Hello to the FS community!

Currently trying to get my Venue TriPar64's (8-ch) to dim with the master intensity feature. It works fine between 100-1% but when the master intensity reaches 0% the lights 'turn back on' (for lack of a better description). For the most part everything works fine, except for this part.

I am using the American DJ - Mega TRIPAR profile. The manual for this can be found here:

I would appreciate any help on this!

Hi JDawg, do you use the master intensity or the fixture intensity to dim your lights down?

Some fixtures have various modes which will activate if one channel is set to 0. Check your fixtures intensity/dimmer channel, if dimming goes from 0 to 255 (or any other pair of values).

Do you use a MIDI fader for dimming or a slider you change with your mouse?

Or do you use a sequence? If so, check if you have a further, unintended step after your fading step, which changes the value back to a different intensity than 0.

Hey Laudrin,

Looking at the output of the dimmer, it appears that the lamp goes to its 100% value when it hits 0 (as you suggested). I raised the default value of the dimmer channel value slightly higher than 0 and it appears to fix it. I appreciate the input!

Apologies that it took so long to respond, I have been going through some family trauma this year. This is me trying to take my life back.
