fixture sort of request

Before toooo much trouble I would like to know if the attached fixture is able to be properly controlled by the EOS (ION for myself) family. I don't know if it's one of those types that the current EOS line does not support. There is a foot note advising consultation of the manual for full DMX profile details. I don't know if I can get that easily at this time but hoped what is included in the pdf will have enough info to determine it's compatibility.

The reason I am asking is I am interested in a demo before purchase but they say so far only the Avolite consoles have it in them. If I can't demo it with my ION then it's useless to have one shipped to me.

If it is possible and there is sufficient info can this fixture be added please so I can demo it and possibly make the purchases if it fits the bill.LightStream-Data-Sheet-4.14.pdf

Eos Family supports every type of DMX-controlled fixture.

The limitation in the current software is that an individual fixture can only have one active colour picker.
This fixture doesn't appear to have any direct colour mixing control, just virtual "colour wheels" and macros, so this isn't relevant to you.

I would recommend creating your own custom fixture profile for trying this fixture out, using the fixture editor that's built into the console.

Thank you Richard for the quick response. I see the fixture has been submitted so that's good at any rate. I have asked the supplier how long they will allow a demo since I'm sure it will take me some time building it. The fixture looks a bit complicated; kind of like it's 6 fixtures in one but not really. Or kind of like it's two fixtures in one, but not really. I was thinking that since there are 6 different rgbw fixtures that would create the problem with the colors. Kind of like a led panel or bar that has groups and EOS consoles can't handle that as of yet.

I found the full DMX map here: http://myelektralite.com/php/assets/Elektralite-Lightstream-DMX-Channel-Assignments.pdf The issue you described doesn't appear to be a problem in this case because the fixture doesn't give you proper RGB control over each of the six elements. There's one color channel per element that lets you select Off, Red, Green, Blue, White, or some sort of dynamic effect.

Hey thanks for this info. It's been hectic getting the current event together so apologize for delay. I won't be coming even close to a demo until the beginning of the year so by the time I do it may already have been added since it was requested. Thanks all for your help.
