%100 seen brightness with dimmer on %0, only in Show Control window

Post by Adam Harzuf »

Hello,
I have two different model of moving lights that D-Pro seems to be handling oddly.
These lights need to have their Shutter (one model) or Strobo (other model)set to %100 as a precondition that the light with work.
1. From these values I create an "ON" pallet for the respective light.
2. I add up the Dimmer parameter and it's working fine, from %0-%100. I turn off the Shutter/Strobo and make sure that only "Dimmer" is displayed before I save the Pallet/Cue as "Dimmer".
3. Now I have two pallets, each with a single parameter. I close the programmer.
4. I open Show Control and assign the "ON" pallet to a button and the "Dimmer" control to a fader.
5. I press on.
6. I move the dimmer fader, it's working fine, except that on %0 I see %100 brightness from the lamp!
7. I have tried all combinations of "Override" for these assignments.

Help!

I would need a copy of your show file to diagnose that one.

However, you might find it easier to simply define a default value of 100% for the Shutter & Strobo channels in the fixture definition. That way, D-Pro will set those channels to 100% as soon as you open the show. You can then remove those channels completely from your programming.

The problem occurs when I'm changing the Dimmer value, therefore It's hard for me to believe that a change in the Shutter/Strobo channel defaults will resolve the issue.
Where should I send the file to?

Thanks
