Show Cue System

Hi Mike There's no Make/Model as it's from China. It's a '6 Head Smart Beam Moving' The whole unit pans and the 6 individual RGBW LED heads tilt independently, hence the large number of channels required for full operation. There is a 17 channel reduced function mode. I tried to attach pictures of t...

SCS 11.8.2.1 (x64)

This is a mixture of bug report and wish list.

We've just purchased a new fixture that has 38 channels. SCS only supports 32. Any chance of an increase? I would assume fixtures will only increase in their functions as the technology changes.

Windows 10 Update now has the option to Pause Updates for a number of days.
The only slight drawback is, if you are involved in a long run, that once that time is up you have to run update before you can pause again.

Not wishing to over complicate this feature I can see a use for an option to display fixtures that have the dimmer channel set at 0 but have values >0 in other channels e.g. to review/check the pan/tilt/function have been set correctly in readiness for the dimmer channel to be turned up by a later c...

Yes, it can be confusing. I always think in terms of channels, and in the case of a fixed installation; a socket. This is probably from my early days of Strand Jumior 8 wire-wound dimmers! DMX when it came was, and really still is, just an address that's used internally to switch the correct logic. ...

I don't think that would help me. It would be fine - as is the current display - for DMX addresses greater than 72 as our fixtures start at Chan/DMX 73. Another advantage of the current display is that the whole universe is visible in a relatively small window which can be overlaid on the main panel...

Under View, would it be possible to have a 'channel' display as well as a DMX display. The majority of our fixtures are single channel Profiles or Fresnels. Our sockets are numbered 1 through 72 and are hardwired to 3 (3 phase) dimmer racks of 24 channels, but they are not wired 1 for 1. The sockets...

Thanks for the updated test code that fixes the problem.

I'll send a log file.

Thanks Mike
'Not enough space' error box pops up OK.

11.8.2
If, during 'Collect Production Files' the destination becomes full there is no indiction that your files are incomplete.
Assuming Windows returns a non-zero to the write could SCS pop-up a message box with the error?

Select 'Collect Production Files'
Browse for a location e.g. a USB Stick
When you click 'OK', focus is returned to the main Cue panel instead of the Collect Production Files panel

I need to Toggle a fixture on top of existing lighting. If I select 'Fade out time for others' I lose the existing lighting state.
'Fade time for the above' works fine when Toggling the fixture ON, but is not used when I Toggle the fixture OFF - it snaps.

A Toggle Hot Key currently uses the fade time when toggling On, but snaps when toggling Off. Would it be possible to use the fade time when toggling Off?

Mike, are you suggesting the best of both worlds? The fade times could either be set to unique values or $1 $2 to accept parameters from the 'Call Cue' cue? That sounds great.
