DMX control

Post by thomasl »

Greetings,
I'd like to have mode for DMX without manual control possibility and clip switch and column switch only like event (change only by dmx event) but hard track dmx.

Is possible solved it?

How about taking the keyboard and mouse away when you have it synced?

Your problem is that your controlling visuals out of reach and someone is changing things, which messes up your cuing, correct?

Although a good tip, it is indeed impossible to retrigger a clip via DMX. This also becomes problematic after switching decks, because the clip in the same position as the playing clip cannot be triggered.

This is inherent to the DMX protocol, which only allows for changed values to be sent.

We're going to address this in Resolume 5, most likely by letting DMX channel x / value 0 'flush' the channel, and thus allowing a retrigger of the same value.

Hope that makes sense!

It's so far in the future that we're not even thinking about setting dates yet.
