Hi there,
Very new to DPro. Also relatively new to lighting in general - I'm a theatre maker, not a lighting designer or technician, so I apologise if this is a simple question.
Can someone tell me what is going on here? As you can see from the screenshots, even though I have no palettes or cues activated, my Robin 600 Wash are outputting DMX. When I switch to "monitor live output" they are all off in the physical tab. Also they are misbehaving when I try to program them - I can't change their colour for example - they keep flicking back to white. Is there maybe something wrong with the fixture I've chosen?
Thanks for any help.
Robin

Re: DMX output with no live parameters
The fixture profile can contain a default value for each channel. This default value is transmitted to DMX output, even when no cues or cuelists are running. In this case, I would guess that Pan & Tilt defaults are 50%.

Re: DMX output with no live parameters
Thanks, Dave. I fixed it by importing different fixtures in the end.
