Next Update - Idea's/Thing's I've Noticed

[BenDoesLighting]

Hi Guys,

 

I don't want to sound like a royal pain in the bum but I have some ideas that I've picked up from using the solution desk every single day for the last two years or so.

1) Inclusion of a version of "cheat sheets" like what ETC use

2) The option to have in-built effects like effect generators etc

3) A form of OnPC which you can program show files (with a visualiser) and then up-load onto desk (I know you have an OnPC but I've never found out whether this is possible or not)

4) More button customizability for Solution Desk (I understand you can change the insert feature but the ability to change around the functions of others

 

Sorry if you already have any of these (I'm still learning lighting), or if any of these are pointless / not what the general consensus want. Just things I've noticed so far from my experiences.

Many thanks.

We don't have "Cheat Sheets" for Solution console, but have you checked out our knowledgebase? This contains many different articles and tips for using the console...

If you hold SHIFT and tap EFFECT, this will open the Effects window on the external monitor. You should see a button allowing you to Automatically Create Effects. This will create 32 effects, a mixture of Position, Intensity, Colour and Beam effects that you can apply to your fixtures. You will be able to adjust each effect, and then record your own effect palettes.

PhantomZerOS is available to download from our website, and can emulate Solution consoles...

This allows you to program and edit show files, to load back into the Solution. If you then run visualisation software such as Capture on your PC, PhantomZerOS can then talk to the visualisation software...

As you mention the INSERT button is now fully customisable, but as well as this the channel buttons have a range of functions, and so do Playback buttons/faders. You can customise playback buttons in their settings, by holding SETUP and tapping a Playback button. What other button customisations would you like to see?

Hope that helps, any queries let me know.
