Fixture - Showtec Shark Zoom (Wash) One - work only with 15 Channel mode.

[discover]

With FLX S24
Version 7.14 and
Library 4.01.01

Fixture Showtec Shark Wash One and

Fixture Showtec Shark Zoom Wash One

work only with 15 Channel mode.

May I request to correct the library of the 8 channel mode?

Hi @discover

If you're desperate, I've attached my own fixture profiles for these fixtures and modes. (The ones in the library might be based on these but Edward possibly rebuilt them in the GDTF editor).

Regards,

Hi @discover

The Showtec Shark Wash One has a 7-channel mode. The Showtec Shark Zoom Wash One has an 8-channel mode. 

Please could you describe what specifically isn't working with these modes? Does Pan/Tilt work?

Thanks a lot, Kevin 😀

How do I import the *.ift file?
In the (german) user manual I cannot see it.

I have doublechecked the Shark Wash One 7-channel mode, and the Shark Zoom Wash One in 8-channel mode. As these modes do not have colour mixing, you will need to choose a colour using the "Colour Mix" parameter to achieve light output. To do this, raise the fixture's fader, tap the "Colour" tab at the top, and then press the button in the middle of the "Colour Mix" parameter's encoder wheel. This will show all of the available colours, allowing you to tap the colour you want. You can then tap the encoder's button again to close. You could then store this colour as the fixture's default colour if you wanted to, so that the next time you raise the fixture's intensity, it comes on in this colour. Please click the link below for information on customising a fixture's default parameter values...

I hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Hi @discover

I will let you follow @Edward Z88's instructions first.

If subsequently you need to load "user created" fixture definitions, you just load them with Setup->Load (with the IFT file(s) on a USB stick of course).

Here is the entry in the English manual:

Good luck, I hope you get your lights working!

Thanks, Edward

I have learned,  followed your instructions and set-it up accordingly.
This has worked out. 😀

My most important take-away of this post is
to understand the modes and eg the limitatios of the simplier mode (in this case colour mixing).

- In this case, I go for the higher mode (15 Channel) which makes life easier.

Excellent - pleased to hear it. Let us know if there's anything else we can help with.
