avo personality for Pixel Line

[nervous_ned]

Hi...I ran into some Avo personel at Glastonbury this year and they helped me out immensley with a personality issue I found with some Pixel Line 1044 battens. I use these as cyc lights and they work great, but I had lots of weird problems running them in LTP...so these Avo dudes wrote a custom personality that allowed my to run the battens in HTP and I had a great tour. Problem is I did not copy the personalities to a disk and I can't remember the programmer's name that helped me. I'm just trying to light my cyc, nothing fancy!

Can anyone out there help me?

Cheers!

It's quite easy to write or modify personalities. The manual gives instructions.

You could either take the appropriate personality from the database and change the RGB channels to HTP or create a completely new one.

Assuming you just want to have the whole batten work as a single RGB unit (and not cells) for cyc, then easiest option is to use Max2 mode where channel 7 is master and 8,9,10 are RGB respectively.

Example of DMX table with RGB changed to HTP:

Code: Select all

10  1   H   1  100  1N  T  1  "AllRed"   255   0    0
10 61   H   2  100  1N  U  1  "AllGreen" 255   0    0
9  61   H   3  100  1N  V  1  "AllBlue"  255   0    0
2   1   L   4  100  1N  0  1  "Chase1"    0    0    0
2  61   L   5  100  1N  0  1  "Speed1"    0    0    0
3   1   L   6  100  1N  0  1  "Slope1"    0    0    0
4   1   L   7  100  1N  0  1  "Chase2"    0    0    0
4  61   L   8  100  1N  0  1  "Speed2"    0    0    0
5   1   L   9  100  1N  0  1  "Slope2"    0    0    0
1   1   H  10  100  1N  H  1  "Master"   255  255  255
