MM DMX refresh rate
Posted: Tue Jun 14, 2016 9:23 pm
I'm trying to figure out how quickly my LEDs/lights/etc connected to my DMX interface are getting new sets of data via artnet from MM.
So if i have a video playing back at 25fps in VDMX, sent over to MM via syphon, and i am then using that to turn into dmx over artnet, what is the fastest way i can change (refresh?) the DMX data? am i limited by my 25fps video? suppose i wanted to see my LEDS refresh 50 times a second, if i play my video back at double speed in VDMX, where is the bottle neck? in VDMX, syphon? MM? and where is the 'glass ceiling' in terms of how quickly MM can analyse each frame of video and spit that data out to the DMX, ie what is the fastest 'refresh rate' of the video-> DMX that MM can manage, and how do i go about providing the best conditions to make this happen?
Thanks for any help in advance...
EDIT: sorry i just saw i put this in FAQ by mistake. Perhaps a mod can move to general. Apologies.
