Schieberpaketsteuerung

ähm, das aktuelle Verhalten ist, dass wenn man einen schrägen Schieber rausfährt, dieser Schieber irgendwann "ansteht". Das liegt daran, dass das Pult nicht den Winkel ändern soll, wenn ich den Thrust-Encoder drehe, denn dafür ist ja der Angle-Encoder zuständig.
Ist es dieses Verhalten, das ihr seht und das euch stört oder seht ihr etwas anderes?

Kann ich denn auf eine Änderung zu meinen Problem hoffen?
Die Sache ist mir wirklich wichtig, und ist nicht nur so ein kleines Manko.

Translation:

"If my Problem can't be solved in the near future, is there a possibilty to Change the template fixture so that each Motor in the shutter assembly can be controlled from the Encoders 0-100% without any Connection to each other?

This solution would help me out alot to work more quickly. This would only be a Workaround to the real Problem though."

Translation of the above comment :

"Changing the device template does not work that way – that’s common sense.

The encoders have no function anymore. They can only "thrust" or "angle" in the EOS program.

So it does not work anymore. In fact, there are 2 motors per slide, both can 0 to 100%, so you build a function such.

"Angle" with, you automatically have a "smart" control, where both motors change the angle.

But I have already described the problem often enough.

Helpful would be be a statement: either: We change, or it stays the way it is."

Thanks for the answer. I really like that idea.

big thanks for solving my problem.

Hi Anne,

are there any news about when the "overdrive" function for shutter controls will be implemented? We have the problem with Eos 2.7 and also still in Eos v2.8 that when the angle motor not at 0 is and we try to pull out the shutter blades they get stuck/limited how far they can pullout, and we can only home the blades to get them completely out or bring the angle blade to home or 0. Ideally, we would prefer if it were possible to have an option that we can control each motor/blade individually independent of the other - ie. Thrust and Angle, and then if we don't use this option, an Overdrive function would be nice.

Is there any info when changes/improvements will come here? Or is there a better workaround now?

Thank-you,

Robert

My experience is that any 'smart' shutter-control (thrust and angle, each affecting both shutter motors and emulating the individual control-values) is perfect for about 90% of the situations; but there comes the day and opportunity where you'd love to control each shutter-motor individually. Other consoles realize that issue with a separate mode: you just switch, get rid of the smart-control and have motor a&b on individual encoders (instead of thrust and angle). This is a feature I really miss at EON-consoles - and it would be very helpful to have it asap!

The 'overdrive'-function would be also very helpful, avoiding the blade getting stuck if on of the motors reach 0%; of course the blade should continue moving out though it can not keep the angle any more...

Best regards
