New user to Titan Mobile - probably a silly question
Posted: 11 Feb 2014, 22:48
Hi,
I am a bit of a newby and up till now haver only used rather basic DMX desks.
My lovely Titan Mobile arrived today and I have been having fun playing with it but I seem to be having a problem getting it to control my lights.
I downloaded the latest software and connected it up to my laptop using one USB cable. The Titan Mobile is lighting us well and seems to be connecting up OK to the laptop. When I press things on the laptop things change on the desk.. Great!
I have connected an ADJ Megarpar profile panel light.. I thought I would start with something simple. set the DMX channel to 001. Patched the light into programme and it looks like I can change colours in the attributes workspace.. I can do this one the computer or on the console but I get nothing on my light.
I am using a 5 pin to 3 pin converter. Something must be going to the light as the display flashes when the computer is turned off but stops flashing when I turn the computer on so I would assume that something is going down the wire..
I have gone into the system and looked at the DMX lines and line one is assigned to output A.. so that should be OK...
So the question.. am I forgetting to do something basic??
As you can tell by the language I am using.. I am pretty new to all this and any help/advice would be most welcomed.. The desk looks great and I can't wait to start experimenting with it.
Thanks
Chris
