Halcyon Silent Menu

Hi,

I have just received a patch of Halcyon Silent fixtures and delivered those to client. He decided to hang and address the fixtures by him self. After setting the fixtures up the colors where quite wrong and he asked me to fix it. And here what I found out. He didn't knew that the head has 3 different modes. And I can't blame him, because under "DMX mode" You will find 3 options; DMX, ArtNet, sACN in the menu. The actual DMX modes You will find under "Protocol". Also, with Set Light app You can only change the address.

BR, Kalle

  • Thank you for contacting us Kalle.

    I just looked into this and, as you suggested, I agree it is confusing. We have a lot of fixtures using the term "DMX mode" incorrectly, so it will take us some time to fix them all, but we are going to work on that for future firmware revisions. I plan for the new language to be "Control Source" as the menu option where you chose "DMX, ArtNet, sACN".

    Protocol will stay for what some products call "DMX Modes". This is because we have historically used this on all products and is our chosen terminology for this. I think it is accurate, although some people may prefer different words.

    Regarding the Set Light app, I will have to work with the set light team to see how we can further improve the interaction between the app and the fixture, I agree with you it would be appropriate for it to interact with all configuration features.
