This viewer used in Pixout ArtNet Recorder project, for our internal testing and we think this project could be interesting for others too. It could be usefull when you need to see how your lighting effects looks without LED screen ( on regular PC ) or preview lighting show on dedicated PC at the show time.
This viewer emulate lighting device and displays ArtNet flow without universe limitation for specified Fixture on the PC screen. At the moment viewer supports only Pixout pixel mapping + fixtures (.pxm)
This project could be build on Linux and Windows but we doesn't try to build it on Apple
Also you can prioritize here or here issues for help us.
Clone repository in you home or any other location and build it, see example following:
mkdir pixview/master
cd pixview/master
git clone [email protected]:pixout/PixView.git .
mkdir -p pixview/build
cd pixview/build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../master
Start PixView with demo fixture ( 102 x 102 RGB pixels ) 60 ArtNet universes
pixview 6454 pxm/demo.pxm horizontal
Without arguments PixView shows main screen with default parameters.
Viewer listens ArtNet unicast/broadcast packets on specified UDP port. Without ArtNet flow viewer will display black screen, you need to provide ArtNet flow to see something
