Does 108IP dimmer fade evenly?

bdunardMember

I have noticed with a lot of LED fixtures(Design 36, Chauvet Colorado, Wiedamark, etc...) that the fade between the Red, Green and Blue don't fade to black evenly. For example, if I have a Yellow color called up (Red and Green led's active) when I go to fade to black the green leds go black before the Red. This leaves the viewer with a nice yellow fade ending with a flash of red before it goes black. This is common with all the fixtures I listed above. However, I have demoed the Martin Stagebar and the PixelPar 44 and they fade evenly. I was thinking about the 108IP but was curious if this had been addressed.

Are you using RGB fade or are you using the Dimmer channel on the fixture?

I am using master dimmer fade. It would too much of a pain to control individual fade times for R,G,B to achieve an even fade to black.

While you are looking into it i have had the same problem

I used my design 60 strips as eye candy in a show this weekend and noticed that when you dim the units to a low level some of the LEDs fade out before the rest. Does anybody have a work around for this other then writing a dimmer curve for each LED? When they are used as eye candy it is important that each pixel dims together.On the bright side they were way to bright when they are not dimmed

For the master dimmer channel I generally profile it without a linear curve since LEDs don't dim linearly. I have the pop out at the end as well with my LED lights, not just Elation ones.

They will also pop on if you are trying to slowly fade them up as well. Haven't found a very good way around this yet other then fading other lights up faster then the LEDs. The other thing I sometimes do is delay the fade up time of the LEDs behind everything else.
