Profile request: Astera AX1 4 pixel MC profile for RGB CCT DIM IND; error in RGB CCT DIM IND no strobe

Hello,

I see that a profile was recently added to library for Astera AX1 tubes in RGB CCT DIM IND mode with 16 pixels, can you please make a multi cell fixture in this mode with four pixels? I would use it as soon as it is available ;) Both strobe and non-strobe versions would be ideal.

Also, there is an error in the single fixture profile AX1 Pixeltube RGB CCT DIM IND S [6]. This should be the version without any strobe parameters; it currently includes them and they can't be deleted manually. (as of library 2.7.3.2)

Lastly, the Color Mix parameter in these profiles ("color index" in the astera manual) is a gel selection mode for values DMX 004 and higher. It would be great if the Eos profile showed what gels correspond to each value.

Thanks,

Hey Matthew!

Would you be able to provide a PDF copy of the manual for this fixture? Once we've got that, we can look into what changes can be made.

Thanks!

Hi Jake,

Here's a link to the current manual:
http://www.astera-led.com/Downloads/manual/AX1%20manual%20%28EN%29.pdf (edited to correct mistake)

There are a gajillion different profiles but the ones I am most interested in right now are:

24: RGB CCT DIM IND (PIXEL = 4; STROBE = OFF) - page 58
32: RGB CCT DIM IND S (PIXEL = 4; STROBE = SINGLE) - page 67
40: RGB CCT DIM IND S (PIXEL = 4; STROBE = MULTIPLE) - page 76

Apparently the proper name of the Color Mix parameter is "Lee Color Gel", not Color Index. The table for this parameter starts on page 157 of the manual. That sure looks like a chore to transcribe so if including that info will substantially delay putting out a four-cell profile, I can live without it.

FYI Astera also has a separate DMX Profile document on their website (dated October 10, 2017) but it is no longer correct.

just as a tiny info not specific to your request: ETC profiles don't always use the exact parameter name the manual asks for. this helps control fixtures in a similar fashion, even if from different manufacturers. so e.g. a parameter for a color wheel is always called Color_Select, no matter if the manufacturer calls it Colwheel, Fixcolors, colour macro.

Thanks Ueli, I was specifying the name that Astera calls it so there was no confusion interpreting what they have in the manual. But perhaps in light of this "color mix" isn't quite the right choice.
