Tiger Touch And Catalyst

Postby koper » 01 Aug 2011, 13:02

Welcome
I have a problem with the position and scale.
setting position in the catalyst are three decimal places (eg, 20,000) but the console has only 2 decimal places (eg 20.00%), which results from the file moves 2 or 3 pixels instead of 1 pixel.
scale the same.

This problem has occured to me before. With percentage at 2dp you can only achieve 10,000 values yet a 16bit attribute is 65535. The majority of the time this doesn't matter but for media servers it can.

I'm not sure if 3dp is possible but there are other solutions - essentially the range can be anything. So we could have 2dp with a range 0-1000 or a simple raw value 0-65535. The latter might be the best option. What do you think?

Ok. I've had a look at this and hopefully solved the problem.

I have changed gobo size, scale, xpos and ypos to single 16bit raw ranges. The power on/locate values for gobo size and scale will take you to 'actual size'.

I've also increased wheel resolutions elsewhere to try and ensure full range of controls. The only place you can't currently get absolute control is for the index & spin functions but it should be much better than it was.

This will hopefully be uploaded in the next few days. Let me know how you get on.
