Arena 7 & DMX: Clips are triggered on the wrong deck

Post by dherderich »

Hey guys,

I'm new to Arena 7, so please bear with me, if the correct answer is already somewhere posted. Unfortunately I did not find it so far.

Here is my problem (I don't think it is a bug):
I programmed in a cue of a sequence in my grandMA3 show file, that I want to jump to a specific deck, and that I also want to select a specific clip. The clip is on the new selected deck.
This happens at the same time.
But at moment, Arena selects the clips on the old deck, and then selects the new deck.
DMX-wise the channel for the Deck is before the channel for the clip.
I could workaround it so far, that I programmed the clip into the next cue part (with a delay) or into the next cue. But I would like to avoid splitting up the programming into different cues.

Is there a way, to tell Resolume that it should first select the deck and the clip when for both types new information is coming in the same DMX frame?

Thanks a lot for your help in advance!

Deck load takes some time, the clip can only get selected from the new deck, once the deck load finished.
You'd need to wait to send the clip select command for the deck load.
