Well mine appears to be a bit more complicated (just ask frank). Here's my workflow:
1. Create sequence in LSP, set DMX for Zone 1, LOR for Zone 2, E1.31 for Zone 3.
2. Use Light Elf to create xseq file which plays fine across the display (I took all the sequence out of the matrix since I was using xlights to add the Nutcracker effects).
3. Then I open the xseq file and create my simple text scrolling effect and then I save the xseq file.
4. When I put it on the show computer last night, no lights were lit and it was just the audio playing.
Hardware:
DMX USB dongle
LOR USB dongle
ECG-P12R
Maybe I should put something in the matrix channels in LSP--I don't even know if Light Elf creates a matrix output. That's why I was asking how xlights knew to put the data into my Zone 3 E1.31 matrix, it has 3 zones to choose from. Maybe it would be better for me to attach the xseq from Light Elf, then the sequence after xlights does the text animation (before/after)?
Note: If I remove the DMX/LOR networks and only have the E1.31 matrix in LSP, create xseq using Light Elf, then use xlights to create the text, the matrix works fine.
