Using MIDI with Alcorn McBride WinScript
I'm designing a 4D simulation using an Alcorn McBride V16 Pro as the base controller. For the lights, the V16 has MIDI out which I'm sending to an SD2 lighting board. The issue is that the MIDI format is different than standard MIDI. Does anyone know any workarounds for this? Particularly if you've had experience using WinScript to program MIDI cues. I don't know if there is a way for the MIDI message to automatically convert to Elation's format or if there is a specific I/O or variable I...

SD1 and Generic Dimmer pack programming
I have an SD1 that is working fine but I have recently purchased a couple of Optima Matrix Pro dimmer packs. THey are supposed to work in 1, 2, and 4 channel modes. They work in 1 and 2 channel modes but fail in 4 channel mode. I have contacted the seller but they have no answers. I have suggested several times that it may be my programming but they are not familiar with the SD1. I am creating it as a Generic Dimmer and assigning 4 channels to it. I have tried 4 different dimmer packs and...

Re: Using MIDI with Alcorn McBride WinScript
The SD2 uses standard MIDI continuous controller messages to trigger scenes. As long as you can generate those from you software you should be able to create cues. The SD2 manual has a page that shows how to make the message. Controller messages work better than notes for this controller due to the large number of scene slots.

Re: SD1 and Generic Dimmer pack programming
Hi, After multiple tests using either of the Generic Dimmers definitions… I found that one definition is only 2 chnl and the other definition is 3 chnls. Instead of defining it as a Generic Dimmer pack I used RGBW and now I have all 4 channels working fine. Thanks, Phillip

Re: SD1 and Generic Dimmer pack programming
Hi, this should all work fine, as long as the patch is correct and the packs themselves are in the correct mode and address, if it works in 1 and 2ch, it should work in 4ch.

Platinum spot 5r pro missing fan menu
Hello everyone. Today I was using the V1.0 Plat Spot 5R Pro menu to help me find the fan control. According to the manual it is in the personality menu and between Status Settings and Display Settings. On my fixture which is running V1.1 there is no such menu. I can not find a V1.1 menu anywhere online and I have gone through the menu on the head and can not find anything to do with Fan control. Can anyone help?

Design Spot 250 Pro Service Manual needed
A bit of a shot in the dark but decided to ask here... In the past (2011 or so), requests for service manuals would usually get a response of "Send me your email and I'll forward one to you". Is that still possible today? I have two 250 Pros I need to revive for my church. (I already downloaded the User Manual...) Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Elation Image Pro 300 Gobo Projector won't light
Hi, My name is Robbie and I am a DJ in Upstate NY. I bought 2 Image Pro 300s some years back and sold one a while back. The remaining one has never been used. So I checked the connections and lamp and all seemed well. When I plugged it in and turned it on, the fan came on but not the lamp, so I opened the main access door and presses the little black rest button and it came on fine, but when I released the buttom it promptly turned back off. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I never...

Platinum spot 5R Pro pan sensor
Can anyone can shed some light on how To go about adjusting the pan sensor on the platinum spot 5R Pro fixture.
Reply
Re: Platinum spot 5R Pro pan sensor
greetings, i assume you are referring to the optical sensor? if so make sure the sensor is evenly spaced between the detection wheel, then leave enough space for the wheel to rotate without touching the sensor. Try to be as close as possible again without touching. then tighten the screws and test.
Reply
Re: Platinum spot 5R Pro pan sensor
Yes it is the optical sensor. Seems as though there was an issue with the sensor itself. working good at this time. There just seemed to be a fair amount of adjustments possible. Giving all the adjustability I felt maybe there was a bit more to it.

Re: eNode 8 PRO Firmware (VERSION 1 ONLY)
you have to determine via the menu/ software version, physically they are identical. if you have to replace the main pcb on an older unit (V1) the board will now be a V2. basically the update was needed due to end of life components.

Platinum Wash ZFX Pro Zoom stuck
I’m having issues with some of my Zfx wash pros where they’re stuck at a specific zoom degree and won’t respond to controls. Does anyone have suggestions what may be keeping it from working? I’ve tried factory resetting and manually controlling the zoom from the fixture itself but no luck.
Reply
Re: Platinum Wash ZFX Pro Zoom stuck
over time the small hex nut can tighten up causing the linear motors to bind. try backing them off 1/2 turn and retest. if not successful then the linear motor maybe fatigued and require replacement.
Reply
Re: Platinum Wash ZFX Pro Zoom stuck
Where in the fixture is that hex nut/motor? The head, arms or base?
Reply
Re: Platinum Wash ZFX Pro Zoom stuck
sorry it would be on the end of the linear motor itself, email parts at elation lighting . com and ill send a picture.
Reply
Re: Platinum Wash ZFX Pro Zoom stuck
I went ahead and tried loosening the 3 hex nuts that half turn, but during testing I don’t see/hear any of the 3 the motors run at all. Would it be all 3 went bad at the same time or potentially something else in the board not sending power to those 3 motors?
Reply
Re: Platinum Wash ZFX Pro Zoom stuck
I tried tracing the power lines but just making sure, the power for those 3 motors is on the backboard connected to J20-J22, correct?
Reply
Re: Platinum Wash ZFX Pro Zoom stuck
check voltage at the linear motor, it is possible for all to go out since they work equally.

Re: DR PRO RACK
Hi, welcome to the forums. it's most likely the tact switch has gone bad on the unit, and unfortunately it is a part of the motherboard, and it is not something we stock any longer as this unit is quite old.

It’s likely a power supply or driver issue. Check connections; if secure, replacing the power supply may fix it.

Re: Satura Led Spot Pro v2 Standard - suddenly fading out/in
@ True Foley There is a THERMISTOR attached directly to the LED chip located within the cooling fins. The temperature of the chip changes the resistance of this thermistor resulting in a temperature reading for the fixture. When this thermistor starts to fail, it fails in the direction of "overheating" which causes the fixture to fade off for safety. this thermistor is not easily replaced in my circumstances. its tiny and very close to other critical and delicate components of the LED chip.
