thanks Wissmann for the workaround that I will use for this year.

I have added this to the features requests

I want to be able to store my matrix map elements for easier use in layers I have a number of display elements (matrix, megatree, lightpoles) that I have mapped my elements of various sizes onto 150 x 100 matrix, how do I store the elements as seperate areas on the master map so that I can easily se...

As well as the RGB digital strip using the WS2801 chips you may want to look at the RGB pixel's. mrpackethead shows this off really good with the 2009 version of a christmas tree which is controlled via Madrix basic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAt6A98lXQw http://www.stellascapes.com is a good pl...

thanks Dieter, I like those 3 solutions and will work out which one works best for me

I am using RGB Letter panel strings which use the WS2801 chips, as well as RGB 5050 nodes. both being driven via E1.31 (sACN) Gateway devices that drive the Pixel nodes directly.

One group who have done quite a lot of work with these RGB strips is http://www.auschristmaslighting.com, they have a great forum and are on the bleeding edge of the RGB technology for christmas lighting displays. I personally have 1500 RGB 8mm pixels connected to 8 DMX to pixel controllers and bein...

I curre...
