DMX pixel mapping personalities assign individual DMX control to each orb in the MotionOrb. A
MotionOrb in DMX pixel mapping personality and a DMX controller with pixel mapping capability
are the tools for creating complex and eye catching light shows. Chauvet's ShowXpress PC-
based controller has pixel mapping.
The pixel mapping personality to select depends on the length of the MotionOrb and the
personality works with the length setting. For example, if there are 4 orb strings on the
MotionOrb the length setting must be 4M for the DMX_315CH personality to work properly.
To put the MotionOrb into a pixel mapping personality simply select one of the following DMX
personalities.
For a 2 m MotionOrb with 11 orbs per string
DMX_165CH
(1 standard orb string and 1 bottom orb string; no extensions)
For a 3 m MotionOrb with 16 orbs per string
DMX_240CH
(1 standard orb string plus 1 orb string extension, and 1 bottom orb string)
For a 4 m MotionOrb with 21 orbs per string
DMX_315CH (1 standard orb string plus 2 orb string extensions, and
1 bottom orb string)
For information about setting the DMX personality, see
The Length setting must be set properly for pixel mapping to work. For instructions
about setting the length see
