  1. Hi Davyp,

     

    Are you aware of the different operating modes on the Jester range of consoles?

     

    You can program Submasters in PROGRAM mode, but you can only play them back in RUN mode.

     

    There are 4 modes:

     

    SUPERUSER / SETUP - Hold down the SHIFT key and MODE key together for around a second to get into this mode. Press and hold the mode key for around a second to get out of it.

    PRESET - Press and hold the SHIFT key to go into or out of this mode

    PROGRAM / RUN - It's just a tap of the mode key to go between these two modes

     

    On Phantom, to hold down a key, right click it. It will turn yellow to signify it's being 'held', do you can then left click another key.

     

    I hope this helps,

  2. You can record anything onto a Submaster, and the submaster can trigger (at 5%) or physically control any of the Attributes (Brightness, Position, Beamshape, Colour, Effect). However submasters can't control specific parametres, unless they are the only parametre tagged within an attribute. On the Leap Frog 48&96 consoles, the effect's speed, size, offset and rotation all make up a single effect, and can not be separated

  3. Hi Ian,

     

    Are you sure it's Error 002 and not 003?

     

    Sounds to me like the internal battery has died. They are very easy and cheap to replace. You need to get a CR2032 cell battery, which are available in most stores. You then need to open up the console, and the battery is clipped in on the main board, which is attached to the bottom tray of metal work.

     

    Best Regards,

  4. Hi Bart,

     

    You can hold SHIFT down while changing the wheels to FAN that across the different fixtures. However, that won't go left to right due to your layout. Really you need a matrix engine to do this, which isn't a feature of the Jester range.

     

    You could get a similar effect with a chase, but it will take a bit longer to program.

     

    Let me know if you have any further questions,

  5. Hi prentas1,

     

    How i can modify speed effect on submaster ? I set effect on my scanners and record it for submaster. I change size, offset and speed.

    In the submasters window, double click in the 'comments' column of the submaster you want to do this on. A window will popup, and at the bottom there is a button called 'Submaster Controls'. Select this, and then click on 'Effect'. Click OK on both windows to close these. The submaster will now affect speed and size of the effect you have programmed.

     

    How i set to submaster value to dmx ? I have gobo on wheel, when i set rotate to 47, all go to left, when is 48 to 100, go to right. Can i seperate it for 2 submaster ? Left rotate and Right rotate ?

    It's not possible to do this I'm afraid. Depending you your fixture, you will often find it starts of going clockwise fast, slows down to a stop, and then starts rotating in the other direction, getting faster. If your fixture is like this, you can record your submaster with G1<<>> at 100%, and then keep the submaster in the middle, where the Gobo isn't rotating. Then, bring it down will make it go in one direction, and pushing it up will go in another direction.

     

    What is tracking mode ?

    There's a bit more information available here, let me know if it helps:

    Sorry for my bad english :-)

    You have no need to apologise!

     

    I hope this helps,

  6. Hi Karleaton,

     

     

    Try replacing G2 with T2/1 (Trigger Stack 2, Cue 1)

     

    If this doesn't work, please could you email me your show file? My email address is in my signature below.

     

     

    Running chases like this means that you can reuse Step Based chases multiple times throughout your show. We are looking at ways to make this even easier.

  7. Hi CBMatt,

     

    Yes any DMX desk will work as a wing for the LF48, with upto 30 submasters per page. There are already 10 submasters on the LF48, so you have another 20 available. If you wish, you can have all thirty on the wing, and the first 10 will be identical to the 10 on the console itself.

     

    The flash buttons will work as they do on the console, with the desk taking the related submaster to 100%. The console recognises the sudden 'snap' to 100%, and so will select that submaster, just like the flash buttons on the console itself do.

     

    You can run a cue list from the 'wing', but obviously channel 1 on the 'wing' will be affecting submaster 1 on the console itself.
