Daslight Forum

Hi guys n gals. I'm having a slight problem with DVC2 program. I am programming 6 moving heads (Imotion 5S) in editor and everything is working fine. It runs through steps or generated scenes. However as soon as I go live, 4 of the heads stop responding to the program and it won't run through the steps. Two heads work fine on all settings but 4 don't. Any ideas as it's driving me nuts.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Beakerfm,

Very strange !!!
When you say it runs fine in the editor, are the lights actually connected and doing what they should ?

If you want you can send me you show file and I will have a look for you.

Yeah, the lights are all connected via DMX and are behaving. I can't get it to run in live mode.
Even when in editor, if I press the play button, it goes to first step and stops. I've tried looping, autorelease etc. Probably just missing a checkbox somewhere.
Would a video file showing you what happens help?
I'm there again tomorrow so I could video it and upload to my website for you to view.
Even generated scenes won't play live, so I can get static scenes on stage to work but not moving heads or chases.

Hi Beakerfm,

I don't think a video would help really. I need to see what your show is.

When in the editor, the play button will only play the selected scene it ignores jumps.

I'll get the show file for you on Tuesday. Do I send it via your email link on your posts?

I know it's something I'm doing or not as that is usually the way. Bloomin user error.
Thanks

Hi,

I have received the file and have looked at it.
A couple of the fictures was in a mode that I do not know what it was.
They were not in Auto, HTP, LTP, Input or MIDI.
I have chaned them to auto.
Also I do not use "BPM on scene" so I could not test it properly. I only use the "Time" option.

Anyway I havre replied to you e-mail with the changed file.

I hope it has sorted out the problem.

Well that sorted it out straight away and I think I have seen what I was doing wrong as well. You are a genius. All the lights are responding always now and I can at last do the programs I want. Thank you so much. I owe you big time.

Hi Beakerfm,

No problem, I was glad I could help and was able to spot the cause.

Good luck with the programming and if you need any help pop a post up on the forum and we should be able help.
