Dear Anne,

Sorry, the question was if we can control several dimmers patched to one channel as a RGB channel

The use of this is to light a background plastic by controling a whole serie of  devices as one source

Thanks again

Yes this is possible especially if your reds greens and blues are in consecutive dimmers.

You can either make a custom fixture, or just patch as some three address RGB fixture like some LEDs.

At that point, its pretty fun that you can use the color picker, and the Hue and Sat wheels.

You really need to set these up as an RGB device.  If you just patch several dimmers as dimmers - we see them as only intensity params.

if you have a cyclorama for example you can have 3 colors (red, green, blue) for cycliodes and just want a chanel with an RGB device for controlling the cyclo

I doubt it!

Everything I patch that requires more than one address is My choice for the First channel and automaticly selects the next addresses until it has enough.

However.......................................................

In my spare nonshow time(notmuch) I'm attempting to get our Cyc Lights to do something similar. But I have the need for 2 channel(color, Red/Blue) controll of 8 dimmers. My space doesn't allow for RGB in my 3-cell cyc lights,I don't like it much.  If I get it, I'll post the fixture.

The space I have doesn't allow for RGB in my 3 cell CYCs, hence the RED, BLUE.  I don't want to  use a standard RGB fixture, because I have students with slight knowledge and adults with no knowledge operating my Light Console. For ease of use and less tech phone calls from the uneducated I want a RB fixture bringign ease to color picking. Otherwise I'm no better then my current two faders as my Color Picker. As for consecutave dimmers;......On the pipe - Yes, cabling - maybe?!?:)

Anyone know a good program to use to write fixture personalties?

I think I found a work around for you.

Start with a Generic- LED RGB.

Copy the fixture 3 times to create 3 Custom Fixture, and call them Red, Green, and Blue.

Edit each of the fixture. For the Red Fixture, select the DMX Channels of Green, and Blue, and enter "0". This will keep the attribute, but remove the control channel. Make sure you keep all remaining attributes (Green, Blue, Intensity, Hue, Saturation, and Brightness).

Do the same for the Green and Blue channels, but remove the DMX control for Red and Blue, and Red and Green respectively.

Once the custom fixtures have been created, you can select the control channel for your cyc fixtures. Create 3 parts, and make each part your custom fixture of Red, Green, and Blue.

You can assign a different dimmer to each part.

Good luck. Hope this works.

thanks a lot it works
