JB-Systems COB-4BAR fixture file
Posted: 23 Aug 2016, 21:22
Here's 2 FreeStyler fixture files for the JB-Systems COB-4BAR.
"JB SYSTEMS COB4BAR" is a fixture file for the entire 4-bar (e.g.: it controls all 4 lights). The 4-bar needs to be configured in 17-channel mode for this fixture file.
"JB SYSTEMS COB4BAR 1UNIT" is a fixture file for just 1 RGB unit on the 4-bar. The 4-bar needs to be configured in 18-channel mode. You need to add 4 of these fixtures to FreeStyler to be able to control them. If the DMX channel for the 4-bar is 1, then the first fixture needs to be addressed at DMX channel 1. The second fixture DMX channel 5, the third fixture DMX channel 9, and the fourth DMX channel 13.
If you need to be able to control the 2 relays that are inside the 4bar, add 2 generic switches to FreeStyler and address them to DMX channel 17 and 18.
Advantage for the "JB SYSTEMS COB4BAR 1UNIT" is that each RGB fixture has an intensity channel for itself. So I recommend to use that.
If you are lazy and just want to add one fixture, then use the "JB SYSTEMS COB4BAR" unit, but the intensity channel of that device controls the intensity of all RGB units at the same time.
