CYC PROFILES?

My patching is not as good as it should be! Director wants to use (old fashioned high intensity) cyc lights.

They will consist of two units each with 3 separate (R,G,B) bays. Due to power limits I'll have to patch 6 dimmers (IE DMX addresses). . (A) R, G, B and (B) R, G, B.

I want all of this to be controlled under a single channel so we can just select it and swing the color around as needed. 

Am I right in assuming I need to construct a new profile? I'm a bit vague how to spin out the 6 DMX addresses!

  • no, it will not. you're using 16bit mode for the parameters which means that addresses 1 and 4 will not get the same value.

    do you want for both units to always have the same color?

    if so, you have two ways:

    - modify your current profile. for RGB use 1, 2, 3. then add another set of RGB and use 4, 5, 6 there.
    - or you could make one channel and patch two parts, each part using the Generic > LED RGB 8b profile, address part 1 to address 1 and part 2 to address 4
