Matrix engine

[Kresten Bager]

Dear all,

 

First off thanks for yet another good PLASA event. And special thanks to Franck for the Frog2 demo in Copenhagen. Now on to my suggestion:

 

How about a matrix engine in the console. Say I want to set up a matrix of parcans it would be great for the console to be able to automatically generate text and patterns.

 

As I see it there are two possible solutions:

 

1. do a fixture where the user enters width and height in fixture units and the console can auto generate text and patterns which can easily be picked out durin programming or live (I'm thinking palets...).

 

2. do a seperate engine/palet for matrix control. This would enable the user to build a matrix of moving heads. A series of patterns, movement and so fourth could be generated on an attribute level.

 

I hope this makes sence and you can use the idéa.

 

Best regards
