Colorstrip emitting a constant white beam of light [fixed]

Post by grimescosl »

I have four Chauvet Colorstrips and whenever I view them in the 3dview they will be emitting a constant white beam of light, even if all the channels for them are disabled. I was wondering how I would be able to fix this? Thanks in advance!

The reason is, when the channel "color" is declared, any level (color) name*, which is not know by 3DView, is shown in white color.
Please replace "Channel = color" by "Channel = color_macro", and it will work as expected.

* the special name "closed" forces to switch off the beam
