Fixture Profile fixes

Also sent to hoglibraries@highend.com
is that the right place to send?


-Martin VIPER Performance extended mode
Animate wheel.
0rpm > 300 rpm works as expected.
holding down '-' shows that it's rotating opposite direction... however, the rotation speed is wrong.
-1 is MAX speed (should be -300) and -300 is MIN speed. (should be -1)


-VL3500 Performance
This has been bugging me for awhile. I've reported it before, but not sure if it's going to the right people.
There is a way to adjust the Pan/Tilt speed between Fast and Normal mode via DMX on the Control channel. As far as I can tell, it's never been written in to the Hog profile. I imagine it would go in "mode" in the Enable/Mode/Control section.
I've copied the fixture profile and edited it to include it, but since there isn't a reestablished label for P/T Speed Fast, P/T Speed Normal, I have to label it with something that is completely unintuitive (like Projector Control, ReplaceMe15, etc)

  • Unless the new models of VL have it, regardless of console you still have to change the speed manually.
  • Not true.
    On VL3500 I can (and have) do it via raw DMX. It's just really a pain for any light not addressed at 001 to find it's control channel.
    Control channel at 16-18% for 3 sec is P/T Fast
    At 20-22% for 3 secs is P/T Normal.
    It's just not written into the Hog Profile.
