Current DMX values not showing
So while running a show and I have multiple scenes running I would like to be able to see what the current DMX values are of a certain patched fixture or fixture group in the Live Edit tab at the bottom of the screen. Currently the only way to see for example what the fan speed and Smoke output of my hazer are is to either go to tools and dmx levels which is not very easy to do during a show or to select the hazer and edit the current scene that has information sent to that fixture(hazer) it would be nice to see the current levels shown in the greyed out faders in the live edit tab of any of the fixtures that are selected either singular fixtures or group fixtures that are all sharing the current dmx value on that channel and maybe a question mark or red dot above fader or darker grey or black fader where the same type fixtures have multiple or different dmx values kinda like the question mark below the fader in daslight 4. A good reason for this is lets say I have a scene that accidentally has fan and smoke values of my hazer saved in it that shouldn't when any scene(s) are currently running that has fan or smoke values sent to the hazer I would like to know. Am I missing somewhere in the live edit tab that shows the current dmx values of a selected fixture?
Re: Current DMX values not showing
Hello,
Thanks for raising this topic! From what I understand- I believe this should be possible already by simply selecting the fixture, then viewing the Features/Faders tabs in the bottom right.
- You should be able to quickly see whether any channel has a value being used by the yellow or green dot that can be seen next to the relevant Feature tab (i.e. Dimmer, Colour, Position, Gobo, ... Other)- or simply go to the Fader view to see all channels of the fixture. When in Live mode, you will see a yellow dot to indicate any Live edit currently active. If you want to check for a stored edit without affecting the current playing scenes, you can use the Blind Edit mode- then check for any green dots on the relevant Feature tabs, or the Fader screen.
Hope this helps- please let me know if I have misunderstood at all!
Kind regards,
Will
