ETC Unison Mosaic Designer v1.11.0 - Manual (Page 205)

System limits & capacities
System limits & capacities
Unison Mosaic Designer imposes the following project limits which can not be exceeded:
Groups 1024
Fixtures 30000 Discrete or compound fixtures
Fixture elements 60000
Elements or pixels within compound fixtures eg. 18 per James Tho-
mas Pixeline 1044
Moving lights 200 Automated or moving lights and conventional fixtures with scrollers
Pixel matrices 256
Frame arrays 1000
Instances of media, perlin noise, starfield, text and custom presets
deployed on timelines
Timelines 500
AVC presets 256
Custom presets 256
Media presets 256 Imported media clips
Media slots 1024
Text slots 1024
Fonts 16
Mover presets 256
Triggers 1024
Conditions per trigger 32
Actions per trigger 32
Controllers 40
So if all MSC 2s then the maximum number of DMX universes in
the project is 80 (80 x 512 = 49960 DMX 512 channels)
Remote Devices (exclud-
ing RIO D)
100
Per Remote Device type per Designer project. If you are planning
to use more that 16 of one or more remote devices please contact
support to discuss your requirements in advance.
DALI and RIO Ds Please see DALI Interfaces for DALI and RIO D limitations
KiNet power supplies 1024 Per Controller in a Designer project
Timecode Buses 6 MIDI or linear (SMPTE/EBU) timecode sources
Network Buses 5 Ethernet trigger sources eg. UDP
Audio Buses 4 Audio trigger sources
Plan size (pixels) 8192x8192 Plan and fixture library scale is 1cm:1pixel (0.394":1pixel)
As you can see from the above limits, the Unison Mosaic control system can scale to an impressive size that
rivals even state-of-the-art lighting consoles.
However, while the Controllers themselves provide a scalable solution (each Controller only stores and pro-
cesses the data relevant to it), the PC running the Designer software will need greater performance, particularly
the OpenGL graphics system, as the project size increases. For very large projects, or projects where some of
the above limitations are restrictive, please contact
support to discuss your requirements in advance.
Best Practices
Just like any other computational device, Controllers have a finite amount of resources available to them.
