zparsons Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 I am having a hard time grasping the simple concept of the strobe channels. Why is there a strobe on time and a strobe off time? If the strobe n on time is set at 0 isn't that the same thing as the strobe n off time being set at something other than zero? Can anyone post a demo sequence of how the strobe channels work?
Don Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 From the docs:The “Strobe n on time” channels select the amount of time the flood head is turned on while strobing. This on time varies from 8.33ms to 83.3ms. Higher intensities result in a longer flash.The “Strobe n off time” channels select the amount of time the flood head is off while strobing. This off time varies from 2 seconds to 8.33ms. Higher intensities result in a faster flash.Thus the two channels control how long the strobe will be "on" and "off". This allows for the "on" or "off" to be longer/shorter than the other setting.
zparsons Posted November 28, 2012 Author Posted November 28, 2012 So can't the same thing be done by just turning the rgb channel on and off?
Don Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 So can't the same thing be done by just turning the rgb channel on and off?It can, yes.I think once you start to test the feature, you will see that adjusting those two channels is going to be much easier.
Denise Nelson Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) From the docs:Don: I have several questions regarding the CCF and so far the one topic I wrote in has not given me any hope. You seem to know about the CCF, so please see if you can help me with my questions.40 posts0 warning pointsLOR Software Version:3.8.0Posted 18 November 2012 - 05:02 PMWe have two of the Cosmic Color Floods that we purchased earlier this year. I need to know exactly how to program them into our show. We have the 1602MP3 controller plus 9 - 1600W controllers. We have the Advanced license with SuperStar and the most current v. 3.8.0. I use the Simple Show Builder.I have them placed in the Visualizer as "flood" lights and configured as follows:Level: 1(background)Channel Type: NormalAssigned Channel > Device LOR > Net/Iniv: RegularI have given both unit numbers via the Hardware program. I need to know how do you program it into the LOR Sequence Editor (Advanced) program in the sequences that we have already created. These 2 new CCF units will be daisy chained with the regular controllers. I need to know how do we program the CCF in the sequence so we can get use of all of the RGB color range. Each CCF will have 2 floods. What I understand from the user manual is that each one has only 10 channels, 1,2,3 are RGB 4, 5 on/off strobe; 6, 7, 8 are RBG. So how do I write it in the sequences? please help me before they take me away in a straight jacket... Your help will be greatly appreciated!!
