3 channel fixture should be so easy
Hello, I was wondering if some smart person could help me. I cant seem to find an example and this should be so easy. it is just a 3 channel fixture. channel one controls some fade in and strobe effects that I don't care about channel 2 is for warm light and channel 3 is for bright white. I just want to be able to dim it in a submaster. or at least with a master dimmer, can anyone help? Thanks so much

Re: 3 channel fixture should be so easy
Dimmer in master or submaster in general only react on the channel defined in the "intensity channel" or RGB channels.
So it is a bit difficult to do this as you have two white channel to control.
Can the fixture be set to a mode with more channels?

Re: 3 channel fixture should be so easy
Hey Thanks Jan, It does have a 2 channel mode with intensity as one channel and color warmth as the other, however the light is in a venue and it would be tricky to keep switching them back and forth. Can I just pretend for fixture creator that it is an RGB light and give leave channel 1 out and put channel 2 as Red and 3 as Green and then at least I can dim it with master intensity or submeter intensity ?

Re: 3 channel fixture should be so easy
You are right that placing the channels on red and green should solve the problem ( need to be tested)
An alternative is to make two 3 channel fixture and then place them on the same address.
Fixture 1: Total channel 3, Strobe ch = 1, Intensity = 2. channel 3 not defined.
Fixture 2: Total channel 3, Strobe ch = 1, Intensity = 3. channel 2 not defined.
Place both fixture manually on example adr 10,
In freestyler adr 10 will be defined as a strobe channel, adr 11 as intensity and adr 12 as intensity.
Master intensity will now work on adr 11 and 12 and this will be your fixture channel 2 and 3.
Does this explanation make sense ?

Wow, thanks so much, that does make sense. That is a very creative solution for sure, I will try both of the options out as soon as I get a chance. I really appreciate your help with this!
