Colorsource par: Don´t respond linearly to sub fader

Hi!

We have twelve COLORSOURCE par since two months and a ETC ELEMENT desk with the las software (2.3.1)

I have a problem with the fade of them: When I program a fade with time for example with a cue or doing a sanke, the fixtures fade in or fade out good, it doesn´t matter if I the time is one second or thirty second, they fade good. But when I move the fixtures one by one with channel fader or I record them in a submaster fader, when I fade out manually ( I get dow the fader from 100 to 0) the fixtures don´t fade out  always linearly or in the same velocity of the fader. The fixtures have a delay about a fader movement.  It doesn´t always happen, it´s more frecuently when you get down fast the fader.

Someone know what´s happen?

I would like to apologise for my poor english.

  • Can you please provide a bit more information about your use case please. When you fade the fixtures on the Element by fader, how are you doing that? Do you have the Element in channel fader mode, where your faders each control a channel rather than a sub? When you fade the fixture, are you fader only the intensity or are you fading the colors as well?

    Is the problem that there appears to be a delay in the fixture from the fader handle is moved?
  • Thanks for your answer!
    I try to get more information about the problem.
    For example: I have only one sub with twelve fixtures. The sub is in proportional mode.
    The problem is that when I move down the fader with different speed the fixtures answer with different speed about the fader speed...
    I´m sorry, I´ve difficult for explain it because my english level is not good...
    I want to explain is that if I have twelve tugsten fixtures like twelve S4 750w ( 12 dimmer channels)in one sub fader and I have twelve Colorsource in another sub fader, the S4 answer with the same speed like the sub father, and the Color souerce, sometimes yes and sometimes not... Ah! I´m explainig it with twelve fixtures, but with only one, is the same. The same answer if I use for example the ch101 fader handle( I have the first Color source patched in 101) to fade in or fade out the fixture.
    Thanks a lot.
  • I'm going to ask for one more piece of clarification. Is the problem you are seeing that the ColorSource fixtures are not responding the same as each other? Or is the problem that when you use a sub you see a difference in responsiveness between ColorSource and tungsten fixtures?
    Thanks.
  • i think what he seeing is that while each of his fixtures behaves the same as each other, neither of them is reacting the way to the fader as expected. sound like the colorsource pars would react dealyed. do the fixtures have an internal dimmer curve?

  • The problem is not that the colorsource don´t respons exactly than one S4 750w, no, I know that the response is very like, but isn´t the same. The problem is that our colorsource fixtures dont´t response equal to the fader movements but they response equal when I do a fade in or fade out with time. With fader sometimes they have a delay... With the bumps, the fixtures light on and off very fast but when I move the fader fastly sometimes, and I don´t know why, they have a delay and the light off and on isn´t so fast, sometimes are fast and sometimes they have a little dalay. With another fixtures, profiles, parcans, pc etc... the response os the movement of fader is always the same in the fixtures, never change, they haven´t delay.

    Thanks a lot!
