HLS - Make your WHOLE Display a PixelPlane and control it as a single channel

Did you know you could control EVERY light in your Display using a PixelPlane?

Makes lights chase left to right, top to bottom, etc.

I said EVERY light -- NOT just Pixels.

If you want to give it a try --- read on.

HLS has a RGB variation called "Mono Colored Pixel".

Did you know you can take an INCAN string of lights --- tell HLS it's an RGB string of type "Mono Colored Pixel"?

So ... step one is complete ... we can every light in our display defined as a Pixel.

Now --- determine the SIZE of the "Vertical Matrix" PixelPlane.

Take a picture of your display and place an X/Y grid over it and assign every Pixel to a Grid Cell and all of your NON-Pixels (your Pixels noted as Mono Colored) to a cell.

Map your lights to your Vertical Matrix PixelPlane grid (NOT Every Cell needs to have a light assigned to it).

You now have created a single PixelPlane that contains every light in your display --- pixels and non-pixels.

Now you can CHASE across your whole display or do whatever you desire.

HLS provides the tools to "Think Out-Of-The-Box" and create shows that few others can produce.

Have fun ... Christmas is coming soon.

Enjoy.
