DMX profile for Design Spot 575B

nerdfighterjakeMember

Hello!

My name is Jake and i am the lighting designer for the fall play at my high school. We are currently in the process of building a new theatre that should be opening on Friday. I was in the other day working with an ETC representative on getting trained using the Ion and our multi-paramater instruments. We have three Design Spot 300 pros and three Design Spot 575Bs. When I was getting trained on how to patch these instruments, the ETC representative explained to me that he could not find the profile for our 575Bs. He started to make one on his own, but it was his last day and was unable to complete it. I have no idea how to create a profile and I was wondering if anybody had a profile that I can use with the ETC Eos OS. Thanks for any help that you can provide!

(I am also posting this in the ETC forums)

Just a quick question. In the manual it mentions three different DMX configurations. Are these different models, or do all of the instruments come with the three configurations, or are they a sort of user preference type of thing. If the latter, what are the differences and what would you recommend?

A lot of our fixtures come with different channel modes. These different modes help the designer decided how many channels they want to use per fixture aswell as which features. I'd have to take a look at the manual and let you know which mode would work best.

Audix, Welcome to the forums. I can send you the profile for that fixture for compu live. The other consoles we will need to email them to you. Can you please specify which channel mode you wanted for that fixture and perhaps post a email address in which we can best get ahold of you? Thanks.

I have just purchased the Design Spot 575E, and I can't seem to find a profile or personality for them for the ETC Ion console. I have a question up on the ETC Ion form, but if anyone knows of one existing please let me know.

Download it here: http://db.tt/pqJ6e5i

Please note the warning in BOLD from a buddy of mine who made this profile for you.
Basically, you just have to merge the DS575 Basic show file (it’s in the main menu under ‘Merge’) and merge ‘Fixtures’. The DS 575 B will be in the Favorites section in Type of the Patch display. Once again, can’t guarantee it will work (worked fine in Offline editor though) and can’t guarantee it won’t cause damage, either to the fixture and/or the console. Use at own risk.
OK?

Thanks,

That appears to be for the DS 575B which the Ion has a profile for.

I have the Hybrid DS 575E which is 24 channel.

I will look at it, but if you know of one for the "E" let me know.

That should be in there. Look for Design spot 575E 16B (16 bit).

Jwyman, the profile I think you are looking for is already in the Ion:

The "Design Spot 575E 8B" is the 8 bit (22 channels) of the Design Spot 575E and the "Design Spot 575E 16B" is the 16 bit (24 channels).

The Design Spot 575B or Basic does not have any profiles in the Eos, Ion, and/or Element for the 8 bit (13 channels), 16 bit (15 channels) or 16 bit Extended (24 channels).
