Page and General (Controller) dimmers
Posted: Fri Aug 16, 2013 2:47 pm
Hi All,
I am having a concerted effort to set up Sunlite Suite 2 to work with a BCF2000/BCR2000 combination, and I've hit a little snag - nothing to do with that combo I hasten to add.
I have set up separate pages for each fixture type, and have configured a BCF fader to act as the dimmer for each page. This works OK. Now, two fixtures (Chauvet Colorado 1 Tour and Chauvet Colordash Par) have a separate dimmer channel, whereas the third (Chauvet Colordash Quad) is simply an set of RGB channels with no specific dimmer channel.
I have also configured one BCF fader as a Master dimmer by linking it to the Controller General Dimmer. This works fine for the two fixtures with discrete dimmer channels, but refuses to dim the Quads.
I have checked the patching, and the Quads do have all RGB channels set for Dimmer and Page Dimmer, but they steadfastly refuse to be dimmed by the General Dimmer.
Any thoughts? Is this a bug, or am I missing something in terms of the fixture profile setup?
Cheers, Vince
