Matrix

Basic Structure

Variant	Code
RGB matrix with five rows and five columns, automatically patched	<matrix dmxchannel="0" rows="5" columns="5"/> Matrix with five rows and five columns, where addressing is automatic from top left to bottom right, row by row: First pixel on DMX channels 1 to 3, arranged in the upper left corner.
RGB matrix with two rows and three columns, manually patched	<matrix rows="2" columns="3"> <rgb> <red dmxchannel="0" /> <green dmxchannel="1" /> <blue dmxchannel="2" /> </rgb> <rgb> <red dmxchannel="3" /> <green dmxchannel="4" /> <blue dmxchannel="5" /> </rgb> <!-- and so on --> </matrix> Matrix with two rows and three columns, where addressing is manual from top left to bottom right, row by row: RGB pixel top left: DMX channels 1 to 3. RGB pixel top middle: DMX channels 4 to 6. ... RGB pixel bottom right: DMX channels 16 to 18.

Attribute	rows	columns
Description	Number of rows of the matrix	Number of columns of the matrix
Permissible Attribute Value	1 to 256	1 to 256

If the matrix is defined as an RGBW matrix, the "White Auto Mix" function of the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) takes effect. However, in the Device Control, only entries for red, green, and blue continue to be generated.

Additional Attributes

The matrix can be further customized with additional attributes:

• matrix (main tag)
  • Color offset: Specifies the DMX channels for the RGB+-colors white, amber, etc.
  • monochrome: Matrix as a monochrome matrix
  • rowfirst: Changes the automatic patch order

Matrices with RGB+-Colors

Variant	Code
RGBW matrix with two rows and six columns, automatically patched	<matrix dmxchannel="0" rows="2" columns="6" whiteoffset="3" /> Matrix with two rows and six columns, where addressing is automatic from top left to bottom right, row by row: First pixel of the RGBW matrix on DMX channel 1, arranged in the upper left corner. Offset for control channel of the white LED at value 3, since LED color is in the fourth position in the control sequence (RGBW LED type).

Attribute	whiteoffset
Description	Offset of the white LED
Permissible Attribute Value	Greater than 3

For the permissible values of the attributes rows and columns, see the previous section simple matrix.

Monochrome Matrices

Variant	Code
Monochrome matrix with five rows and five columns, automatically patched	<matrix dmxchannel="0" monochrome="true" rows="5" columns="5"/> Matrix with five rows and five columns, where addressing is automatic from top left to bottom right, row by row: First pixel on DMX channel 1, arranged in the upper left corner. Attribute monochrome with the value true generates a matrix with only one color.
Monochrome matrix with one row and four columns, manually patched	<matrix rows=" 1" columns="4" monochrome="true" > <dimmer dmxchannel="0" /> <dimmer dmxchannel="1" /> <dimmer dmxchannel="2" /> <dimmer dmxchannel="3" /> </matrix> Matrix with one row and four columns, where addressing is manual from left to right: Attribute monochrome with the value true generates a matrix with only one color. 1st pixel (left): DMX channel 1. 2nd pixel: DMX channel 2. 3rd pixel: DMX channel 3. 4th pixel (right): DMX channel 4.

Attribute	monochrome
Description	Generating a monochrome matrix
Permissible Attribute Value	true

For the permissible values of the attributes rows and columns, see the previous section simple matrix.
