[transfering show from leapfrog 96 to 48]

so i could either use an additional dmx desk or go from the dmx out to the dmx in on the same desk and put them to the channels but i do not want to take either of the options just stated. ill see if the 2 venues are willing to change desks over for the week due to a lot of subs being used 10 pages to be exact the 2 venues are run by the same council anyway so cant see it being a problem

 

Thanks Anyway

 

p.s might be an idea to put like in the comand line an option to control subs somehow

[transfering show from leapfrog 96 to 48]

Hi

I have a small tour coming up where i have two venues where one has the leapfrog 96 and the next one has the leapfrog 48.

 

If i were to transfer the show from the 96 to 48 is it possible to operate submasters 11 to 30 on the leapfrog 48 that i pre programmed on the 96 version or should i stick to the first 10

 

Thanks

[move on dark]

you need to go in to set up and theres a setting in there to turn move on dark on or off you will need to select on

what you might find is after turning on move on dark you will need to run through the q stack once before the move on dark fully functions

[random flash]

hi again

 

i've just noticed that the dmx out seems to be losing power briefly as i've used 2 separate cables in the desk and connected it to 2 seperate dimmer packs and coming out of the 2 different dmx out on the desk and that my findings show that the power on the dmx out on the desk is failing and causing it to do funny things i.e. flashing lights. any ideas

 

PLEASE HELP ME

 

Carwyn

 

p.s. is there a desk based test i can do to support my theory

[random flash]

hi i had some problems with a different cable some time ago i have permus D54 dimmers witch go through a dmx - D54 converter whitch i dont think theres a termination point before the through out.

The other Dmx line goes from the DMX output 2 down to stage and it has has no termination point on it.

 

hear from you soon

[from .asc to .isf]

hi this might help this is what i was told about a month ago (CLICK HERE)

 

yes, it's possible to import this. You need to first translate the show from SSF to ASCII (ALQ) using the "Show port" utility which is available on the Strand website - http://www.strandlight.com/US/softwares.html

 

Once you have the show file in ALQ format, copy it onto a USB stick and load it into the desk as normal. It should load fine however there will be a few things you'll need to do -

*Effects wont be programmed

*Chases wont be programmed

*Groups get translated to palettes as best we can, but of course will need updating

 

The fixtures will be imported as "Fixture Type 1" "Fixture Type 2" etc, as the ALQ format doesnt contain the name of the fixture itself. Use the "Change Type" button in Edit Fixtures to change it to use the internal fixture profile, then repatch the fixture as required.

 

I hope this helps - let us know how you get on,

[alphapack 2]
