Re: Lamp on using the DMX Operator Pro
That is the problem of having an American DJ Vizi Spot 5R and an Elation DMX Operator Pro. Felt I needed to ask on the appropriate forum. I am going over the manual multiple times and I agree with what you say. Since you have clarified the lamp position phrase I now know that Lamp position is not the same as fixture position. I am hoping to program several scenes that will move lights to sections of the stage or where the stage may be. Then when needed select it. Just wondered if the spot...

Re: Introduction and basic questions
Thanks for responding, that's what I'm looking for. On my Operator and OpPro I have 8 scenes readily accessible with buttons. Seems that a color or color combo could be chosen for each song and use that in the BANK settings, then I'd just change scenes during the song. Here's what I've got on paper. Going to grab some fixtures from band today and practice programming. 1- quiet basic color scene for between songs, after blackout, quiet songs. 2. Aud Left 3. Center stage 4. Aud Right 5 slow...

Re: 260 acting up Menus and display weird characters
I believe American Dj created the profiles... However I do not have them to re-load. It would be great if I did not have to send the board in. I need it or a solution for the weekend. Also I do not have the u link cable or USB stick. I have been searching for a place to purchase these but no one has it in stock. Do you need to use the specific elation USB key and/or u link cable? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Fixture Profiles needed for Magic260
What does the .pdf traits page look like? What are you requesting in layman terms? Just starting out with lighting and DMX and though its not hard, it is still difficult to follow when terms are used that I'm not sure of. Question? If Elation and American DJ are the same company and I ask for a "profile" for a fixture from one of these two companies, wouldn't it stand to reason that you (or whomever is writing the profiles at Elation for the Magic 260) would have what you need?

Re: Manual sync song with cues
I wish they would allow Time code cues. Same as entering the in and out points, or delay. But all you would have to do is tell your fixtures what you want them to do,set the in point on the time code, and the out point. It would be easy to add a timeline in somewhere where you could add an Mp3 file. This would benefit everyone from the professional syncing a show to a musical number to a wedding DJ creating a special show for the bride and groom's first dance.

Re: New to Dmx..need help
Thanks. It is the larger Colorpalete, 8 sections and 27 channels, no dips, on the back it says there is a digital address, a001-458 or sumthin', we set the addresses for the palette to be fixtures 6,7,8---but the joystick causes changes, auto programs run, strobe, on and on. We need individual spots, the dj 250s are paired on our small stage to work as one. So we have the 250s at A001, Colorpals 6,7,8 using a 32dmx profile modified fixture to 27 channels.

Moving heads not facing "forward"
As a mobile DJ, we don't need moving heads to cover 360-degrees of space. Instead, we just need them to face forward and that's pretty much it. With the CompuShow software, the heads think they're pointing straight down on a dancefloor. I've tried to limit the X/Y parameters, but this just makes the movement area smaller--it doesn't shift the "center" that the fixture faces to the front (i.e. the dancefloor). So my question is whether or not it's possible to make a head act more like a...
