The simplest way to read DMX and also to send diagnostic values (or commands) is a DMX testing device like the DMX Cat, Chauvet RDM2Go, or Swisson. They incorporate the ability to read the DMX timing to various extents as well as values being sent. The DMXCat also has a flicker diagnostic...

We're kinda blindly playing darts here. The real solution is to begin eliminating individual components one at a time. Yes, probably worthwhile first to add a terminator if there isn't one and make sure you've reset everything on the console, but if that doesn't solve gotta do the...

Given the fixtures work fine with the other console, we can likely rule out a fixture mode issue. While the 1624 allows for proportional patching, it doesn't seem to allow for any other dimmer modes so if you've reset the patch to 1:1 and this continues to occur on those faders then it is...

Making this an effect if simply fading values over a long time seems to me to introduce an additional level of complexity in dealing with the data for this. Or duplicative data. For example if the cyc levels are fading completely out or to some transitional look that continues into the...

How far away are the fixtures going to be mounted from the curtain? Are you planning on lighting from top, bottom, or both? Are you front lighting or backlighting the curtain and if backlit is there a bounce?

Define "couldn't help"? Also, what fixture is this for?

Generally, yes if you understand how moving light parameters work at a fundamental level. Again, if you run into issues this is something ETC Technical Support can assist with.

ETC Video on Editing Profiles Focused on editing profiles in V3.2, but the process is pretty much the same except use the plus button at the bottom of the Edit Fixture List to add a new fixture type, and then edit the parameters on the right Parameter List. If you are using a version of EOS...

Let me know if I'm getting this correct- you have a single cue list that you've recorded a base scene look, and then you recorded a cyc change look that should take x number of minutes. In the meantime, you've started recording subsequent interior changes; say for actors moving around the...

You've got a few issues here it seems.1. EOS Version- This must match for them to connect. ETC has all the necessary software downloads. When you hit ABOUT on the console and in Nomad it will show you the version. You either need to downgrade the higher version unit, or upgrade the lower...

Chauvet (and other manufacturers who sell these types of fixtures) offers various lengths of IP interconnect cable for power and data as well as adapters from standard power and data connections into and out of the IP variants. Most of the time you won't just find them listed for sale though-...

You're using an incorrect power draw for the VL2600- the one you listed is the source wattage and not the actual draw that account for the electronics and motors driving the fixtures. The full draw is 830W.

While not part of their Enhanced Definition Lens Tube lineup, technically the 70, 90, and 14 degree lens tubes are inherently enhanced so they should provide better quality than standard lens tubes. The issue here is that at that throw distance you're going to be projecting a huge image- about...

Gonna ask the dumb questions first: is the Grand Master on the bottom right up at 100 and is the DMX/Data output line plugged into the correct port? How have you attempted to bring up lights- faders only or manual keypad entry and by channel or dimmer number?

It depends on three factors: 1. the fixture itself and its propensity (or lack thereof) to fail 2. how well the fixtures have been previously maintained 3. your ability to continue maintenance or have them maintained by a shopUsed MLs can end up being a great value if you get the right deal...
