Problems with Chamsys Fixture - how to trigger clips

Post by nicmune »

Hi,
I'm trying to use the Resolume's Chamsys fixture but I'm stuck.

When I'm using the shortcuts DMX for the Master Opacity and Level Opacity they're working as expected: in MagicQ I create a playback and the opacity in Arena goes up and down. Perfect.

The problems starts when I'm trying to use the Trigger Clip channel or the Dashboard channel: they doens't work. I can see the artnet output, Arena sees the incoming signal, but I cannot trigger any clip or choose a dashboard. I can bypass this problem patching some generic dimmers on chamsys, and use those channel to control every clip, but I need to operate a show with more than 50 clip, and I would prefer to use the Resolume's fixture instead of patching 50 extra dimmers.

Does anyone managed to solve this issue?
Am I doing somethig wrong?

Thansk in advance for any suggestions!

What version of Resolume are you using? That profile was only good for v5/v6

It's better to make your own. It takes me about 5 min per profile on MA, so Hog/Chamsys might be a bit longer? Why waste channels on parameters you will never need (clip anchor points for an example), I'd just build out a profile built for your needs :)

Thanks!
I use Arena version 7, I thought it might work anyway...

I will make my own profile, thanks for the quick answer! :)

Yeah, I mean the profile will still work, you just have to map everything in Arena since it doesn't come premade anymore.
