kgallen Posted November 17, 2015 Report Posted November 17, 2015 Hi Jon, (7.8.4 production) If a UDK is setup with Release=No, I found that Clear+UDK (or Clear+Fader Func) won't release the channels on the UDK. p57 of the Draft1 manual talks about UDK release, but you could read the two paragraphs under "Release" either way. I had a situation where the UDK controlled strobes on some LED fixtures (Flash=Latch). With the setup as Release=No, there was no real way to release the strobe. I was in tracking mode running a stack on playback 0, and running cues did not clear the strobe (since the strobe attribute was not tagged in any recorded cue and was tracking through and I didn't have a blocking cue - even a DBO wasn't!). Running Cue 0 (playback 0) also did not release the strobe, which I was surprised at - in that the strobing was still there when the fixture faded up in cue 1. Clear+UDK did not release the strobe. Home the fixture did not, because this was just in the programmer and Clear-Clear "released" the home. The only way I could find to release the strobe was to know that UDK4 has triggered it and change its setup to Release=Yes, re-trigger it and re-release it. I was just experimenting with the desk, but I think Clear+UDK (and Clear+Fader Func) should always release the channels, even if UDK setup Release=No, as I understand the Clear+... operation is somewhat intended as a "get out of jail" operation? Thanks, Kevin Quote
kgallen Posted November 24, 2015 Author Report Posted November 24, 2015 Hi Jon, I see you're answering posts - do you have any comment on this one? Thanks, Kevin Quote
Jon Hole Posted November 26, 2015 Report Posted November 26, 2015 I'm trying this on ZerOS 7.8.5, and CLEAR+UDK doesn't work, but CLEAR+Fader Function does appear to be working. I'll try 7.8.4 now. Quote Jon Hole Global Product Manager, Systems and Control
Jon Hole Posted November 26, 2015 Report Posted November 26, 2015 I see the problem... I was being slow. In ZerOS 7.8.4 CLEAR + Fader Function only releases the Multi Function Faders. In ZerOS 7.8.5, we've added UDKs to the list of things CLEAR + Fader Function releases. This fixes that problem. The other problem (CLEAR + UDK not working) has been logged as ZOS-6794 Quote Jon Hole Global Product Manager, Systems and Control
kgallen Posted December 10, 2015 Author Report Posted December 10, 2015 I concur with 7.8.5, Clear+Fader Func can force the release of a UDK (with Setup Release=No). Thanks for the ZOS on Clear+UDK not working. Quote
