DL2 loss of Motor Control for iris/focus/zoom

Jabba,

If the head cards are new, chances are you need to run "Projector Defaults". The reason for this is that the projector type (there are several possible, as the DL.2/DL.3 run on the same software and there is a possible 3 models to choose from) is stored in the head card, and if the card is replaced the unit no longer knows which type of projector it has. Because of this, you lose Zoom/Focus/Iris control.

The Projector Defaults routine detects which type of projector is installed in the fixture. If you go into the Set -> Projector Tab on the menu, at the bottom there is a button to run the Projector Defaults. Press this once or twice and wait a bit. It will make several changes on the projector, and then you should see the fixture home. When it homes, it has detected the new projector and you should have zoom/focus/iris control back.

Give it a try and let us know what happens.

Matt.

Sorry for the delayed response. Trucks were traveling and internet access blah blah. The "projector defaults" worked. I knew it had to be something software related but I just couldn't find it. Please let Joe know as I had spoken to him 4 days ago as we tried to sort it.

Glad to hear that it worked for you and it was something simple!
