Generate DMX Lines on input

Considering the generative line objects are created on the output window, I can't send them to DMX. Is this right? Seems like led pixels would benefit from generative lines even more than projected output. Is there a way around this or a future feature?

Oh really? I'm referring to the line surface/media items, not the dmx line fixtures.
There is madline which can be syphoned in, but in madline you have no reference to the layout of your fixtures. I'd love if it was just me doing something wrong!

It looks like you need to update your madmapper

Yes you are right. You currently cannot do that. as the DMX only is editable in input window. and Madline is only editable in output window. hence they don't overlap. and plus i think Madline interacts in the same way as other media can with dmx.
I tested it on 2.5 beta 4

Yes Mad Lines cannot control LED fixtures. There is a tweak for it, in latest 2.5 beta, activate Syphon output and enable MM to show its output in Syphon Inputs. Then use the Syhon output of MM as the media for the fixtures. A bit tricky but it works
