelator, you can modify the factory profiles to
accommodate your specific need, or create your own
profile from scratch.
