    RDM

    I’ve got it to transmit RDM I think, but the led is alternating between yellow (dmx) and green (RDM and dmx) so not sure if it’s 100%ok.

    RDM

    Hi, we have a Transcension N4 artnet-dmx. The manual says that it should allow RDM transmission but I can't seem to get it to do so. Anyone else have one of these beasts?

    Flash button

    Yep, just takes me into the fixture set up page unless I’m pressing them in the wrong order. Might have been holding button and pressing setup. 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Flash button

    How do I make the button under the fader flash when in channel mode? atm it just selects and deselects the channel.

    colour pallete

    evening all, should I be able to select a single fixture within a cue, adjust its colour and then save that as a pallette and then apply that pallette to all same type of light?
  6. If you'd had cue 42 live and added the foh and recorded cue 43 would that have worked?
  7. That's the one, thanks!!
  8. Ok checked programme timer under the z key and it says 5 secs but it still snaps the colour when I select a pallet. Am I doing something wrong?
  9. Great. Thanks both
  10. Is there a way of putting a time on the colour palette so that it fades rather than snaps when using it live?
  11. Is it possible to replace the MCB’s on the betspack 4 with rcbo so I can feed the rack with an mcb and any fault will trip just the faulty circuit rather than the entire rack? being an outdoor venue gives us a little problem with rain!! thanks

    Delay

    I should know this and can’t find in the manual either but can someone please remind me of how to delay either the up or down part of a cue please? thanks.

    RDM

    Thanks both. So if I do the following: use RDM to patch all my fixtures disconnect from console start a new show file reconnect to console and allow to discover all fixtures as set store this as my base file after visiting company has left reattach my console with base file loaded and press revert rig. Will this re-patch my fixtures to how they were?

    RDM

    ok thanks for that Edward. Disappointing as it means if a visiting company comes in and changes the mode and address of each fixture I will have to remap everything to get it up and running again. It would be useful to have a similar function to a lot of audio kit in that you can select "update from or to a device"

    RDM

    Morning all, Just configuring our rig to use RDM and I was just checking that when a show is saved it keeps a record of the RDM ref in relation to the fixture settings? So if I recall a show the fixtures will all be set up correctly?

    Betapack 4

    Hi all, could someone give me an idiots guide to using the betapack 4 please? Assuming its still just 6 dmx channels but do you have to change to dimming law if using the hot power and then change back if using the dimmer? Thanks

    Remdim

    Perfect thanks.

    Remdim

    Thanks Jon. A bit confused by the “next/previous is holding shift whilst pressing next/previous”

    Remdim

    In remote syntax screen is there a way of using remdim? is next and prev a thing on flx?
  22. Will it ever be possible to have the outputs and cue list on separate screens?

    Capture files

    Ok great. TBH it doesn't really affect me as I just want to use the capture software to plot in the daytime! It works well for me that way. I originally thought that once the flx took control the capture control stopped working, it wasn't until I saw the tutorial that I thought there might be an issue and it might help others if I raised it.

    Capture files

    No, the controls in capture are not correct and don't control the lights properly.

    Capture files

    Hi Edward, I'm running the latest phantom download for these tests. I had the same experience on the flx yesterday at work. I've rechecked the patch and all seems ok, so not sure what I was looking at before. All the controls from the flx work as they should and the outputs look correct, it's the controls within capture that don't correspond or change regardless of light position. If I try to use the focus position in capture as you showed us the lights just point in random directions This was the result of a single mouse click with the focus tool. You can also see that according to capture the light should be blue even though flx is outputting white. It all returns to normal once phantom/flx is disconnected.
