TroiaDoc - PixelRoom - Software - Concept

General

To achieve a modular architecture the software is split into several applications communicating via the TCP/IP protocol family. This allows the software to run on a single PC if possible or on multiple PCs if needed without redesigning.

Troia Distributor: troia_dist

receives the completed pixelroom stream via MCUF protocol
distributes the data to the pixelroom electrics, i.e. to the Distribution Modules
uses a config file to translate between 2D format of MCUF stream and hardware addresses of the pixels

Troia Stream Preview: TroiaStreamView

shows the MCUF stream in 2D format on screen for debugging and preview

Troia Pixel Mixer: TroiaPixMix

plays films produced in advance
shows texts
generates different effects
draws the different sources atop of each other according to its commands
sends the completed pixelroom stream using MCUF protocol to Troia Distributor
controlled by playlists running in background and interactively by 0 - 23 Troia Pixel Gui

Troia Pixel Gui: TroiaPixGui

control of the Troia Pixel Mixer
editing of playlists
interactive control of pixel wall

Troia Pixel Simulator

shows pixelroom in 3D on the screen
behaves as Troia Distributor
