Eos 2.7 Multicell Issues

Hello,

I am patching a Chauvet Colorsource Pix M in 42-channel mode with the new multicell features. The regular 42-channel patch setting works as expected, but the multicell version does not seem to work. I can only get the fixture to tilt. Nothing will turn on even when all cells and the parent intensities are full. I know the connection isn't faulty as the tilt parameter works as expected in multicell mode. Any thoughts?

Thanks for any help.

are you sure that the cell intensities are at full? my guess is that the cell intensities' home values are wrong. they should be at full, but are at 0. so: Chan 1 [.] [Full] [Full], Chan 1 [.] {Intens} [Record] [Preset] x [Enter] (where x is your home preset)

better?

Even with every cell's intensity at full, no light is emitted. But I think it has something to do with the cells themselves, because all the parent channel functions work as expected, like tilt, and strobe.

Hm, I compared the sACN output of the MC and non-MC version and they seemed to be identical. Maybe the new output tab of tab 37 can help you figure out what's happening?

Alright, I figured it out. My problem had nothing to do with the fixtures or the config of the channels. I am using a Nomad with a 512 key and I previously output on Universe 2 instead of 1, and from checking the sACN output, it appears that when using the multicell version, eos decides to not output apparently random dmx channels. Putting all the fixtures in Universe 1 fixed everything. Maybe this is a bug?
