4Bar Light Fixtures [fixed]

Post by musicman »

Is there a way to set up 3D Viewer to allow me to see all (8) of my light cans from the (2) 4Bar Light Fixtures.
It sure would make scene making easier if it was possible to see all light cans, currently it only shows (1) light can per fixture?

This can be done by adding 4 "dummy" fixtures per 4bar that are only used in 3D view.

I have mine setup with channels for dimmer, strobe and rgb. works like a charm!
The original channel outputs of the 4bar are patched (or splitted) to the dummy fixtures by using "DMX & Midi patch"

Lemme know if u need help, screens or futher explanation.

HCM5150 - ANY help would be greatly appreciated - I've had this controller (Chauvet Show Xpress) for over
a year and still unable to get into set-up...

:D HCM5150 - Thanks so much for this post. It DOES work like a charm. I imagine if we could find out what all the 'auto' progarms are we could add the 'mode' fader as well and program the 'autos' as macros? I'm I thinking right on this or is that just not possible?
Anyhow I'm taking this '4Bar fix' and gonna see if I can do the same thing with the COLORstrip.
Again thanks for this great work-around.
