DVC3 - a few problems

[marin-sound]

Hi , ad first I have to apologize for my english , it's very basic .
I'm using Win7 64bit and when I close my show , always comes problem with closing : error - Aplication internal crash, and DVC3 Gold device keep the PC mode . It's the first one . The second one is with BPM utility - why it isn't possible to use the BPM in strictly TAP mode ? Sometimes is it much better than the counter , espeially for lower tempo ... The third one - when I need to synchronize some not same fixtures for strobo effect , I do it like a scene with two steps of shutter or dimmer settings (depends on possibilities of fixtures) and when the scene plays , than comes a bit freezing , because it's already too fast for time counter ... The fourth one - same as in Live mode so in Editor mode too is not possible to set a keyboard shortcuts like ctrl+ or alt+ or shift+ or its combinations - than is impossible use a keyboards space and abilities . Also in Live mode is impossible to set the HE10 port / adress command - it's possible only in Editor mode . Ad sixth - I'm missing a possibility of manually controled GO command for scenes with more than one step . It's ability of some cheap DMX controlers like Scene Setter 24 or something like this one .

But still , over all the problems I like the DVC3 new look and possibilities like dimmer on scenes and Master dimmer . Its really big jump from DVC2 version .

With best regards Michal Dvorak

Hi

Thanks for your bug reports.

always comes problem with closing : error - Aplication internal crash, and DVC3 Gold device keep the PC mode

Which software version?

why it isn't possible to use the BPM in strictly TAP mode ?

I'm not sure why this doesn't work. I'm going to check with the developers

when I need to synchronize some not same fixtures for strobo effect , I do it like a scene with two steps of shutter or dimmer settings (depends on possibilities of fixtures) and when the scene plays , than comes a bit freezing , because it's already too fast for time counter

Where is it freezing, in the 3D, in real life, or in the DMX level display window?

is not possible to set a keyboard shortcuts like ctrl+ or alt+ or shift+ or its combinations

I see, we will look at getting this fixed soon

Also in Live mode is impossible to set the HE10 port / adress command - it's possible only in Editor mode

You need an interface connected to set this

I'm missing a possibility of manually controled GO command for scenes with more than one step

That's right, it's not possible. Create a group of scenes and use the groups 'Next' button

Thanks for your comments

-I use DVC3 rc1 on win7 64bit
-freezing by strobo efect in scene with two steps for some differential fixtures comes on 3D the same as in real and the same as in DMX level window
-HE 10 port/adress seting in live mode - everytime i have conected USB->DMX interface Gold version SUIDI8A

-I'm missing a possibility of manually controled GO command for scenes with more than one step -That's right, it's not possible. Create a group of scenes and use the groups 'Next' button - OK , but sometimes is for real effect a bit better let the scene play as the FX generator had this scene created and sometimes is better control it with manually steping command into the rhytm... pan/tilt also beam shape scenes for example . I understand , it need addition of next level in order of groups , but I thing it haven't to be nothing impossible ('m only guessing , I'm not programator )

My comments goes from and a minding about this software like about not expansive and very good working supliement for many lightning consoles which are more , more expansiver ..

Over every little problems I still like this one software due to his easy to use space and possibilities.

Hi

I still cannot find your first 2 errors with the closing error and the inconsistent DMX output. I will keep a look out for these. Your third bug with the port assignments will be corrected in the next release

We won't be added a go feature like this for now as it involves breaking into some of the core code , however we'll consider adding this in a future release

Today I've found the problem with some actualizations for win7 64bit , so I've re-covered all the system and some of optional actualizations have turned off and now is everything ALL RIGHT (about application crash)
