I'm getting along fairly well so far with everyone's help. I have 2 fixtures (ADJ B64 Led Pro and ADJ Color 250D) in my chain that won't respond to black out. All the other fixtures respond fine. Is this just a profile error? I can post them if it will help. Thanks.

Open the output window and you can see if the values on your lamp/intensety/shuter channel change when you hit blackout.

Internal Freestyler will set the shutter channel to close when you hit blackout. So check if that channel is set in your fixture files correctly. If you have ony set an intensety channel, copy the values for intensety 0% and 100% to shutter open and close.

With LED fixtures this could work a little different. If you only have RGB but no intensety channels you of course can set no shutter channel. I think then RGB are set to 0. But I do not know exactly.

Here are the profiles. If someone could take a look to see if the correct blackout info is there, I would greatly appreciate. Still learning this stuff, but it's getting easier1

The manuals would be very helpfule, to compare your fixture files with

Cool- here they are.

I just checked the blackout info:
The 64B LED PRO looks good. What you can do is also enter channel 7 as intensety channel (but make shure it is also entered as shutter channel) to get the right intensety controll in freestyler.

The file for the Color 250D contains no intensety information at all. But here you missed to enter the correct shutter values for open and closed as well!
Enter Chutter channel = 1,
open = 255 (shutter channel open means full intensety)
closed = 0 (shutter channel closed means zero intensety)
You can then enter the same values to intensety channel (channel 1, min = 0, max = 255) to gain full intensety controll over the fixture from Freestyler.

With this settings blackout should work fine.

Thanks- I didn't create the profiles- a friend did. I'll try and update the profiles tonight.

Apologize J.I'm still kinda green at fixture profiles,hope all is going well with your set-up.

No problem bro- you've helped imensely already. Just figured I'd put it out there to see if anyone could spot an obvious issue. So far so good with everything else. Might call you this weekend if you have time!

So I got the color 250D's to work, but the LED 64's still don't react. I changed the intensity channel to 7 and re-exported the profile. No change. Any ideas?

I tested your fixture in FS by looking at the DMX output and it seems to work as it should.

How did you test it?
- Magic 3D?
- The ADJ B64 Led Pro itself connected to FS via interface?
- DMX output Window in FS (which shows it should work)

Make sure the PAR can is set to 7 ch mode

yes, I have the fixtures connected to FS via USB. I do believe they did respond to blackout using a generic LED par that I tried before I got the real profile, but It wasn't a 7 channel profile and was limited in function.
