Show Buddy & DMXIS Forums

Hello!

This still does not address the actual questions:

Is dpro EOL?

what is next, what should we be looking at?

thanks......Joe

Good Morning; Just wondering on general feelings about SBA vs D-Pro as well as other options out there like QLC or EMU? Tried EMU but so far the bugs have driven me away. After working with it for several hours and having it lose all my patches I was a bit too disheartened to start over with a blank...

Has there been a new release, beta or otherwise, since Oct of last year?
Are we still on 1.7?

Just checking in!

Joe

Hello Paul -- Until Dave or somebody more knowledgeable gets back to you here are my thoughts: 1. The midicon desk should work great as a controller, especially given the theater application you have. 2. What is the reason for using artnet vs straight DMX? It seems to me (with the caveat that I know...

Agreed. The ability to assign a range (min/max) to a sub fader would be very useful. Consider: A fixture has a single channel that uses the value of 0-10 for open, 11-200 for dimmer and 201-255 for strobe. It would be nice to be able to assign a button for ON and a submaster for dimmer and another o...

Hello; I have setup my library using groups and try and only program using them vs grabbing fixtures. There is a lot of setup involved and a lot of the screen used up this way, so anything I can do to streamline is useful. My main show has two separate front trusses, with groups of fixtures on it th...

Dave; I woke up this morning thinking about this and I do understand where you are coming from. Yes, having a bunch of fixtures moving their heads or gobo wheels all the time would be completely unusable. As I get deeper into fixture creation I can see that.obviously having the ability to selectivel...

Here is a short video on how I setup the gigbar 2 in D-Pro...

So if you turn a cue on then turn it back off it just leaves any non-dimmer/color channels on? -- that is not a desirable feature and not at all intuitive, people just expect ON= ON and OFf = go back to off, not just turn some off and leave others on. Why could the software could give us the option ...

Dave -- I agree that their idea of software switching is silly, but that still leaves the issue I have had unanswered: 1: Does d-pro not send default data for control channels, it seems to always send a 0? 2: what are the differences between the different channel types? I have another fixture (A gig...

Hello; Will doing the below have unintended consequences? I have a bunch of LED pars with RGBW channels - they are setup as a RGB channel with an additional white color channel. I then have several fixtures that use a color wheel (indexed) - these are setup as a fixed color channel. In a cue list if...

Nice....the stone looks great lit up.

OK...This is really causing problems. The color palette fixture by Chauvet (created by Dave) uses ch 1 to set its mode (how many DMX channels it uses). If you are not sending it a mode the fixture defaults to 0 which is 27 ch mode. If you have other fixtures sending DMX data out this will cause unex...

Thanks Dave and Stunmonkey...

This is a project for after the first of the year, too much to do before NYE already!

But I am looking forward to digging in to it...

Joe

Pretty cool... Do you mind a couple questions? What device are you running it on and how stable has it been for you? Are you using OSC or Midi? Wifi or cable? I messed with it a while back but never got it up and running right and then got distracted by other shiny things... Thanks for sharing -- Joe

Dang...I way over thought that.

Thanks for that -- I forgot that you can set faders to a button vs a physical slider.

Joe

It's coming up on 2 weeks -- can somebody take a look at this? I also opened a trouble ticket through the Enntec website and received a auto-response but nothing since then. The default issue is actually sorta critical -- if I am doing something wrong I apologize ahead of time, I have a really huge ...

Hello;

There seems to be a bug when you save a group using a group number - it says it updates it but does not.

Here is a video:

Thanks --

Joe

Great update....

If you get a chance to upload any video it would be cool to see it.

Joe

Hello; We have a pretty major NYE show coming up. I thought it might be useful (or at least interesting) to log all of the setup involved. The show is a private event which will have 34 feet of lighting truss, lasers and video. I will be showing in detail everything from cabling, trussing and softwa...

Dave ---

Have you had a chance to take a look at this?

What channels send the default -- should it just be the dimmer channel?
A lot of people use control channels in their fixture defs and if those do not reset to default it seems pretty strange.

Joe

Good morning; OK, thanks for the reply and suggestion. That will probably get me through, however, if you can tell me if I can do the below that would bel helpful. I have most of my sub masters on the first tab used for things like strobe control and dimming various groups of lights. So I have creat...

Hello; Is there a way to effectively use multiple tabs in show control where each tab maps out to the same controller? Meaning I have one midi controller (a lanuchpad mini) - it is a 9 x 9 matrix. I have set my grid up to be 9 x 9. But if I assign the keys to cues and cue lists then switch tabs, the...

It would be really nice to have some support on this before this weekends shows.

Bug or not?

If so, fix coming -- or can I do something else to make this work and not lock up?

Joe

Hello;

Did somebody mention using a DMX terminator as a possible solution?



Joe

Zoot -- that sounds like the correct way of doing it.

What is one of the fixtures and which channel are you trying to control - I will try and put a quick video together (if you have not figured it out already).

Joe

Dave; There appears to be a bug, or I am really not understanding what it is supposed to be doing. When manually stepping through a cue using a mapped next cue button it goes to the last cue then stops, it will not continue. Also, if you pause a running cue and step through a cue it does not trigger...

On the DMX output screen what you are looking for is if the expected channel is changing. Because it does not show actual DMX numbers being sent but just percentages it is not ideal. But if your fixture starts on channel 10 and had the first three channels as RGB say and then channel 4 as a master f...

I third this question!

--J

Just wondering if you got this working and what the problem turned out to be? From what I see everything looks right, I have a fixture that uses pan/tilt with fine setup the same way and it works. The only difference on mine is I have the default for both fine channels set to 0 -- but I can't imagin...
