Hello,
I’ve created a preset for white light on my 8-channel RGBW light. In Live panel I’ve created a button in order to achieve fade-in effect. When the button pressed the dimmer fades-in together with the white colour. But the strobe also fades in, even if it is not intended. When the strobe isn’t included than it is 100% (255). How can I keep the strobe on 0% during the fade-in/out?
Best Regards,
Flemming
Hi @Jellybeanz !
I think I understood part of your problem but could you detail with a screenshot or an export of your show please?
It is maybe also the same problem here : Strobe Fader mistake in livemode
Hi Cclleemm,
I guess my problem is exactly as in the thread that you refer to. When I activate the Live mode, the shutter is changed to 255 (100%), even if all the other values are 0. The preset that I activate has the shutter value 0. But when the preset is activated in the Live mode, the shutter gets 255 as default. As I don’t have a fader for the shutter in my Live Dashboard, I don’t have the possibility of changing the shutter to 0 manually. Is there any solution for this phenomena?
Okay I understand well, this is the same bug, we have to fix it !
We have to found how to fix it and we will publish a new photon release. I will keep you in touch when it will be ready. Unfortunately for the moment you have to find an alternative way.
Thank you for your feedback
OK, thank you very much
Still a problem. This bug has not been fixed and I’m seeing the same thing in Live Mode.
Same here than the other topic
The shutter property on fixture builder has three attributes
One closed (optionnal, when value is 0% no light output)
One range
And one open (100% is full open)
If the lamp strobe from 2 to 255 and still fixed at 1
Set shutter property with range from 2 to 255 and open at 1
I am still having this issue over a year after the bug was reported. Is there any update on a fix?
Hello
I don’t have bug with this
I think the fixture is broken, can you tell us which fixture is (if it is in the database)
The open shuttter property have to be set on device at 1
If no open property, it takes the max level of the channel
I’m not sure if they’re in the database or not, DMX addressing doesn’t scare me so I’ve always just added the fixtures manually. I know it’s a software problem because I have had the same exact fixture setup for 3 years and this never used to be a problem. The last 2 years everything worked great! But I updated photon and this started happening. When I click into live mode it turns all the lights off, but all of the strobes on all of my fixtures (3 different fixtures) go to max. So when I fade the lights back on from being turned off, they’re all strobing
Hi
Can you share me the phos file of project please ?
Hey, I have the same problem. Is there a way to fix this please?
The fixture I am using is a self-built fixture, as it wasn’t in the database. Maybe the problem lies here?
The fixture I am using is EUROLITE LED BAR-12 QCL RGBW 6ch mode.
This is the info from the Device Fixture Creator:
R 01
G 02
B 03
W 04
Dim 05
Strobe 06 - value 0-255
Closed 06 - value 00
Open 06 - value 255
It all works perfectly in the programmer, but as soon as I go Live, and I put the Master dimmer of the fixture up, it starts to flicker, and I can see the Shutter is open in the Programmer.
Was this ever fixed? I Have the same problem.
Can you send to @djgreg13 your phos (export) file it will help us to reproduce the issue.
Thanks !
I am running a Chauvet 4Bar and 2 spider lights for our band. I created about 20 lighting scenes using the “only save changes” to create the presets. Then I put them into a random sequence with fades. I did the same with movements for the spider lights, “saving only changes” for the movements themselves. I would set all the lights to full bright and then start the sequences in live, inevitably, the 4 bar would revert to about 50% brightness and blink off and on and the spider lights would flip into strobe mode and it would never come out unless I stopped the sequences and then restart it. Since I knew the problem was strobe related, I went back into each of my color scenes and included the brightness and strobe fader into the preset and its been fine ever since.
Not sure why it would randomly include strobe though since none of the presets ever changed the strobe fader, so I think it may still warrant some looking into. I’ll export and upload my show later.
