 | | During the development of Colour-Tramp, which currently controls up to 20 DMX universes (10,240 channels), Artistic Licence realized that actually getting the channel allocations correct for such a complex system was a significant problem. |
 | | To this end they have developed the Visual-Patch system which uses a video camera, in conjunction with RDM (Remoted Device Management, the bi-directional addition to the DMX512A protocol), to switch on each device in turn, and map its address into the video image. |
 | | Such systems will have to remain low resolution for quite a while, as to achieve even a standard definition (640 x 480) display with its nearly 1 million sub pixels (307,200 each of red, green and blue), would require a processor pumping out 1,800 universes of DMX512. |
