  Mirror function for FAN CENTER
Posted by: Edi_28 - 07-05-2020, 03:12 PM - Forum: Chimp Feature Requests - No Replies

When you have e.g. 8 Moving Heads in a line, the FAN CENTER function works perfect
for spreading the light over the stage widht by fanning the PAN from the middle to the outsides,
because PAN values of leftsided moving heads are decreased while PAN values of rightsided moving heads are increased.

But there is no possibility to spread the light from the back of the stage to the front of the stage by fanning the TILT values
where the centered moving heads remain in the back an the further away the moving heads are from the middle position on the truss,
the further the light should shine to the front of the stage. If you try that with the FAN CENTER function, the left sided moving heads
decrease their TILT to shine further to the back, while the right sided moving heads increase their TILT values to shine further to the front.

I think of an additional FAN CENTER MIRROR function, where the values are still fanned from the center position, but both fixture selection parts 
(leftside / rightside) have the same sign (+ / -) for the change of the parameter value (PAN / TILT / FOCUS, etc.).
And this method for fanning values would also be very useful for fanning individual parameter timing (think of a delayed fade in of the fixtures from the center to the sides).

  Infinity + LOAD and LOAD + AttributeGroup does not update programmer correctly
Posted by: Edi_28 - 06-05-2020, 10:26 AM - Forum: Chimp General Questions - Replies (3)

The programmer is not always loaded / update with the correct values.

Following example:
- Patch two dimmers
- Select the two dimmer fixtures, add Dimmer Wave Fx and record to fader 1
- Set fader 1 to 60%
- Select fixture 1 and press INFINITY + LOAD
- Current output for fixture 1 is loaded to programmer -> OK
- Now move fader 1 to 100%
- Also select fixture 2 an press INFINITY + LOAD again
- Current output for fixture 2 is loaded to programmer too, but current output for fixture 1 is not updated to new value -> NOT OK
- Even more worse is, that the fixture count in the FX is not updated to 2!!! -> ALSO NOT OK

The same problem exists when you press LOAD and select an attribute group on the touchscreen
LOAD+Effects does not update the selected fixtures when you have added a fixture to the selection after you have once called LOAD+Effects with an other fixture selection.

In my opinion, every INFINITY+LOAD or LOAD+AttributeGroup or LOAD+FIXTURE or LOAD+EFFECTS should update the programmer values for the selected fixtures.

  [Done v2.1] Configure NameIt function for switching between Cue/CueList
Posted by: Edi_28 - 05-05-2020, 03:13 PM - Forum: Chimp Feature Requests - Replies (5)

Would it be possible to add a parameter somewhere in the setup to switch the behaviour of the NameIt function if it should name the CueList or if it names the Cue?
So when I create a lot of CueLists with only one cue in it, I can switch to "CueList" mode and don't always have to call NAME+CueList extra.
It would be quite fine for me if the Cue in such CueLists gets its default name.

  [Done 2.1] Time palette
Posted by: gabe - 09-04-2020, 03:02 AM - Forum: Chimp Feature Requests - Replies (6)

Hi, is possible in v 1.11 store a timing preset/palette?(of course only modified ones)like normal parameters?
If no can you implement this? Imagine to get different preset with left to right or center out timing.. and then choose different presets .
Of course dim timing->dim preset
POS timing->pos preset
.
.

  UNICAST Artnet implementation
Posted by: gabe - 06-04-2020, 09:04 PM - Forum: Chimp Feature Requests - Replies (2)

Hi, my suggestion is to implement unicast Artnet mode in chimp os.

for example: I'm using sacn for my dmx node and Artnet to control arena.

i don't want my node process more data then I need.
So unicast to desired IP address.

will be wonderful be able to give chimp more than one IP address(so unicast to multiple device).

regards, Gabe

  DMX Routing and ARTNET IN
Posted by: gabe - 29-03-2020, 08:35 PM - Forum: Chimp Feature Requests - Replies (3)

Hi, 
for next release could be great implement artnet dmx in ,and window for advanced routing.

My idea was table view  that show all 512 ch in a universe, and a tool bar with some buttons.

In my mind user can click on channels in table to select it, and then apply some preferences on selected channels with buttons on toolbar.

in toolbar we can find :
 -a drop down menu for universe selection

-a group of 3 radio buttons to choose different modes for selected channels:
.....MODE1: INTERNAL ->default settings for all parameters in all universes, in this mode channels will follow the chimp output
.....MODE2: DMXIN.     ->channels in this mode are listening from dmx in(even artnet).this in pretty good also for implement pixel mapping from external sw(e.g. Resolume Arena send rgb channels, while chimp control general dimmer and other parameters).
.....MODE3: TEST.        ->set fixed value for this channel without patching nothing(useful to test how dimmers are wired or to control ambient theaters lights).

  ADD PARAMETERS FOR MEDIASERVER
Posted by: gabe - 28-03-2020, 02:28 PM - Forum: Chimp Feature Requests - Replies (2)

hi,
I usually do venues where led wall or projector are installed.
to control it I use Resolumevia Artnet, but there are  lot of media server with dmx control.
to control arena I've created mi own layer fixture. my fixture is this:
---------------------------
ch1:dimmer1(control video opacity)
ch2:dimmer2(control audio level)
ch3 thru 5: R-G-B
ch6:choose item(is an index to layer content)
ch7:choose transition time
ch8-9:video fx 1-2 (depend on situation, generally strobe and glitch)

my request is so:
can we get rename parameters in fixture creator? 

if it's not possible,can we get new sets of parameters for media servers in fixture creator?
Especially :
audio->in dimmer
clip->gobo
fade->gobo
video fx 1 thru 4 ->gobo
