I have 4 of these.

Pan and tilt works great, just no color. I've read through every Wiki article that seems relevant. I just cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong. Also not sure what to do with channel 5 - "Speed". I've attached my fixture file, and a picture of the DMX Values from the manual. HELP?

Thanks
Peter

Do not see the DMX values picture and I am unable to find an online user manual.

If I looked at the correct instrument it is a 14 channel instrument - the fixture file specifies 13 - could channel overlap be your problem?

In Freestyler click on Output -> Show Output. From the resulting window verify the channels have the expected values.

The instrument has 2 or 3 modes. Wouldn't hurt to check that DMX mode is selected (I assume it is since you state that pan / tilt works).

Without the user manual I can't be sure but my guess is that channel 5, speed, controls the speed of the pan/tilt movement.

Update: I also noticed that the Shutter Channel defaults to closed

Looks like I got them working with a similar .pff --- attached

I didn't realize Lamp and Intensity were the same. Channel 5 was Pan/Tilt speed.

Now I need to figure out how to make sequences work. Thanks!
