Fixture Request: HES SolaFrame 3000 Enhanced mode

Jason- when you say "Enhanced mode"  do you mean the High Fidelity fixture type?

Looking at the latest datasheet for the SF3000, it only has one control mode (49 channel), but two different physical fixture types ("Ultra-Brite" and "High Fidelity") that differ by the installed LED engine.

Hi Todd, just grabbed a document called "SolaFrame 3000 Luminaire Control Protocol" today, dated July-2019 for fixture software version 1.7

The main difference is separating the Animation wheel into 2 channels, so one controls speed and one controls in & out, though it also adds a second control channel for future use, taking the unit to 51 channels.

It was the first I'd heard of the unit having more than one mode, but I was choosing modes and settings for a new venue today and wanted all the latest documentation I could find.

Hi Jason/Todd,

This is a new mode (protocol as High End call it) which hasn't long been in the fixture. The fixture request has already gone into ETC, and it is in the process of being added to the library, so I expect you'll see it in the next fixture release.

Cheers

Dan

Thank you Dan!

Thanks for the info, Dan! I was unaware of the new mode, obviously.

Hi Jason,

Just wondering if there's been any follow up on this? We just received some of these units and the updated "protocol" (51 Addresses) is not an option still.

Attaching the most recent protocol here:

Thanks!,

Hi Eric,

I'm running Eos fixture library v2.9.1 (build 3) and I'm seeing the current profiles are existing in this software:

Enhanced [50ch] (note: the 51st channel is TBD according to the manual)

Standard [49]

Standard NoCM [49]

v1.3.1A [49]

Please let me know if any of the above modes are not what you are looking for. 

Best,

Therese
