DL3 and the Camera

Ok, so my head hurts from looking in the manual and reading the same thing over and over again. Is it possible to have the onboard camera send it's video through the projector? If So, which i don't know why it wouldn't how the heck do you get it to work. There must be some parimater i am missing. I have my fixture at 100% and the librabry set to 255 and the file set to 1. What the heck?

thanks.:dunno:

  • Hi Matt,

    In order to send the onboard camera feed back through the projector, you have to have the Svideo relays set to internal capture.

    To do this (instructions are assuming you have a Hog, since its the only console I know :)):

    1) Open the Iris
    2) On the motion library, there is a slot tool bar labeled "Capture". Select this and it will bring up another pair of selections. From this pair, select "Camera"
    3) Close the Iris for 10-15 seconds. You should hear an audible "click" from the fixture as the relays change.
    4) Open the iris
    5) Set a layer to Media Folder 255, file 1 as you already have

    This should do it for you. Once the relays are set to internal capture, they will remain there until you specifically tell them to do something else, so you should only have to do this once.

    Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

    Thanks,
