Virtual dimmer for LED's

Patch each pixel as a Generic > RGB - so 10 desk channels.

Then just treat them the same as anything else and have fun with Effects!

- To build your own templates that do this, tick the "Fade With Intensity" option for each of the additive colour mixing parameters (Red, Green, Blue etc) and ensure their Home and Highlight are at "maximum intensity" (usually 255).

The console will then automatically master them with the 'virtual' dimmer.

Yes, I found Fade with intensity. Thanks

But... Smooth effect not working, becouse I haven't intensity for device in template

Sorry, I've just rechecked and yes, this is a bug.

Couple of workarounds:

• Patch the channels to dimmers on DMX addresses you aren't using anywhere (eg using Channels List or Dimmer Patch Wizard)
• Use Content Effects instead of Dynamics to create your effect.

I'll make sure this is added to the bugtracker.

Thank You, I look forward for next version.

P.S. If there was an empty parameter intensity (without DMX address) the problem could be solved by inserting it into the template.

Hi,

When We can find new relese with corects?

Hi Richard,

Old trend indeed, but still open case in Cobalt 8.1, isn't it ? I have 360 cells RGBW and facing the same problem using the intensity dynamic effects. Could you be more precise about your advise "Patch the channels to dimmers on DMX addresses you aren't using anywhere".

Because if I understand well, adding a fifth parameter in the template will not work, as the led strip understand the fifth address as the Red on second cell. How do you set the template?

Best regards
