Pixi-Stream
20,000 channel media server
OverviewPixi-Stream™ is a media server with a difference. It outputs Art-Net ethernet directly rather than video. This saves an additional conversion process when driving high density LED arrays such as the Artistic Licence Pixi-Web.
Pixi-Stream is configured via a sophisticated graphical user interface. The front panel provides ports for connection of monitor, mouse and keyboard for the configuration phase. Configuration is very fast via 'wizard' style interfaces. Libraries for well known composite LED products are included. RDM (Remote Device Programming) is supported which offers extremely fast patching. An example being approximately three minutes to patch a 1600 pixel wall of Hi-Res Pixi-Web.
Once configuration is complete, all features are controlled from an external lighting board. Connection is via Art-Net ethernet as standard, DMX512 control can be implemented with an additional device. Pixi-Stream is controlled is the same manner as a sophisticated moving lamp. A total of 8 layers are supported, outputting to 20,000 channels of control.
The content of each layer, the digital effects and the layer to layer mixing are all controlled in real time from the lighting board. Each layer can process live video, graphics or animation files. Digital effects can be applied to each layers independently. There is a large library of effects that include Pan, Tilt, Magnify, Stretch, Rotate in any 3D plane, Colour replacement and Cyclic Hue Adjustment.Output:
Pixi-Stream outputs using the Art-Net Ethernet standard. Any Art-Net compatible products such as Cata-Lynx O/P, Data-Lynx O/P or Net-Lynx O/P can be used to convert to DMX512.
Playback:
All control is live. Each attribute of each layer controller is assigned a DMX channel. The control source can be direct Art-Net or a Net-Lynx I/P can be used to convert from DMX512.
The interaction between sub-masters is user programmable. Simple merging of sub-masters is the default, but options include subtractive, additive and matte based schemes.
Versions:
Pixi-Stream available in a number of versions.
Off-Line: The Off-Line version can be used for programming the layout and experimenting with visuals. It contains all the features of the full version but does not output Art-Net. This version is available from the Artistic Licence CD or web site. It is free of charge.
On-Line: The full version of the product is protected by an USB device. Owners of Colour-Tramp can use the Colour-tramp key to unlock the software.
