Greetings,
I'm VERY new at Freestyler, Easy View, and DMX....yeah, I'm a mess. I was attempting to use a Chauvet Derby X Led in Easy View and am having trouble. I added the fixture to Freestyler and then added it again to Easy View using the same dmx address. When I change color values for the fixture in Freestyler, the real fixture output changes color (by real, I mean the physical chauvet light on a tripod next to my computer), but the Easy View model doesn't do anything (from what I can tell). I double checked the dmx address but after that, I'm not sure where to go. The Easy View fixture came with the software but I guess that doesn't guarantee anything. A solution would be awesome, but even a push in the right direction would be most appreciated.

An extra bit of info....I was successfully able to control an Aurorae Par 64 LED both in Easy View and physically. Something I'm doing wrong specific to the Derby I suppose.....

Thanks for your time!
Bob

The EasyView representation of my trackspots is awful. No colors and no gobos. It also poorly represents the positions of any of my lights. I've learned to live with it and give myself plenty (3+ hours) of position and movement tweaking between light hang and sound check.

I think that the problem is that DMX numbers sent by Freestyler to Easyview aren't synched. Easyview is almost universally used. The version that came with one of the other software packages that I tried rendered all functions perfectly.

I haven't had much of a chance to play around with scanlib.exe to see what affect it has on the fixtures.
