Possible bug !? Only occurs in the new version of dl5

Post by Silentbob0807 »

Guys, channels that use macros or half colors won’t work - ssl2 behave normal in DL4 and the older versions of 5.0 - problem description: If I try to use half color presets (eg adj focus spot 3z - or the rgb rings from a “football” fixture ) the presets could not be activated and return value 0. Also it is not possible to change the depending channel fader to the desired value . I will post a video of this topic soon, maybe other users have faced the same problem!?

Hello,

I've just looked into the Focus Spot 3z and can't see any errors at all, nor can I see any issue with split colour profile fixtures. Perhaps you could provide a more specific example i.e. a specific channel of a specific mode of a specific profile that you are seeing the issue on, or even provide a .dvc project containing the error?

Kind regards,
Will

This link shows the problem. It occurs in Color Channels an in channels with rotation (color) - it appears also in fresh setups with different fixtures. This problem depends only to the newest version of DL5. On older DL version and also in DL 4 the ssl2 fixtures work flawless.

This shows the problem on a different channel. In the range of the color wheel rotation the output is shown. All other values in the depending channel are stuck an no output is generated

Hello,

Thanks for sending those videos over, I have just fixed the issue with the Focus Spot 3Z fixture and attached the new .ssl2 file to this response. The problem was actually with the fixture profile which should have not worked well in previous versions, however a change in the latest version of Daslight 5 fixed this- which inadvertently made the profile issue more obvious when actually using it. This file should work much better.

Regarding the second fixture, I actually was not able to locate this .ssl2 file in our fixture library- could you possibly zip up the .ssl2 file and then attach it to this ticket so that I can check it out for any adjustments that need to be made?

Kind regards,
Will
