Kirkup_xp Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 My suggestion is for the ability to home an individual wheelgroup page, instead of having to home a whole attribute group. This could be implimented by holding Wheel Group and pressing Home. What may need to change is that currently its a 'down' press which activates a wheelgroup change, instead it should be an 'up' press, leaving 'down' press for activating the Home WheelGroup function. I have a project coming up using a media server and a Fat Frog, which could make use of this function. Let me explain my reasons a little furthur... Media servers such as High Ends Catalyst system use a lot of DMX Channels. Catalyst uses 40 for each 'profile' you have to patch - upto 8 on some of the larger systems, so you're talking a lot of wheelgroup pages on the FF. What is on one wheelgroup may be totally irellevant to what is in another - the current Catalyst profile has 9 wheel groups defined in beamshape alone. I'd like to be able to reset (ie Home) the size and shape, without having to re-select the video clip i'm playing. Does that make sense? Its not really partial 'programming' as this would only affect the live outputs, memories would stay with the whole 'beamshape' group tagged or untagged. Infact, the fact that beamshape has to be tagged as one entity works in your favor when programming a media server as you're much more likely to program it in 'full' mode. Its not life or death, I just thought it would be a nice feature and fairly easy to implement. Peter Quote Peter Kirkup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Why do you even want to use a Frog for the Catalyst systems? That seems to be your problem. Quote > 500 posts, time for a new T-shirt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
