It's worked before with no problem at all being on the mac. Bootcamp is pretty much just dual booting windows instead of mac. It runs like any Windows laptop but just...on a mac. Fusion does pretty much the same as bootcamp but runs it as a virtual machine while you run mac at the same time.
The low down I spose is that previous versions of DVC 2 aren't detecting the USB box but it's picking it up in device manager. The current version of DVC picks it up fine...just doesn't like my keyboard even though it lets me enter the shortcuts just doesn't let me activate them.
Verrrry strange.
Andre, I had a look at Just Floyds website and you run an awful lot of gear. Do you have a special way of programming all that (assuming you program you shutters/dimmers, colours and positions seperatly) or do you just have a massive screen to fit everything on?
Thanks
Hope you don't think I was being funny saying it's not supported on the MAC as I was not, just saying it so others can see that it is not supported, even if it is a dual boot machine and getting help will be very difficult.
Have you got the latest drivers installed and latest firmware on the interface.
Well at the moment I have 349 scenes in 30 groups.
I have all the colours and gobos I use as seperaste scenes for each type of fixture. Scenes for different positions for movers. Targetted positions as scenes for movers and fixed lights (ie they are named by the person in the band they are aimed at). Set piece scenes, i.e. Searchlights for the beginning of "Another Brick In The Wall" and the blinding of the audience with all lights in white in "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", things like that. Most of it I do on the fly, I do not use Sound 2 Light at all.
I am always coming up with more and more pre-programmed set pieces that I also interact with to add other effects as and when needed.
I use a Sony Vaio that has a 17inch screen with a resolution of 1920x1200 but I still have to scroll the scene buttons left or right because we can't re-arrange the groups on the live page.
I have just started to use the Virtual Screen and will be running that on a 2nd monitor. That will have the most used scenes on it for easier triggering as I can colour code the background and text or even put a picture on the button. Make the buttons whatever size I like and position them where I like. It's a nice new(ish) feature that I have just worked out how to use.
See this post for more info.
I wish you luck in resolving your issue. If you do resolve it could you make a post saying what you did so others in the same situation can also get theirs fixed.
