Click on Port D1-D4 to select or change the output protocol. Click on the '+' symbol to add a
universe to each port. Click on a universe item to change following settings.
Channels: Define the number of output channels.
Universe: Assign a universe number as input.
Further configuration options will be shown when you collapse the 'Show advanced settings' option.
Advanced IO config
Start-channel
This option allows you to enter an offset value of the starting channel that this universe listens to.
By entering a start channel (0-511), all channel data before this channel offset will be skipped.
Example
Goal: You want to use channels 100 up to channel 200 as output channel 0-100.
Configuration settings will be as follows:
Start channel is set to 100.
‣
Channels is set to 200.
‣
Explained: First, the start channel will shift 100 channels of the input. This will skip the first 100
channels of the universe. Then set the channels to 200, because 200 channels are required, starting
after the first 100 skipped channels.
Create segments
This option combines multiple channels or LEDs in order to become one pixel/segment. It's
recommended to use this option when the amount of control channels needs to be reduced, if you
want to create larger pixel segments are required or if multiple channels of a IC control the same
channel (e.g. Sometimes a 3 or 4 channel IC is used to control only white LED's within one package
or module).
Segment type
Select a segment type from the dropdown menu.
No segments - Disables segments (Default)
‣
‣ Create segments - Allows to create your own segmentation
‣ RGB(W) LED segments - Link multiple LEDs together (e.g.: channel 1&4&7, 2&5&8, ...)
‣ Single color segments - Groups channels together (e.g.: channel 1-3, 4-6, ...)
Examples
Repeating 3 RGB pixels: Output channels 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9 will correspond to input channels 1,2
and 3.
