Moving fixtures - No control.
Moving fixtures - No control.
I've been using DVC2 on windows 7 recently and my moving heads (MAC 2Ks) pan/tilt motion doesn't work. It just resorts back to the 0pan 0tilt positions which leaves the beams shining to the ceiling. When I try to move them the faders fight back and it returns to the same position.
I changed their modes to Auto but the pan/tilt channels automatically go back to LTP.
This happens with the real lights and in the 3D viewer.
This didn't happen on my older pc running XP.
This happens with all moving heads and scanners in the 3D view aswell.
Any help on solving this?
Thanks

have you tried checking if you have an effects button that is putting the pasn and tilt into LTP mode.
or are you using midi in. it might be worth disabling midi in and dmx in in the options ribbon at the top of the screen.
as for the led's some of the earlier leds do flicker at low brightness settings. this is the led and not the program unfortunately.
have you checked the moving slider in thegroup tab window to see if the slider is jumping or not moving smoothly.

It's not only LED Pars it happens with my MACs too... but only one fixture in the group. Getting same result in visualiser as well as on the real fixture.
No effects button but I will try disabling midi in and dmx in.
Will check sliders too.
edit: the pan/tilt sliders are constantly put into LTP mode. Not sure why.

Just as an exercise try opening a new instance of DVC create a patch for just one mac 250 head and see if you can get proper control.
this will tell you if the version of the software you have is corrupted, if so get Simon B to look at your show and he will send you the latest stable version of the software for your machine ie windows 7.

it seems there is definately something corrupting the patch, so I have one last suggestion. highlight all of universe 1, and paste it onto universe 2. now select the daslight interface and re address to be universe 2.
I had a similar problem in the past and moved universe and then it all worked fine. If this does not solve the problem then either the interface or your version of the software have a fault.
I do not upgrade the software when I have a good working platform. It may be worth asking Simon to send you and older version , or at least check your saved files.
good luck. I know how frustrating this can be.
