I am designing lights for a small school and using their house rig.
Structure:
Computer running eos software 3.?
Ethernet connection to sACN node (pathport din) in rack
Dmx from node through distribution amplifier
Dmx distributed around ceiling
Additional ADJ Artnet node on ground connected to Ethernet providing data to fixtures on the ground
I hung everything and flashed using Chamsys everything was working.
Started to patch using eos software, my first issue, I cannot patch the same address in sACN universe 1 and Artnet universe 1. Error message stating address is already patched. The conflict shown is on a completely different interface. I can and did repatch the node to another universe but why would they not allow me to patch addresses on different interfaces?
Second issue, the school has Coemar iSpot 150 fixtures. On MagicQ no issues I locate the fixtures the shutter opens I clear the programmer the fixtures turn off. On Eos as soon as the fixtures are patched (and lamped on) they sit in home position with shutter open. The profile’s home position is shutter open. I messed with the fixture profile and haven’t gotten it to use shutter closed as the home state. Everytime I clear the programmer the iSpots default to shutter open.
Third issue, focus pallets, everytime I record a new fixture into a focus pallet it clears out any fixture that isn’t active in the programmer when I hit record. On MagicQ if I want to add a light to a focus pallet I set focus hit record and choose a focus pallet. Is there a way to make Eos behave like that.
I understand my life would be easier if I used the software I know better to program. The school has a student running the console and the producer who hired me wants me to use their Eos software to run the show.
Thanks for the help in advance,
Andrew
