MAX FPS

Post by gilsontech »

While testing the hardware/software we're seeing a max, but consistent 20fps output of DMX.

2 Questions:
1 - Is this a software or hardware limitation? Can it be speed-up to at least 30fps? Ideally 44fps?
2 - What is the fps for Artnet through the software?

Thank you.

It was an "Operating System" limitation, when we made V6 & V7.
It is not easy to make faster with a multi-OS code, using native OS gadgets.
This means Artnet is not faster.

We keep in mind to make new tests with V8, which has a new "scene/project" player engine.

BTW, could you please tell us more about the weakness of 20fps only ?

We do a lot of pixel effects over a lot of channels at once and we get slow frames, glitchy signals and it would be great to see faster speeds and fps.
Looking forward to v8

In V7, the Pixels projects are converted to scenes, and the scenes are played in Live.
In V8, Live will straight play the Pixels projects ; the rendering will be better, even with same speed refresh.
