Problems with Chamsys Fixture - how to trigger clips

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.
