capture to Color Source 20 av

The defaults from new install of both should work together on the same PC.

In case some of the defaults have been lost:

In ColorSource AV offline editor:

Open Setup (cog) > Network tab:

• Network Output Protocol: Streaming ACN
• Network Universes: 1:1, 2:2, 3:3, 4:4, 5:5
• IP Address 127.0.0.1
• IP Subnet 255.0.0.0

Make sure something is patched and turned on so you have something to see in Capture.

In Capture 2023:

Tools > Options menu, Connectivity tab, scroll down to sACN section:

• IP Address: Automatic
• Enable universe discovery: Yes
• First universe: 1
• Last universe: 16 [default], or at least the highest universe patched in ColorSource AV offline

In Project > Universes tab:

• External Universe: "(auto)" [default].
  This should quickly switch to "(sACN Universe 1 thru 5)" once it detects an sACN source, such as the offline editor.
• Blind Levels: "Automatic" [default], or "Only".
  Capture calls sACN visualisation output "Blind levels"

It should end up looking similar to this:

Thank You Richard.  does this work the same in Capture Student edition? and if so MUST I first build a scaled set and place fixtures that are in the CS20 ShowFile OR is there a default viewer of sorts?  ( BTW the Capture Student EDition DOES show the Universe tabs and Network tabs as you illustraed 2 years ago but I cannot yet see a visualisation from CS20)
