Intro
The LED mapping panel is where you
-
Create and manage all digital twins of the current show
-
Create mappings about which tile is output where
-
to recreate the setup of your LED processor(s)
-
OR to define it here and then recreate that on the LED processors side
-
-
Define how 2D media elements will be projected across one or more bodies
-
Create your LED volume for manual twins and video walls to reflect your physical setup
LED volumes are not always created here. Bodies for Tracking Twins are generated in Pixotope Tracking, and Manual Twin bodies using Spline, Cube, or Single (with curvature) presets are created in Pixotope Editor. Once those bodies exist, come back here to create mappings and optionally set up 2D media.
