Your kit includes all the decorations you’ve selected for your home, each prop includes a 25′ EZ extension cord for easy setup. The kit also features pre-programmed controllers tailored to your light show, complete with a detailed connection guide to ensure everything works seamlessly.
It includes your decoration with all pixel lights installed
Our system automatically saves your layout, allowing you to easily return and add more decorations whenever you’d like. It also integrates seamlessly with the controllers you’ve previously purchased from EZRGB. If there are available ports on your current setup, the system will prioritize using them first and will reprogram your existing controller to accommodate the new additions to your show.
Yes, the system is updated with new features and models every few days.
No worries, when we makes changes to the system it redoes yours automatically.
With our system, you won’t receive sequence files directly. Instead, you’ll get a .fseq show player file that’s ready to upload and enjoy! If you notice anything unusual, you can try using “hints” in the description field of xLights. There are more details in the boxes below about using hints. Only use hints if there’s an issue, as they help us improve by learning from errors. For further help, reach out to our support team at [email protected]
Using Descriptions
All codes below are to be placed in the “Description” field of the xLights model. Having additional text in the description field, before, between, or after the codes, is fine. Codes can combined in many cases.
As the system grows smarter we hope to have it perfect as but sometimes the elves are sleeping. Follow the steps below and enter the given info in your “Description Field” in xLights.
Singing Face Roles
The system automatically assigns faces to singing roles in the sequence. This may not work out quite the way you want, if one of the faces deserves particular focus. This can be adjusted with the following tags:
[I:Primary] – Assign the lead singing role
[I:Secondary] – Assign the secondary singing role
[I:Backup] – Assign the backup singing role
Overriding Stuff
Our elves do their best to get everything right, but sometimes they don’t. If the type of a model is not mapped correctly, here are some overrides “cheat codes” you can use to change the results, and help train the system for the future.
We want our system to be EZ, so we do not suggest using these codes unless you are having a problem. Use of codes is reviewed frequently to improve the system, and therefore the meaning and behavior of codes may change in the future.
[T:Arch] – Treat as an arch
[T:CandyCane] – Treat as a candy cane
[T:Cross] – Treat as a cross
[T:Cube] – Treat as a cube
[T:Flood] – Treat as flood lights. This is sometimes a good idea for light strings that serve better as floods, especially if there are not other floods in the layout.
[T:Icicles] – Treat as icicles
[T:Line] – Treat as a line
[T:Matrix] – Treat as a matrix. This also comes in variants for the matrix shape:
[T:Matrix_Horizontal] – A long, thin, horizontal matrix
[T:Matrix_Column] – A larger column matrix
[T:Matrix_Pole] – A smaller column matrix, such as a peace stake or pole
[T:Snowflake] – Treat as a snowflake
[T:Sphere] – Treat as a sphere
[T:Spinner] – Treat as a spinner
[T:Star] – Treat as a star
[T:TuneTo] – Treat as a “Tune To” sign. See additional instructions for the type of tune to sign.
[T:Tree] – Treat as a tree
[T:WindowFrame] – Treat as a window / door frame.
In the layout tab, get your display centered, and then right click to set the default viewpoint.
Enter “[T:WindowFrame]” in the description field of the prop that should be treated as a window.
Put “[I:Skip]” in the description field of the prop to be skipped.
Model Sizes
In some cases, the system may not detect the sizes of props such as trees or stars, which has a large impact in the role the props play in the sequence. For these cases, you can override the size:
[S:Mini] Set size to mini
[S:Mega] Set size to mega
[S:Default] Set size to default
Using “Tune To” Signs with EZRGB
First Head over to the “My Account” then click on “My Show Settings” fill out the required fields and click submit.
Fixed “Tune To” Signs
“Tune To” signs that are fixed can only display one message. Most of these are custom made, with custom models, such as:
EZRGB may not recognize these as “Tune To” signs. They can be marked as “Tune To” signs by putting “[T:TuneTo]” in the xLights “Description” field for the model. Models marked this way will be lit up during the sequence, color-matched to the sequence.
ADVANCED: Adding More Color
If you want to use multiple colors on your fixed “Tune To” sign, you can do this with submodels. In addition to marking the sign with “[T:TuneTo]”, add submodels called “Color1”, “Color2”, “Color3”. These submodels will be assigned different colors from the sequence, as available.
Multi-Frequency “Tune To” Signs From The xLights Library
If you have purchased a “Tune To” sign from a coro vendor, it may be in the xLights library. Supported signs will adjust to your FM frequency. The following are supported in the library:
If your “Tune To” is not shown and is not rendering properly, the elves at EZRGB may notice and fix it for you. You can always reach out to [email protected] for help.
“Tune To” Matrix
This is still being implemented.
Non-EZRGB Options
If your “Tune To” sign is not in your layout (A/C, stand alone player, etc.) no need to do anything, of course.
If your “Tune To” sign is in your layout, and you do not want to use EZRGB to drive your “Tune To” sign, simply add “[I:Skip]” to the “Description” field in xLights. EZRGB will not put any effects on the model. You can then run a stand-alone player on the “Tune To” sign, or use an FPP or xSchedule background sequence.
