PATCH IT LIKE A FIXTURE • Patch as a Generic IRGB 8-bit fixture on any universe • Set the start address, and m-BER tells you exactly which channels it uses • Intensity, red, green and blue on four channels per region SPLIT THE SCREEN Run the whole display as one light, or divide it into independently addressed cells: • Single: one full-screen fixture • Half: two cells, side by side or stacked • Quad: four cells as a grid, in rows or in columns Every cell gets its own four channels, so one device can be four fixtures. MORE THAN A SCREEN On iPhone, two extra channels put the flashlight and the vibration motor on the desk. Flash, pulse and buzz on cue, straight from your console. BUILT FOR THE SHOW • Orientation locks the moment the fixture goes live, so a bumped phone never flips the look • Clean, full-bleed output with nothing on screen but light • Works across iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.
