14 channel mnin spot need profile

[PtownBubba]

I am still confused about the 14 channel DMX sheet,,,, on the fixture it self, when scrolling through the mode menu, , I can choose 13 channel, or 5 channel,,,,,,,,,,,, what is the 14 channel declaration at the top of manual,,,,, ????? a printing error from the factory ?????

Wrong manual in box? If the light only has 13 channels, and you were not sure if your 13 or 14 channel dmx chart was the one to use I guess that answers your original question.

This is the light I purchased:

Has anyone else got this light, and found or made a fixture profile for it ?

Now another seller has this one listed , looks exactly the same, but has a slightly different description.

Like I said, my fixture says 13 or 5 channels when scrolling the lights control menu,,,, so maybe there is no 14 channel light,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ???? ugh ??????????

I suppose I need to find or have someone create both 13 and 14 ch profiles, and see which one will control the light ?

Theres loads of variations of the 'mini video recorder' style of moving heads, lots of which are usually made in the same few production lines, but to different specs and with different spec components, and with other small differences depending on the specifications of the buyer for each different production run.

I would suggest you load 13 single channel generic parcan fixtures into freestyler, set them all to about 50% so whatever channel the dimmer, etc is on you will have light output and just operate one at a time and write down on a piece of paper exactly what happens on each channel.
This will allow you to take a picture/sketch of each gobo to help make your fixture file with, and you will know exactly what channel operates what.
Once you get the hang of freestyler you can also then recycle this pics/info into easyview in the future to create shows without having to setup all your lights every time.
