Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I am using a backround sequence to control my radio sign. It is one minute long, has a single on event and it put into the show as a backround sequence. It doesent play during the show. Any thoughts on why?

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Couple of things to check:The background sequence should have only ONE channel in it. That channel would be the one with the radio sign. (lets say it is Unit 02. Circuit 16)...All of your other sequence should NOT have a channel with Unit 02. Circuit 16 defined.------------------If you have this set correctly then you may want to try upgrading to version 1.6.1 of the software. It has a few corrections in the show player including some issues with the background section. However I believe that the background section was playing it was just that it was blinking once per loop through the sequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It saves them from having to program the 'static' portion of their display into every musical sequence.Plus, when I added a tree in my back yard (I really should post pictures) I simply added it to one place (the background) instead of having to add it to all 12 sequences, plus all of my voice overs.

That's pretty annoying, especially if (like me) you use X-10 which can take a second or two to go off and back on. I also use a Kodak slide projector which would be terribly hard on it to keep turning off and on.-Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
