Hello,
My question is perhaps very specific. I want to create a very specific timing of DMX values, based upon an existing timeline that creates a video that the DMX effects will be synchronised with. So I would like to know how I can write a (text?) file that might be built of lines like:
timestamp dmx_channel dmx_value
I created a similar output for the midi files for sound generation for the video, based upon the standard for MIDI files. It was semi-horrible (MIDI files are binary, there are lots of strange compression things because files in the 1980s were smaller, etc) but doable. Is there a similar file format I can use for xLights?
The resulting DMX file would then be played in parallel with the video files using multiple FPP modules synchronising for the complete experience.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Tim
