Ion Desk V.1.10 / Creating Custom Scroller with more that 16 frames.

Hi folks,

I'm struggling trying to create a 22 frame scroller. Whilst creating (editing) a custom scroll, I get to up 16  frames with the calib column automatically generating a DMX value. As soon as I get to frame 17 & upwards, Cal remains blank. Whilst having higher frame numbers & names displayed on screen.

Clicking on Clear Calib, option on bottom of screen, I thought would remove the figures in the Calib column but doesn't appear to do any thing.

I've created a fixture type in the patch screen, which has three parameters Scroller / Hue / Saturation and have 22 entries for the range, so Patch = Type (Rainbow4 my creation), Attributes = Scroller (Mac's Stage II my creation).

Please can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong

Regards

John Mac.

    When you create the scroll, are you starting from a new scroll or are you editing an existing one?  Have you tried using using the Generic Scroller profile and applying a scroll with 22 frames for your fixture?  Does the scroller work even though you don't get all of the calibration values (are you able to control the scroller to all 22 frames)?

    You may want to try creating the scroll without having a channel selected.  After you created it, apply it to the scroller channel and see if you can get all 22 calibration values.

    Finally, the {Clear Calib} is basically a reset button to remove any calibration that changed for that frame.  It will not remove the original calibration that Eos creates when the scroll is made.

    Thanks Steven,

    Yes! Did as you suggested,  deleted the problem one and then started from scratch. Used the channel as a dimmer to prove I could access all 22 frames, then from a generic scroller rebuilt its the range to the required number  and then configured scroller colour sequence.

    Picked up on the font colour changing in the 'Calib' column, (goes blue when frame has been calibrated, returning to White when the clear tab is clicked).

    Orginal scroller file of dubious origin, now deleted.
