Preview and DMX Output window error
Posted: Fri Aug 09, 2013 7:50 pm
Last night I had an issue with Madrix on an architectural installation.
I had chosen a solid colour (255,100,0) over a 5 universe installation. The preview window confirmed my parameters. However, the resulting show had errors in universes 1 and 3.
Further trouble shooting showed that what Madrix was outputting was not what was seen in preview windows.
In the DMX watcher window, universe 1 was outputting (0,255,255,100,0,255,100,0...) The first two channels were out of sync and the rest followed afterwards. This was consistent with the actual light output.
As well, in the DMX watcher window, universe 3 was outputting (0,0,0,0,0...). This was consistent with the actual light output as well.
I would like to discuss this issue further as we are currently using several similar Madrix installations on remote sites as part of this project.
