Hello,
Last year I was programming my VL3500s with the ION, this year I have upgraded to the GIO- I have very specific and delicate focus palettes (lining a square box decoration on the wall that needs to be sharp and not bleed outside of the box at all.) I find that occasionally, especially after I execute an effect such as a ballyhoo, when returning to the focus palette recorded in the main cue- the focus palette will now be slightly off from where it was originally programmed. It will usually be the same amount off, about two inches off to the right side outside of the box. I will pan the light back over and update both the cue and the palette. But the next time I go to the cue, it will return to the two inches off focus. I have tried making all the information for the light absolute before updating, or even rerecording the palette, but it doesn't seem to matter how I try to reenter the information. After overcompensating, I got it to correct itself for about a month, until I had to do another effect swinging the movers across the space. Then my focus "chase" with the box palette begins again. I have noticed this occasionally with my other movers over time, that the focus palettes will be slightly off over a few months of time, but they are not so specific so it doesn't catch attention as obtrusively.
Any ideas on how to correct this or what is happening?
