FLX S24 & Cameo Movo Z Beam

[Lena]

Hi guys,

I have a problem using Cameo „Movo Z Beam“ Moving Heads with my FLX S24 console. Most parameters work totally fine, but when it comes to controlling the LED ring (should be ondmx channels 22 upwards), I just can’t tweak anything. 
Any idea what I‘m doing wrong? 😞

Have you patched the console to the same fixture mode as the mode actually set on the fixture? Complex fixtures often have a range of channel count modes, sounds like you might have patched a low channel count mode on the FLX S different to that on the actual fixture.

Sorry if you already know this stuff, no insult intended!

The other thing you could try just to confirm the fixture operates is to patch 22 (or whatever) dimmer 1-channel dimmer fixtures at the base address of your mover and then using the faders, ensure each causes the fixture to behave in the way you expect from the DMX map in the fixture documentation.

Also in the fixture patch screen in setup you should be able to see a list of what each channel does on that fixture, to make sure you can see channels 22 up have the correct fixture parameters associated with each - there is a chance (although slim) that the fixture definition has an error in it.

If you can, upload the showfile here in case Z88 folk need to help you out further...

The 36-channel mode of this fixture is a multicell mode. Please watch the tutorial below for information on controlling multicell fixtures on FLX S...

Hope this helps.
