Unexpected behaviour with submaster

Post by studijo »

Hi,

I'm a newbie in FS and experiece a problem.

I have 4 classic (halogen not LED, RGB) PAR64 fixtures.
To create a backlight with the 4 PAR's I created a cue with 1 step. The 4 fixtures are all selected with 100% output and the option 'Snap'. This cue is stored in a seperate cuelist with only this cue.

In the 1e submasters I have loaded this cuelist. With the slider next to that submaster I can change the backlight intension. It's configured, that, when I change the slider, the cue is automatically started (Stop -> Run)

I have tested everything and this worked.

Now the problem:
When I started up FS a next time it didn't work anymore...
To be clear: I use a BCF2000 to handle FS and when I use the fader for this submaster, I see in the CUE-list the cue is starting and the intensity changes but after a second the 4 PAR's goes all to 100%.

The only way I can solve this, is by opening the Submaster panel. When this panel is opened, the backlight function works as expected.

Can you explain why this works as described?


Freestyler 3.5.9 on Windows 8.1 with DMX4All USB interface.
BCF2000 with firmware 1.10
Fixture setup: 4 x PAR64 controlled by Dimmpack, 2 x Eurolite TSL-200 scanners, 1 x Ayra TDC-33, 1 x Geni FL-1800D strobo, 1 x Antari Z-1500 fog machine

you allraeady found the solution.

but FS works like this because there are differnt system to Playback the Seq.
and to let a Seq thats put inside a Submasters work correctly is to "OPEN"the submaster panel.

is there a problem to open the submasters if FS starts.

TIP: you can enable "open cue and submaster when startup"
