i seem to have an issue with my win7 and running easyview. all problems came up after upgrading from XP. yes, ive tried the win 7 fix, downloaded and installed everything as it should be but the FS doesnt seem to communicate with 3D. its says that it is controlled by FS and the DMX is on in ECO mode. still nothing.

also, im not sure if its win7 or videocard or setting problem but on the stage the screen doesnt load up the video normally only on the right upper corner of the screen and not on full screen mode. what the hell is this?
pls pls pls help!
this whole thing is going on my nerves.

Hej buttza.

Can you please place this info in the freestyler wiki.

I think this is relevant info for the "Troubleshooting" or "3D" part.

;)

Hi
I am trying get easyview working aswell.
I am on Win 7. The DMX Lamp is green and it says controlled by freestyler.
But there is no change on the DMX channels when i change something in Freestyler.
The Lamps do not react, even though they are on the same channels.
I tried it with the virtual interface aswell as with the method butzza has shown for xp.
Does someone know that problem? Does Easyview only react on cues? does easyview need to go in a specific mode to show Freestyler actions?
Thanks

edit.: now the DMX Level is shown, but the lamp does not shine. Fixture is a cameo Studio Par 64

Make sure you're not running an old version of 3D view!

If the dmx level is showing, then the communication should be there?

Did you remember to put the master intensity up by selecting the fixture, opening the lamp window, and increasing sliding the master up in freestyler? (I'm not joking or being silly - I used to forget this all the time when I was learning the ropes). Otherwise sending 100% of any colour is useless if the main intensity/dimmer for that fixture is zero.

It certainly has something to do with the dimmer, because, the Par 56 (who dont have one) do react but the par 64 (who have one) don't. I Checked the lamp-dimmer, the master-dimmer. Everything shoul work. When i hit a cue one of the 4 Par64 is reacting even though it wasnt part of the sequence.
If i connect the lamps to th eInterface, they shine as they should.

Then that points to a bad fixture within the 3d easyview program. It does have its own editor (nothing to do with freestyler one) where you can check the channel allocation and values are correct.
Unfortunately it is laid out a little differently and adds more things to figure out/learn into the mix, but you will probably find your answer in there.

I checked the fixture in the scan lib. Didn't find the fault.
