SimonB Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I am working on a show with multiple LED Fixtures, and had to create my own Fixture Library. For the LED's its pretty easy, one Virtual Channel, and then RGB for the Colours a couple of them have a 4th channel for their mode. All Simple Stuff, however when I load my Fixtures into the Ill-500, then for each fixture the colours show up under the colour window, but there is no Overall Brightness control. Which will make plotting rather difficult. I have attached my Fixture Lib, Can Anyone give me a clue where i am going wrong. illusion500.ift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWR88 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 The reason that you have no overall dimmer channel showing is due to the Illusion not supporting the virtual dimmer channel in a fixture profile. It therefore ignores this channels when assigning the wheels. This is the same with the original Frog Range. It is only the newer products, Jester ML/TL and ZerOS desk that do support a virtual dimmer.

SimonB Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hi Many thanks for you reply .. I wish that was made clear in your user manuals. The Notes about the Fixture Editor make it look as if the support for Virtual Channels is there on the ill-500. Do you have any suggestions about using 30+ RGB LED devices on the ill-500 please ? Many thanks Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Hole Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Which LED fixtures are you using? Generally there is a mode that will include a dimming channel on the fixture. Which document makes it sound like the Illusion supports virtual dimmers? If you can point me to which one it is, we will see if we can make it clearer. Hope this helps, Quote Jon Hole Global Product Manager, Systems and Control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hi Jon, Nice to have your help again, I Am sure you remember me from Porthcawl :-) The File is referenced on the ill-500 page http://support.zero88.com/main/en/product/1 as http://support.zero88.com/main/en/download/307 it talks about fixtures working on the ill-500 and talks about virtual dimmers etc. Cheers Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Hole Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hi Simon, Thanks for that reference. I have updated the file to Issue 3, which now mentions that Virtual Intensities are not available on the Illusion 500 range. Thanks :-) Quote Jon Hole Global Product Manager, Systems and Control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
