Colour fading

[thierry]

Hi everybody,

here is my problem :

i record a cue with 4 fixtures intensity 100%, colour red

i record the 2nd cue on the same submaster with the same 4 fixtures intensity 100%, colour blue

when i switch from cue 1 to cue 2, the red become blue instantaneously, which is so far normal because the two intensities are 100% and only the colour is changing

But i would like the colour to fade from red to blue, and it doesn't seem to work even if i specify the colour to fade

i'm doing something wrong for shure, or the settings of my fixtures are wrong

Something strange is that when i specify a fade in the beamshape area (strobe for example) with the same fixtures, that's ok, the strobe runs after my fade time

Any idea ?

Hi Thierry,

It sounds like you have Fader Controls Colour enabled for that playback. When fader controls is enabled for an attribute of a playback, that attribute's parameters will ignore the fade times defined for the cues. To disable this, hold SETUP and tap the playback's button to open the Playback Settings. From the settings, tap Colour to disable it, indicated with a blue button stripe. Click OK, and you will then be able to use cue fades.

Hope this helps, if you have any questions let me know.

you have to set a memory color exit time1 and a memory color entry time 2, otherwise you put it directly in memory 1 and in 2

Cues have a single colour time, which is the time it takes to change the fixture from its current colour, to the colour stored in the cue. This can also be delayed if necessary.

Thanks a lot, it's all right now.

I've done so many manipulations that i must have been "colour enabled" in my submaster an "colour fade time" in my cues, or "colour disabled" in my submaster and "no colour fade time" in my cues....

All the best,

Thierry
