Cell colour

Each mapped pixel is colour-coded by its assigned Art-Net universe. Unmapped pixels are dark grey.

Automatic hue per universe

Channel numbers

At the highest zoom level, each cell displays its DMX start channel number for the currently selected universe.

1–512 (visible at full zoom only)

Rulers

Column numbers along the top and row numbers along the left edge. Show the first and last visible index.

1-based

Grid lines

Visible when cells are large enough (6 px or more on screen). Hidden automatically at small zoom levels.

Automatic

Mouse wheel

Zoom in and out, anchored at the cursor position. At maximum zoom, wheel scrolling pans the grid toward the cursor.

Scroll up = zoom in, scroll down = zoom out

Middle-mouse drag

Pan the grid. Drag direction moves the view in that direction.

Free drag

Fit button (nav overlay)

Top button of the three-button overlay in the top-right area (below the minimap). Zooms out to fit the entire grid in the window.

Click

Zoom button (nav overlay)

Middle button of the nav overlay. Click and drag vertically to zoom (drag up = zoom in, drag down = zoom out). Zooms about the view centre.

Drag

Pan button (nav overlay)

Bottom button of the nav overlay. Click and drag to pan the view.

Drag

Minimap

A small overview in the top-right corner shows the entire grid. A white rectangle marks the currently visible portion. Click or drag the minimap to reposition the view. Mouse wheel over the minimap zooms about the view centre.

Click or drag

Left-click

Select a single pixel. If the pixel is mapped, its universe becomes the selected universe automatically.

Universe auto-select syncs with the Inspector's Selected Universe dropdown

Left-click + drag

Select a horizontal or vertical line of pixels. The selection locks to whichever axis you drag further along.

Selection is always a single row or column, never a rectangle

Hover tooltip

Shows the pixel's grid coordinates. For mapped pixels, also shows the universe number and DMX channel.

Format: X:N Y:N / Universe N Ch N. During drag, shows pixel count.

Inspector sync

When the selection covers a single mapping entry, the corresponding entry in the Inspector's Pixel Mappings list is highlighted and scrolled into view.

Automatic

Add pixel mapping

Creates a new pixel mapping entry for the selected universe using the current selection's position, direction, and pixel count. DMX address auto-increments from existing entries.

Right-click on unmapped pixel within a selection

Delete mapping

Removes the mapping entry that covers the selected pixel(s). If a selection spans multiple entries, all intersecting entries are removed.

Right-click on a mapped pixel

Locate submenu

Light up specific pixels on the physical fixture to identify them. Options: Locate selected (highlights the selected pixels), Locate row, Locate column. "Dim other pixels during locate" dims non-located pixels for contrast.

Output must be routed (connected). Locate row/column require a single-pixel selection.

Skip DMX address

Marks the DMX start channel(s) of the selected pixel(s) as skipped. Skipped channels are omitted from the Art-Net output.

Selection on mapped pixels

Re-Enable DMX address

Removes a skip from a previously skipped DMX address. Shows a submenu listing all currently skipped addresses for the selected universe.

Selected universe has skipped addresses

Stop Locating

Stops the active locate operation and restores normal output.

Inside the Locate submenu; active only during locate

Import CSV

Import a pixel mapping from a CSV file.

Button

Export CSV

Export the current pixel mapping to a CSV file.

Button

Save Pixelmask

Save a pixel mask image based on the current mapping.

Button

Add Universe

Add a new Art-Net universe. The IP address is copied from the previous highest universe. The new universe is auto-selected.

Button. Universe range: 1–32768.

Selected Universe

Choose which universe to view and edit. Keyboard Up/Down arrows cycle through universes when focused.

Dropdown

Edit Universe

Change the universe number. If the target number is already taken, it skips to the next available number in the same direction.

Integer input, 1–32768

IP

Set the destination IP address for this universe's Art-Net packets.

IPv4 address (default: 127.0.0.1)

Remove Selected Universe

Delete the currently selected universe and all its pixel mappings.

Button

X

Start position X coordinate in the output grid.

1 to output width

Y

Start position Y coordinate in the output grid.

1 to output height

Pixel

Number of pixels mapped from the start position in the selected direction.

0+

Direction

Direction the pixel run extends from the start position.

Up / Down / Left / Right

DMX address

DMX start channel for the first pixel of this mapping entry. Each pixel consumes 3 channels (RGB).

1–512

Skip addresses

Comma-separated list of DMX start channels to skip within this entry. Skipped channels are omitted from the output.

Comma-separated integers (1–512)

Add pixel to DMX mapping

Add a new mapping entry. Position and direction are based on the previous entry. DMX address auto-increments.

Button

Remove

Remove this mapping entry.
