When I try to upgrade inside D-Pro 1.7.0, it fails to connect to the upgrade server. Contacted support@enttec.com. No joy.

Is there a direct link to the .EXE installer?

I used the wrong terminology. Just create the profile yourself in your My Fixtures area of fixtures.dmxis.com. Then download using the facilities in D-Pro.

How do I convert any of the fixtures that I have not created? Do you suggest manually modifying the local database? You cannot modify anything locally. It has to be done using fixtures.dmxis.com and then downloaded. You also cannot modify a fixture if you're not the creator. Make a private copy of ...

Just discovered that CMY color settings are not being stored in Palettes. Using Chauvet Legend 330 SR profile that I created. Color wheel settings are stored,,, but not CMY.

I need to create a profile for a fixture that has only HSV channels. Can that be done using the fixture editor?

I created a fixture profile for the COLORado 1 Quad Tour that includes the TR16 personality (shared with community). This has 16-bit channels for RGBW attributes, but I am not sure I've set up the channel categories properly. Anyone else done this yet?

If the cues are in a cue list, that is the default behavior.

If the cues are on separate show control buttons, make sure they are both in the same radio group.

Hope that helps.

Just started receiving upgrade harassment notices for Windows 10. Will D-PRO run on Windows 10? Or Plans for it? Didn't want to upgrade my laptop to a platform that can't run D-PRO.

My show has a Cubase sequence at the heart of it, so I can fire events on that timeline to keep things in sync with the tempo. I had thought about using the cue list, but after a lot of working with it today, particularly in the area of fades, I found too many issues to use it at present. I don't u...

Chris:

I use one CueList per song, where all cues use the same start trigger. Of course, you have to contend with tempo changes between songs since it's not stored in the cuelist.

Not on my Mobile Beats circa 2011. The knob scales both DMX and ILDA outputs.

Hope it helps.

Did you check the manual X/Y adjustment knob on the back of the units?

Hello there. I'll take a stab at answering. * Time Groups How can you set a specific time for a dimmer fixture. Just because I sometimes wish to have a few fixtures lighting up early or later than all the other ones in the same cue. It should be cue based I think, but I could not find a way to set i...

I don't believe Jeremy was suggesting you control the Tap Tempo button from Ableton. He was probably suggesting direct control of the tempo via MIDI CC as follows: Go to Preferences > Remote Control. Click "learn new mapping". Transmit a MIDI CC to D-Pro. Choose Show Control: SET TEMPO (6...

I'm not a DMIXS user, so I have to ask... what are the shapes that it has that are not in D-PRO? And are they Python scripts? Those are circle, diamond, figure 8, triangle, heartbeat, square, random. Yes, they are Python scripts... I've copied them to D-pro folder/macros/shapes, the program noticed...

DMXIS has more moving shapes (7) than D-Pro, (D-pro has only 3). How Can I get more moving fx scripts? Do you have any for me, please? p.s. I'm not in to programming myself at alll ) I'm not a DMIXS user, so I have to ask... what are the shapes that it has that are not in D-PRO? And are they Python...

Very odd. I cannot replicate this problem. I'm running two monitors as well, two 1920x1080 panels horizontally. I can freely resize any window regardless of monitor, and the snapping function still works on either screen. They stay where I put them and won't pop back to the main monitor when sized ...

I create also a Palette for red another-one for blue and a third one for Yellow (each time for all fixtures) in programming mode all works fine (and as I expect it) : I select a group and while dragging a palette in the programmer window, a new CUE is created and its affecting only the group which ...

D-PRO 1.4.2 Windows 8.1 AMD 7640 graphics Dual displays (1600 x 900 pixels for each, stacked vertically) I decided to re-arrange my work space today, and ran into a strange issue when re-sizing windows to occupy available space on a secondary monitor. Some windows are constrained to a size less than...

Would it be possible to extend the palette concept so that other palettes could be referenced in their definition? A little background... I use palettes quite a bit. For positioning moving heads to specific stage positions (to adjust layouts for differing stage sizes), for setting color(s), and even...

I often have several Show Control buttons active that belong to differing radio groups. I would like to have a dedicated Blackout button (adjacent to the Grand Master fader?). It could effective set the Grand Master to 0%, and avoid the situation where a Blackout cue fails because it applies only to...

Any chance that faders in Show Control could have an "inhibitive or LTP setting" to override their HTP nature?

It would also be very useful to allow mapping a channel other a dimmer to a fader for simular devices (IOTW Groups).

Vertical fader orientation would be nice too.

Using D-PRO 1.4.2.

Would it be possible to display devices on the Device Browser Grid tab using their assigned beam color? Right now it's always white even when a beam color has been assigned.

However, the "Beam properties" window (with power/direction/degrees) is only intended for visualising fixed lighting (parcans, pinspots etc). See the second image down in this topic . Moving head devices always independently display their own "moving" beam. This cannot be config...

D-PRO 1.4.2 2U I have an issue with the display of moving head lights i the device browser. When show physical beams is enables in preferences, I get two beams displayed for the moving heads; one for the direction set in configure beams and the one derived from pan/tilt. It would probably help if th...

Here are a couple of things that could be helpful: 1. Defaults when creating show control buttons from cues. It would be nice to have have a default or at least have the system remember the last button that was created with all of the elements of the button except the name- trigger, fade-in, fade-o...

When I got to channel 84... Boom! Same problem. I do not know how to work around this one. I guess I could re-create the channel and its ranges manually... After further attempts, the problems always returns after 84 channels. There is no editing action that I can perform after 84 channels that wil...

Alright. Thanks Dave. Will try again later this evening. Ok. Here's a follow-up. After checking my connection speed (okay), the problems remains. So I back tracked to the point in time where the problem started. I was duplicating a block of 37 channels in a fixture definition (Resolume Arena 4 in m...
