Thanks Edward, will give this a try. If I create a default show file from this and then a company change the addresses and modes can I then load this show and press recover rig and it should reset the RDM fixtures back to that show file?

Thanks Edward, Hope Plasa is going well. It's been many years since I attended. Shouldn't the fixtures work with this basic personality?

Hi, I have done a factory reset on the desk and then enabled Rigsync both globally and on each universe. It discovers all the compatible devices available and correctly identifies make and model but does not assign the correct fixture profile and so makes the fixtures unusable. When I try and change the fixture profile it says no alternative profies available. I have attached my test show file. rdm test.zos

I think I'm going to pause this until we receive our new gateway 4 and I will do some testing after that.

Hi, we have just bought some new wall mount Swisson dmx splitters that allow RDM transmission and have put the first one in direct from the dmx port on the back of the desk. the RDM light on the side of the Swisson is doing the same thing as the Artnet device which makes me think that the desk isn’t outputting RDM all the time. the Swisson instructions say the led should be solid ( same as the transcension). any help?

That’s great thanks Edward.

Hi, not sure I have 100% faith in the unit we have so looking at changing. The Swisson unit only says compatible with Artnet 1,2&3 but I think flx works with 4 is that correct? ideally I’d use a gateway 4 but it’s a little more expensive. thanks

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.

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?

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. 🤦🏻‍♂️

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

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?

If you'd had cue 42 live and added the foh and recorded cue 43 would that have worked?

That's the one, thanks!!

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?

Great. Thanks both

Is there a way of putting a time on the colour palette so that it fades rather than snaps when using it live?

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

Thanks.

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.

Brilliant thank you.

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?

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"

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?

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
