Okay I have a question about COMPU MAGIC 3D SOFTWARE, Nov. 2008 EDITION. I have downloaded from elation, and installed on my machine, and cannot activate any DMX commands from my ShowDesigner 2CF into Compu Magic 3D. The first thing I noticed, was that the download installs and runs as “SUNLITE”, also my Compu 2048FC+ displays “OF” on the front LED read out, rather than the normal “PC”( with blinking green light at the top) when I first open the software. I have used this software a while back with my ShowDesigner 2CF, but now it does not do anything, except for allowing my to open with “USB INTERFACE DETECTED”, opening with a “SUNLITE” logo, and then displaying my stage.
I have checked all DMX patches, and universes with no issues. I also hooked up the fixtures to the 2cf DMX output, to verify there is DMX output, everything work just fine on the output with the fixtures attached.
I have also tested with Elation Compulive Nov 4 version with the 2048FC+ dongle, to the fixtures and everything works. The Dongles displays “PC” with the green light when controlling the fixtures. I even tested with recording “DMX IN” to a scene from the show designer 2cf into the Compulive, and all DMX inputs registered. The biggest issue I see with the magic 3d is that the dongle displays “OF” Immediately after clicking the software. I tried loading Magic 3d on 2 different machines. What should I try next?
