This may be a desk specific error (I have spoken to Z88 and that is their suggestion) but I thought i'd post on here anyway incase anyone else has had the same symptoms:

 

When plotting our current production, we noticed that the percentage values on the Output screen are not the values that are recorded into the memory stack - the values in the memory stack seem to be 1% lower. Our dimmers must be running an odd dimming curve, but the 1% in the lower (10% to 30%) areas makes a visible difference to the state.

 

I've checked all the masters are at 100%, and have used the test mode to check that the faders are returning 100% values.

 

So, is this specific to our desk, or general to everyones?? To test, plot a scene where ch1 = 1%, ch2 = 2%, etc (using the generic faders)

 

Then go into preview and see what you actually have plotted.

I get the same thing

ch 1 set @1%,

2 @ 2%

3 @3%

etc

then store to submaster 1

 

a preview of sub 1 shows all correct as programmed, BUT playing back sub1 results in the channels being 1% down...

ie ch1 = 0%,

ch2 = 1%

ch3= 2%

 

Not sure if it effects me personally, but if you have a law shape in your dimmers, then I guess each % could count !

 

Cheers
