  1. Thanks Kevin and Ed, glad we got to the bottom of it quickly. Would this type of thing do the job....?? https://www.thomann.de/gb/showtec_net_8_5.htm So I am guessing the FX4 is for perhaps receiving a converted sACN/Artnet signal from an to breakout to fixtures on the stage. Also should I be using Artnet or sACN please.....??
  2. Good morning, I am entering into networking as I am going to use a laptop as a tracking back up to my FLX. Ed has guided me to the point that the laptop and desk are now talking to each other (thanks). So I tried last night testing the output of the desk down an RJ45 cable to the RJ45/DMX split box (picture attached) and from there on DMX to the fixture. Unfortunately this did not work but I had checked the fixture and output via DMX out on Uni1 previously which was all OK. I set the fixture on Uni4 and enabled both Artnet and SACN (as I was not sure which to use), tried various RJ45 cables but the one I used originally was absolutely fine for Capture. Not sure if I can take an output directly from the desk into the split box I have or perhaps I have not configured something correctly on the desk. Can anybody help please......??
  3. Printable Set up sheets i.e. with Fixtures, associated channels and DMX addresses .... thanks.
  4. Thanks Jon, I have given that a try but what I really need is to have the FOH fresnels etc adjustable in intensity but not fixed to a value which this fix seems to be the case. Ideally the rest of the show doing its stuff but FOH independent of that and intensity adjustable on a fader please....???
  5. Hi, is there any way at all to get certain fixtures to be bypassed or ignored if triggering solo cues. Any help most welcome please.....??
  6. Thanks Ed, I will download and give it a try !!
  7. Thanks for the info so far folks. Its not a red effect specifically I was after. Lets just say I could pull up any colour combination on any cue on those PARS, then set off another cue with the white chase to override whatever colour is on them..............?? I have also had a look at the manual and cannot find anything on 'Red Sparkle Effect'...??
  8. Can anyone help please........... happy to be shown the obvious and be a numpty to achieve the requirement.....??
  9. Hi all, I am trying to do the following namely have a cue running say in red on a group of PAR fixtures and then introduce a cue chase with single white PARS within that group. So in summary I have a cue running with a colour but now and then want to run a white chase up those lights but have them return to the original colour. I have played about with the recording settings and found nothing that works thus far. Also the manual does not help me (probably my interpretation of it is wrong). As always grateful for your input.
  10. Thanks very much Ed. I will give the tips you mention above a try !!
  11. Hi all, hope you are well. I was at a venue where they had an Orb in play and they had a monitor screen up where there were multiple pages of cues up. There were approximately 48. I was wondering how you do this and is it possible to bring up multiple cue pages up at once on the FLX. At this time I am having to select through the 10 pages to see what is running and what is not. Grateful for your input as usual. Rgds Mac
  12. Hi, I am thinking of getting a dongle as a back up to my FLX. I was wondering if I would be constrained to only 1 universe. Does anyone have any information on this please....??
  13. FLX desk plus two wings and handy rig. Willing to help out and travel if appropriate/covered.
  14. Seems I may have one now

    FLX Wing Hire

    HI all, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a route to hiring an FLX Wing please. I have one on order however not available at manufacturers until 21st Jan which will be too late for the first use for me. Any ideas please....??
  16. Evening All, Does anyone have any tips for the control of the intensity duration on the Fly In and Fly Out effects please. I can control the speed of the movements etc but not intensity which results in it going on and off before/after I need it to.......?? I have played with the encoder values and waveforms but no joy as yet. Merry Xmas !!
  17. Was the Iiyama ProLite T2452MTS one of them Ed....??
  18. Hi Ed, I set up everything and all working fine. I never had to hit update at all ..... it just worked weirdly. I also unplugged the USB and within system info it is picking it up attaching and detaching. The problem is will this happen again ..... is hitting Update the fix if this were to happen again please...?? Rgds Mac
  19. Brilliant Ed, works a treat thanks !!
  20. Thanks Ed, how would I do that. I have got a separate intensity for the movers on a playback but dont quite understand how to do this for those effects that include intensity data.....?? Rgds Mac

    Print Patch

    Thanks Ed and looking forward to this fix.
  22. Evening all, I have a number of moving head effects on playbacks and I like to set them up i.e. colour, position, effects before bringing up the intensity so I have the movers intensity on a separate fader (playback). So all the mover attributes are recorded without intensity. I am looking to achieve for example a mover scene with them going through a particular movement pattern but have them offset (so I set the 'Random offset individually') and adjust the encoder wheels as needed for speed and size. Next I would like them to flash on and off randomly so select 'Mark On' and adjust encoder wheel values. Despite recording this with intensity down it is still there and I cant use my independent intensity fader. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on this please...?? Rgds Mac
  23. Hi Dan, is your touchscreen still good or have you had any problems with it. I am just curious as I got one of these touchscreens after reading your post. It was good for a week but then had problems. Ed has put up a possible fix On a different post) which I have yet to try but was just wondering what your experience has been so far...?? Rgds Mac
