    Steve,
     
    The iPad software has the same five desktop views as the console and also has a panel and wheel view too. I don't have an iPhone so can't comment one with the remote software.
     
    I favour using the iPad to remotely fine-tune positions and fade in/out generic lights for focusing, leaving the iPad at stage level if working at height from zarges. Each desktop view can open different palettes where I like having four quarter screen ones on my main display with two half screen width ones on the iPad. It would be possible to use the iPad whilst programming using palettes but would depend on your preference of what views were open. That said, even if four palettes open at the same time was a little difficult, you can have four or more palette/views at full screen available at the touch of a tab at the bottom of the desktop screen - you can also have individual palettes on different desktops too, so things are pretty flexible and can be set how you want them.
     
    Attached are three photos showing iPad mini and iPad;
    zeros1.jpg is the panel view seen for a Solution console - the Solution XL has smaller graphics because of the extra faders
    zeros2.jpg is a view I set on Desktop 1 for Memories and Submasters
    zeros3.jpg is a view on Desktop 2 for the Colour, Effect, Beamshape and Position palettes
     
    Hopefully this is helpful

  3. mikeb's post in Martin SCX700 Mode 2 on Jester 24 What does what was marked as the answer   
    Roy,
     
    From what I can see the M2 mode of the fixture profile has 10 DMX channels;
     
    Colour: Color1
    Beamshape: Shutter, Gobo1, G1 Rotate, Macro, FX Mac and FX Speed
    Position: Pan, Tilt, P/T Speed
     
    I predominantly use a Solution XL or Frog console so forgive me if this is something that you've already tried, but each aspect whether Colour, Beamshape or Position can have multiple "layers". This means that you press the attribute button, in this case Beamshape, more than once to view all the available options.
     
    Hope this is of use.
     
    Regards

    Hi there.
     
    Looks like the link needs updating...
     
    That said, the 10.12 software and phantom offline editor is available from the Frog Range Software release page;

    Hi Ben
     
    I've downloaded the manual and have created a fixture file for you. If you can take a look and see if it's Ok.
     
    Let me know of any problems.
     
    Regards
     
    Mike
     
    I've updated the fixture file for 3 DMX and 2 DMX modes - Regards Mike

    Not sure if I remember my DMX channels correct but I have created a fixture file.
    DMX 1 - R, DMX 2 - G, DMX 3 - B, DMX 4 - Fixed Colours, DMX 5 - Strobe and DMX 6 - Macro (Sound to Light?)
     
    When loaded, I believe you should see a virtual dimmer in the Beamshapes section.
     
    Let us know if you have any problems.
     
    Regards

    PFA...
     
    Ok, the manual is a little confusing when it says;
     
    - DMX 2 Strobe, Shutter Closed and Slow to Fast - but Shutter should be open and static.
    - DMX 5 Gobo Rotate @ 128-191 picture shows Low Speed to Fast but text shows Fast to Slow
    - DMX 6 Prism @ 8-132 picture shows Low Speed to High Speed but text shows High to Low
     
    Let me know if I need to make adjustments
     
    Regards

  8. mikeb's post in Betapack 2 Analogue Connector was marked as the answer   
    Richard,
     
    Those are the connectors I have for connecting a demux to my betapacks.
     
    If you haven't got the spec for what connection is on what pin then this may be of use;
    Zero88: Pin 1-> Ch1, Pin 2 -> Ch2, Pin 3 -> Ch3, Pin 4 -> Ch4, Pin 5 -> Ch5, Pin 6 -> Ch6, Pin 7 -> Supply and Pin 8 -> Ground.
     
    Hope that helps

  9. mikeb's post in American Dj Inno Color Beam Quad 7 was marked as the answer   
    Hi there,
     
    You can try the attached 13 channel DMX personality. I've not included an image of the fixture, so it should work on both USB and floppy consoles.
     
    Regards

  10. mikeb's post in Miltec Par144Qs/b was marked as the answer   
    Hi Terry,
     
    I can't attach the detailed DMX info from Miltec as it's too big but I have attached an IFT that I've compiled. The attached is for the newer desks as I've included a fixture image. Reply back if you need an IFT for the older floppy based Frog desks.
     
    I've created personalities for RGBW and RGBA fixtures - hope they're Ok.
     
    Regards
