Robert Burton Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 *I Think* you use to lose twinkle and shimmer in the LOR effects if you run it in DMX. Is this still the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 As far as I know, you never did, but the computer had to process the effects and send individual level commands rather than just telling the controller to create the effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmienLightFan Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 When in DMX the computer tells the controller to turn the channel on and off every time in a shimmer or a twinkle. With normal LOR controllers the computer just says "Start twinkle/shimmer and finish it at this time" This is because DMX doesn't support different commands and most DMX devices wouldn't know what to do. You won't notice any difference unless you have thousands of channels.m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Burton Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 Very cool. Just having problems in keeping up with all of the Universes I am adding and then with all of the LOR channels as well.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanward Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Shimmer is an LOR command, that is not interpreted through DMX. So yes, if you convert your network from LOR to DMX, you will not have shimmer anymore. I tried it and went back to LOR just because of this (I use shimmer enough to go back).

EmmienLightFan Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 That is wrong. You should still have an effect that looks the same. That is wrong. You should still have an effect that looks the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
