Cant get the full Blackout to work.......???

[Uriahdemon]

Hi All,

I have set up many shows now but on introducing a couple of new movers I can not get them to react to the full blackout. This has never been a problem in the past with all the fixtures I have. I am guessing I am missing a fundamental point when either setting up the fixture or when putting it onto a submaster.

I did not have enough space left on the SM's so I decided to set up on one SM a string of moves/colours on the moving heads via the sequence creator. All is working fine on the SM's and they are doing what I programmed however when I hit the 'Blackout' all other lights are off except the new movers.

Any help as always would be much appreciated!!!!

oke this is a setting on the Fixture file..

this can be done on differnt ways.

Shutter closed or RGB channels can be blackout..

So are you saying the basic fixture file has to cater for this....??

It is independent from FS and setup etc...??

Thanks again Spirit, as always you are a star.

Yes he is correct in saying that. I agree with his assessment. Usually the fixture file will have an incorrect default value for the intensity or shutter setting. Open the file in the fixture creator and check the values for each shutter and intesity.
