Hi, new to QLC+ and was wondering if/how I can do the following:
- receive an ArtNet stream (1 universe)
- inject/overlay only selected channels
- output the modified ArtNet stream

I have a number of lamps (PARs and moving heads) which I am giving color information from the projection mapping software MadMapper, which for reasons I need to use. However, setting the moving heads correctly is turning out to be cumbersome from within MadMapper so I had the idea to use QLC+ for this. My current solution is using an external light desk which achieves exactly the steps I describe above, however I would really like to do the same thing from within my desktop environment and I suspect it should be possible with QLC+.

Any help or insight/tips where to look or which approach to take is highly appreciated!

Hi,
Take a look to the Inputs/Outputs tab in QLC+. You can set an Artnet input on an universe, make modifications on this universe and send to output modified.
