Issue Getting Light Beam to Show in Augment3d

that's what the Vello XP-600 Wash looks like for me

I think you didn't update the fixture personality: go to Patch>Fixture, with the arrow keys navigate to the vello, click the softkey Update Profile, read (and understand ;) ) the warning, and press OK.

Thanks so much for the reply.  It has been a long time since updating the fixtures.  Ill try this tmrw.

Many thanks again!

usually you get away with not updating the fixtures, as long as you don't update the firmware of the fixtures themselves or run into a bug in the fixture profile. but for Augment3d the profiles were modified to make them work correctly that's why you suddenly realize that you haven't updated for years.

Hi,

I updated the fixture, however, now when I turn on the vellos at full intensity the cycle through turning on and off.  For example it goes to full intensity then dims to out.  Then it comes on again at full intensity and then out again.

Any idea what went wrong?

Thanks for the help.

Sorry, figured it out.  After the fixture update, it set shutter strobe on the lights to 0 and so i had to go switch that to open instead and now it seems to work fine.  Also, they show up in augment3d now.  Many thanks for the help!

Sorry, not entirely fixed :(  Seems default for the vellos is shutter strobe instead of open.  Any idea how I can fix that?

To expand on my problem:  It seems like my Vello lights now default to shutter strobe 0.0.  I'd like them to default to shutter strobe open if possible

For some reason the fixture update made this change and it's affected my cue lists.  I know that was the warning they gave and understand it may not be able to be fixed, but if it can, that would be great :)

Try this: save the showfile. Then: Blind, Cue Home Thru Enter (selects all cues), Chan 1 Enter (or whatever channel number you're using). And now simply tab the Shutter Open button in ML controls or wherever you you found it before.

This will set the selected channel(s) to Shutter Open in all those cues. If you have cues in your show where those lights actually had a strobing strobe, you will have to exclude those cues from the cue range mentioned above.
