Strobe Mode problems

[vixzy]

Hi!

When I add any kind of strobe/shutter function to my channel i get no output in MA3 3D unless i bring the channel up to at least 45%.

Judging by the channel list for the fixture i should have output when that channel is at 0 and different strobe modes after that.

How should I define the Strobe channel for it to work properly?

For the moment I cant get my hands on the fixture to see how it actually acts in real life. Its a led mover that one of our suppliers bought a bunch of a few years ago that we use from time to time

 

All tips are very appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Presumably you are adding Shutter instead of a Strobe, that's maybe why it's not working.

Posting a GDTF file here can increase a chance that someone will look at it and can help you.

Hi!

 

Fooling around a bit with the profile i got it working in MA3 3D by changing the first logical channels "Physical From/To" to 1 in both fields. But is this the right way of building the channel?

Hello @vixzy

i looked at your file. The important thing to realize is that shutter is a different physical behavior then strobe. Shutter can be open/closed (1/0), while strobe is strobing fast/slow (1/s), so for example 20 for fast, 0.3 for slow.

For this, define two channel functions, one for Shutter (Shutter1) one for Strobe (Shutter1Strobe):

And then adjust the Channel sets to match the speed of the strobing. See attached file where i split the shutter into two functions.

Kind regards

Petr
