  1. One thing to consider is the really old version of the Fat Frog desks have a different configuration on the remote wiring to the Solutions/Leap Frogs and the later versions of the Frog range.

    If I remember correctly this was something like input 1 and 7 were swapped over to bring this in line with our standard wiring configuration.

     

    The smpte and midi inputs have no additional loading difference whether the card is fitted or not.

  2. If you have not done so already I would advise you isolate the dimmer until you have had it assessed.

    Continuing to use this if there is a problem can result in more serious issue occurring.

  3. Hi Kevin,

     

    Under normal conditions the desk should be programming to the battery backed RAM as this get full it will move the data from there to the flash RAM, as you pointed out you get a "saving show" message when you hit program on occasion.

    From what i remember of the desk architecture, the act of just going into an out of super use will not force the data to be moved i think you have actually make a change to a setting and leave super user to do that.

  4. hi andre,

     

    please could email on the address below the units serial number found on the rear of the unit.

    also can you confirm if the unit is running on single of three phase.

    Are you also able to change to all modes in the unit or just manual mode?

  5. Hi ted,

     

    On the older units (assuem we are talking about the unit with just 2 LCD's) the only way to change the home position is by editting the actaul profile on a PC then loading it back in.

    Your idea of setting a working light to the same address is the way I woudl approach this as well.

  6. hi

     

    yes I got your e-mail, and have made a reply to you as well. Will resend but also posted below.

     

    Both the show files you have sent to me look to have been corrupted, I am getting fail to load error on them when i attempt to load them into phantom or a desk.

    It does load something in as some of the submasters have names attached to them but there appears to be no content to them.

    This may be due to a corrupted internal memory on the desk.

    It is worth trying a reset desk from super user, then try programming a show and saving this.

  7. This sounds like a very early basic model dimmer, these only had a DMX start address option available on them.

    there are a couple of options on this.

    Please PM me on the address below to take it further.

  8. Hi

     

    Not something i have seen before with this.

    Can you send a copy of the a show file for me to look at to the address below.

    If you could also let me have the serial number so I can date the hardware a bit more precisely.
