Limiting DMX channel output
Posted: 09 Feb 2012, 11:30
Hi,
I am new to FreeStyler and have been playing with it for a few days now (with a homebuilt Vellman interface). Seems pretty good so far, and have started to make some fixture files as well!
I have noted the Vellman issues with latency on the forum, and noticed these when trying to control a pair of Acme Dynamo scanners. At first the pan and tilt motion was a little juddery.
Reduced the refresh down to 20ms in Freestyler setup and certainly much smoother scanning.
There was some discussion back in 2008 and onwards of Freestyler having a feature to reduce the amount of DMX output channels it sends (I don't need 512 for a small disco setup) - but - I can't seem to find this feature in the latest version??
Is anybody able to help me (has it been implemented and how can I change it??)
With kind regards,
Jon
