bob_moody Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) Wow... it has been a long time since I have been to the forum ... Greetings to ALL !!! We added a suspended wreath to the display this year. It is not part of the animation or musical sequences however I would like to simply turn it on at the beginning of the show and leave it on until the end of the show. Would a simple 1 LOR channel sequence 1 minute of ON long placed in the BACKGROUND section of the Show editor do the trick? What I really didn't want is it to turn off and then back on with each restart in the background. Like I said .. it's been awhile ... Thanks for looking .. and the help Bob Moody Edited December 6, 2019 by bob_moody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 That's the general idea. A couple things to remember. First is make sure that channel is NOT in any of your other sequences - and I don't mean, not used, I mean not present. Second, there seems to be issues with a channel that is 100% absolutely all the time. Set the first (or first couple) grids in the sequence at 99% and then the rest at 100%. You will never see 99 vs 100% on the lights, but it will cause the show player to send a lighting command periodically. And welcome back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_moody Posted December 6, 2019 Author Share Posted December 6, 2019 Thanks Jim !!! I would have bet a box of lights that you would be the one to answer first .. LOL .. We missed last year because of the weather... 70+ inches of rain from Sept to March !! .. YIKES ... So we are back ... Seems after setting up for 2 years .. almost EVERYTHING needed to be rebuilt, reworked or repaired .. 😞 .. Thanks again for the tip .. I'll make the update ..

PhilMassey Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 My sign runs in the BG. It goes off for a fraction of a second between sequences. Doesn't bother me, in fact it makes a good marker when I'm editing video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebrown1972 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 My background sequence never turns off not even for a fraction. Not sure why some would and not others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilMassey Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Possibly because I am using Miip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Mine don't blink between sequences either - and am using MIIP. I have no delay set between song if that's a factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
