Denise Brunner Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 trying to find a way to display DMX yoke lights in the visualizer??? I don't think its possible ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamS Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I bet that would be difficult to do, especially the tracking. Colors are one thing but head movement is a whole other animal. That does bring forth one good question though. I would assume there is something in there to do this with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubado Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I believe your diagram is wrong. You need two #3's. One for the LOR network and another one for the DMX universe.I like the #7's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denise Brunner Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 I am not looking for the wiring of the DMX system since I have that up and running already. As I stated, I am looking for a way to show the DMX lights in the visualizer.Any ideas ???Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamS Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I understand what you were asking, I was only showing they have them in thier picture of the setup so they have to know a way to setup in visualizer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise Brunner Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 sorry, gotta. I have the LOR controlling all the DMX stuff, but just have no way of checking it in the visualizer.I thought you just didn't understand the question. It was just me not understanding your understanding. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOR Staff Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 The current version of the visualizer will do DMX lights. For the device type select 'DMX', and then specify the universe and address (that match the Sequence Editor).The visualizer will NOT however do 'moving' yokes (IE, spots or Gobo's that move across the stage). That's on the wishlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise Brunner Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Thanks Mike, but what will the visualizer show ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamS Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 If you setup the colors your trying and intensity it will show you those, but the XYZ cords will not show up, so that will be the fun part! Im using the Flood lamps as my props for pumpkins until I make the actual props. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamS Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I personally would like to see how it come out and how you track the light head. make it happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOR Staff Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 It will show as a stationary light (or whatever) in the place where you put it.I wouldn't wire the movement channels: The Vis will try to interpret them as colors and display them as such.

Denise Brunner Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 What I did for now is put one light up on the lighting truss (single bulb) and added like 6 more on the ground in areas that I would be moving the spot to. For now I will just have to imagine them moving about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamS Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Why not setup the prop, and add a single bulb to each side and top and bottom setup on the movement channels. Make the bulb white or a color that will show up with intensity that you can see. So as your moving it left the bulb on the left will intensify indicating how far you have it moved? Also does it auto center on no signal present on those channels or do you have to command it back to center? I think the setup in terms of the dots will help you at least see where its going and an idea of how far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Benedict Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I had to set up some moving yokes and mirrors in the same spots as I needed, then with the Utility program's console, move the DMX sliders until it hit the marks.Then wrote the actual DMX values down on paper.Later, I put them in the Sequence Editor as the actual DMX values to they could hit their marks again and used the Fill Tool to get there smoothly.Cumbersome, but worked.Used the LOR iDMX throughout.I suppose I could have done the same thing with the Enttec Software Utility that came with the Pro version. You can change individual DMX channels with it.Didn't try it tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
